Minister St. Paul' U. B. Church, Hagerslorvn, Md. HREE quarters of a century have passed since The First Church of the United Brethren in Christ was organized in our city. Whatever the disappointments encountered, on the whole success has crowned the efforts under the guid- ance and blessing of Almighty God. One by one, as time moves on, the workers are gathered home. The inspiration of their faith and labor in the Lord is our common heritage. It behooves us, as we have oppor- tunity, with prayer and thanksgiving, to serve the Lord with a pure heart fervently. That we may hold sacred in memory the celebration of this Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the organization of our congregation, this souvenir is respectfully dedi- cated and offered to the members and friends of The First Church of the United Brethren in Christ of York, Pennsylvania.

Sr\ 1885-90 u 1 HE picture of the church as it appears in this souvenir is a fair representation of the church at the present time. The lot on which it stands was purchased in 1 782 by Jacob Settler, who erected thereon a meeting- house and presented it to the Methodist Episcopal Church. In it was organized the first Methodist society of the city. This was a result of the work of Freeborn Garretson, who first preached in a private house near the place. After some years this frame building was replaced by a brick church in which the Methodists worshipped until our peo- ple purchased it from them. At the suggestion ol the old Otterbein church in Baltimore, Md., the Pennsylvania Ccnference'sent a missionary lo 'i'ork in 1840 to organize a United Brethren society. The Mission- ary society of the Otterbein church paid two hundred dollars a year for several years to the support of the mission. Rev. Christian Crider was appointed to begin the work. The lot and brick church above referred to and the adjoining graveyard were purchased by our people for $1,500.00. I he first Board of Trustees was composed of Peter Rauhouser, of Dover; Adam Strayer, of Winterstown; and Jacob Ehrhart, of Dover. At this time there were no members of the United Brethren Church in the town. Rev. Mr. Crider soon effected an organization and served as pastor for two years. Rev. Jacob Rinehart became pastor in 1843. During his term a parsonage was built; the house now owned by the Durr estate, standing a few doors north of the church. The base- ment of this building for a long lime was used for prayer and class-meeting. Rev. Enoch Hoffman was ne.xt appointed pastor in 1845. He remained two years. The work of the church at this time became so discouraging that the mission was in danger of being abandoned. Forty-three members were reported, with $1 17.00 as pastor's salary paid. Bishop Hanby, presiding at the Conference, with tears in his eyes pleaded that they " try it one more year ". Rev. J. C. Smith was accordingly appointed pastor in 184/. This was the beginning of a new era in the history of the church. When he came the church was dilapidated in .ippear- ance, burdened with debt, and the membership poor and dis- heartened. At the end of four years he left the church in a good financial condition with one hundred and fifty active members. History of the First Church of the United Brethren in Christ of York, Pa. Rev.
