The causes leading up to this action may be briefly stated. There were two groups of people who constituted the early popu- lation of Springfield. ( )ne "roup came from the South. Kentucky Ten- nessee, and Virginia. Many of them were staunch Presbyterians of Scotch and Scotch-Irish antecedents. They had come from the background of slavery and they had the polish and easy-going social liberalism of the south, while theologically they were very conservative. The other group came from New England and New York. They were Puritans by tem- perament with a very strict social conservatism. Theologicallv they were liberal, as liberalism was then defined. In addition to this they were radi- cal and outspoken abolitionists, and unrelenting in their attitude toward human slavery. Among this second group were many Congregationalists. Under the "Plan of Union" missionary work was carried on jointly by the Presbyterian and Congregational churches, and local churches decided whether they would attach themselves to the Presbyterian or Congrega- tional denomination. These two groups joined in the organization of the Sangamo (First) Presbyterian Church in January, 1828. But the dif- ferences between them were too great to permit them to live together in peace. Among other differences there seemed to exist some conflicts of opinion between the northern group and Dr. John G. Bergen who was the stated supply of the church so that they could not agree to his installation as pastor. On the Session book of the Sangamo Presbyterian Church under date of May 26, 1835, it is recorded that "Ebenezer S. Phelps, Sam- uel Reed, elders, and twenty-eight members requested letters of dismis- sion and requested Dr. Bergen to officiate and organize the church, to which Dr. Bergen cordially assented." Mr. Clinton L. Conkling. for fifty years an elder of the Second Presbyterian Church, wrote in his history of the church, "Thus out of the slavery question, theological antagonisms, the eccentricities of the pastor and perhaps temperamental differences, arose a division among the members of the church." Perhaps the theological question was the greatest factor in this division for when the Presbyterian Church divided into Old School and New School in 1837 the Sangamo (First) Church affiliated with the Old School branch and the Second Church affiliated with the New School branch. This breach was healed when the ( )ld School and Xew School churches reunited [Seven] in 1869 and the two local churches became members of the same Presby- tery and have since that time always worked together in the utmost har- mony. In the month of January, 1807. fifty-five persons were dismissed from this church to form the First Congregational Church of Springfield. Mr. John II. Piper, in an article in the Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society, April-July, 1923. says, "These were not malcontent Presbyterians, seceding from a church with which they had become dissatisfied, hut Con- gregational ists, who had affiliated with the Presbyterian Church because there was none here of their own denomination." The church has had thirteen pastors. Their pictures and terms of service are shown immediately following this brief sketch. The most no- table of these pastorates was that of Reverend Albert Male, who served for a period of twenty-seven years. A fitting memorial tablet commemo- rating this distinguished service has been placed in the narthex of the church. The church has had four buildings. The congregation first worship- ped in the Count}- Court House. The first building was a frame structure located in the middle of the block on the east side of Fourth Street, be- tween Adams and Monroe Streets. The second building, dedicated in 1840. was located just across Fourth Street in the same block". This was built of brick and was for its day. a very imposing and commodious struc- ture. Tt was in this building that the House of Representatives of the Illinois Legislature held its sessions in the winter of 18,^9-40. before the lirst State House was finished. A bronze tablet marks the location of this building. The third house of worship was located on the northwest corner of Fourth and Monroe Streets and dedicated in 1871. In this building were held the sessions of the Illinois House of Representatives in the spring of 1871 while the present State House was being built. The present beautiful church was dedicated in 1908. The architects were Cram. Good- hue and Ferguson, of Boston. It is pronounced by competent critics to be cue of the most perfect pieces of adapted gothic church architecture in America. At a meeting of the congregation April 9, 1919, the name of the church was changed from the Second Presbyterian Church to the West- minster Presbvterian Church.

THE COXKLING MEMORIAL WINDOW Sixteen I (Litr (Imiklhtr; ffi,tmxtxml W'.txbxthx Designed and made by Reynolds, Francis and Rohnstock, Boston, Mass. ("ram and Ferguson, Boston — Architects of the Church The Gift of mrs. john s. Mccormick, Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton L. Conkling DESIGN The design of the stained glass takes the form of twelve medallions containing figure subjects in full color on a background of grisaille or dia- mond quarry work. The central lancet, being wider than the two side ones, has a simple border. All the medallions are uniform in size except the top one in the central lancet containing the Ascension. This, the climax of the entire scheme of subjects and the focal point of the whole composition, is emphasized both in scale and color. Added emphasis is given by the groups of adoring angels at the tops of the two side lancets. The rhythmical lines of these kneeling figures inevitably lead the eye to the dominating figure of the ascending Christ. COLOR The primary colors, blue, red and gold are featured in the color scheme, and the secondary colors of orange, green and violet are used subordinately. The prismatic colors concentrated in the medallions are clear and glowing. Their beaut}- and loveliness are enhanced by contrast with the luminous grisaille. The beautiful blue backgrounds of the figure subjects with the other colors superimposed lead up to the glorious red background of the figure of Christ in the Ascension. The combination of color and grisaille does not obstruct the light, but subdues and softens, enriches and glorifies it. SUBJECTS The subjects are from the life of Christ — Childhood. Ministry, and the Ascension. [Seventeen | These subjects read horizontally from left to right and from the bottom up. Beginning at the lower left hand corner they arc as follows: 1. The Annunciation. The angel appears to Mary and announces that she is to be the mother of Jesus. 2. The Nativity. Strictly speaking, in this design, not the event but the mystery of the Nativity is shown. Mary and Joseph kneel in the stable. The Christ Child reclines on a bed of straw and reaches up toward his mother. Seraphim hovering above sing the glad tidings. The star directly over the Child sheds its rays of light upon him. 3. The Presentation in the Temple. Here, for the sake of com- position and to avoid crowding the space, only Mary and Simeon are shown. Simeon receives the Child Jesus and blesses him. 4. The Flight Into Egypt. Joseph being warned in a dream by an angel, the Holy Family flees into Egypt to avoid the wrath of Herod. 5. The Dispute in the Temple. Mary, his mother, says "I and thy father have sought thee sorrowing". Jesus replies "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" 6. The Baptism. Jesus baptized by John. The Spirit of God de- scends like a dove upon him. 7. The First Miracle. Jesus turns water into wine at the marriage feast at Cana. 8. Sermon on the Mount. "And he opened his mouth and taught them." 9. Jesus Walks on the Water. Matt. 14:22-31. "And . . . Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said . . . ( ) thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" 10. Raising of Lazarus. "And ... he cried with a loud voice, Laz- arus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth." 11. Raising of Jairus' Daughter. "He went in. and took her by the hand, and the maid arose." 12. The Ascension. "And . . . while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight." SYMBOLS In order to add interest to the grisaille man)- symbols have been woven into the design. In many instances these symbols relate directly to the incidents near which they are placed. For instance, the sword beneath the Flight Into Egypt has reference to the Massacre of the Innocents. The font suggests the Baptism. [ Eighteen] The Fleur-de-lis, the MR, the Rose, the Star, the Gate of Heaven. all are attributes of Mary. The Phoenix beneath the Raising of r^azarus refers to the Resurrection. The Alpha and ( )mega < the A and r ( )) signify that the beginning and the end of all things is in God. The various cross forms stand for Christ's sacrifice. Others, not specifically mentioned, may he discovered. Just above the Flight Into Egypt notice the diminutive angel appearing to Joseph as he lies asleep.
