To the Bishop and Members of the Hock River Annual Conference in session at Mendota, September, 1873: The Committee appointed by your honorable body during the session of October, 1871, in Aurora, just after the great Chicago fire, to whom was specially committed the imperiled interests of Chicago Methodism, beg leave to present the following report: While we accepted the post of difficulty as the post of honor, and entered upon our work of resuscitating and rebuilding our burned churches and institutions, with no light but from our burning homes and with no hope but in God, we now recall these months of toil and trial, and recount the Divine deliverances with great pleasure and profound gratitude to our merciful Father who has always been better to us than all our fears. We cannot advance in this report much as it is a labor of love, without acknowledging that " every good gift cometh from God," and that " without Him we could do nothing at all." With our homes rebuilt, our churches reopened, our city risen from the ashes, so beautiful and vast, that all the world wonders, it seems impossible to realize our want, our desolation, our extremity of two years ago. To get any approximate appreciation of our experiences, we must carefully recall our condition and work preceding the fire. As a denomination, our church was on the stretch to keep abreast of the young city. In the midst of a population trebling every decade, and in a city adding new miles of homes every year, the church has felt herself compelled to venture upon her credit and faith to the utmost in order to meet, so far as possible, the pressing and increasing demand for new and more accessible church accom- modations. She was running before the breeze with every inch of canvas set when the fiery gale of the ever-memorable October 8th struck her. We were in no condition to receive such a blow. It took us at disadvantage. It made our rallying more difficult. This con- dition was one of our principal virtues. A more conservative policy Report of Committee would have made us powerless and useless in the hurrying heroic city We acted as wisely as we knew, and accepted the disadvai tage of our adversity as in the order of Providence. Herewith we present a condensed statement of how the fire left us. The Garrett Biblical Institute attracted our first attentu fire a few months previous, had compelled the trustees to erect and costly buildings on the Market and Lake street property, necessitated a debt. The great fire took away the improvements stopped the income ; but it left the mortgages and the accruing interest, and the constant expense of maintaining the school, institution, -endeared to us by the memory of its founder and by i having trained many of our pastors, seemed on the brink of ruin if not beyond our aid. This property was encumbered of *96 000, and at the rate property near by was sold immediately succeeding the fire, would have scarcely paid the mortgage debt At best, the Garrett Biblical Institute with its indebtedness, < be counted only as solvent. Grace M. E. Church was situated in the North Division of the citv on the N. W. corner of Chicago Avenue and La Salle street. It was a fine stone edifice, costing over $100,000. It was wiped out, leaving a debt of $24,000, and a society and congregation every member of whom was burned out of both home and business that was left was the encumbered lot, and a scattered people. Clark Street M. K Church, or the Methodist Church Block, hao been the mother of all the other churches and the rallying point Methodism. Its large and steady income, devoted to church extensi in the city, had enabled a goodly number of struggling societi build and become both self-supporting and aggressive long before they otherwise could have become such. The large credit of this corpora- tion was in use to the extent of $32,000 in the purchase of lo mission churches and in aid of poor churches. There was left and $32,000 debt, and how much good insurance we could not 1 Trinity M. E. Church was situated south of the fire, but seemed to have been burned up without having been actually in the flames. It was on this wise. The society were taxing themselves utmost to erect a church adapted to the community, and they hac been assured and this was generally thought wise throughout the city Methodism, that liberal aid would be granted from the Church B Chicago Methodist Relief. Their edifice, costing about $80,000, was approaching the completion of the lower auditorium. This was to be dedicated in a few weeks, when the debt was to be provided for. The fire burned away the business and fortunes of the men who were expected and expecting to meet these obligations already incurred. Thus the building, con- ceived and matured in a style worthy of the city and of the church, stood there, within a few weeks of completion, with the sound of the workmen hushed because they could not be paid, and the voice of the contractors not hushed, because they could not be paid, and the membership seeking employment with which to provide bread for the approaching winter. The entire debt unprovided for was believed to be nearly $20,000. Van Buren Street M. E. Church (German) was a fair property, consisting of lot, church and buildings. The fire left the lot with $12,837 indebtedness. It was felt to be dangerously involved. Cly bourne Avenue M. E. Church (German), was well started in a good locality for the future. The church was worth $15,000, and the parsonage $3,000. The fire left nothing but about $6,000 of indebt- edness against the lots. The society seemed burned out and burned up. The vast majority were thrown upon the general charity for their bread, and the future seemed hopeless. Scandinavian M. E. Church, in the North Division, was burned, leaving about $3,000 indebtedness. Michigan Avenue M. E. Church (English), was a new enterprise undertaken by a handful of brave young people. The church cost about $12,000. It was nearly ready for dedication, and like Trinity it was burned up without being in the flames. Most of the members were left without employment, and their enterprise was crushed by $6,000 of debts. State Street M. E. Church belongs to the same class, only it was smaller, with less indebtedness ; that being only about $2,000. These are the enterprises most painfully involved in the conflagration. The other M. E. Churches were heavily encumbered even for ordi- nary times ; but in times like these, instead of helping the afflicted they were actually gasping for the breath of life. Centenary M. E. Church, ranking as a progressive and resolute people, and having on the Sunday of the fire made a subscription toward her own debt of over $12,000, was so badly crippled that she could not promise any definite salary to her pastor, and had to receive Report of Committee him with the simple assurance that " if they could pay him anything they would." And for the time, her recent subscription was regarded as canceled. Her debt was $23,000, and her ability was never large. Wabash Avenue M. E. Church, famous for large things in the past, was reduced in ability and scattered in membership. The parsonage in rear of church was burned, and the church, much damaged, was saved only as by fire. Her debt was about $15,000. She had one leading member uninjured by the fire. Park Avenue M. E. Church was under a debt of $9,000. Ada Street M. E. Church, a new enterprise created by the liberality of the other churches, was crippled by a debt of $9,500. Grant Place M. E. Church was badly burned. The fire reaching within a few doors of the edifice, cast many of the members upon the charity of the world ; yet their debt was $4,300. The loss in church property was not less than $300,000. But this loss represents only a small part of the actual loss. The great grief and distress was beyond all this. It was the poverty of the men and women upon whom the church had rested in the past. With but two or three exceptions, every one of the twelve hundred Metho- dists of the churches destroyed were burned into poverty, or so reduced that they could not be relied upon to carry forward the great benevolent enterprises of the church. While the buildings, erected at great personal sacrifice, had been swept away, and the fortunes that could have replaced them had gone down in the same wild storm, there remained upon the neck of these homeless and fortuneless ones, church debts amounting to about $270,000. Besides all this, there were heavy personal obligations pre- cipitated upon them by the fire. These facts now coolly put together, in the quiet of a better day, indicate to what an extremity we were reduced. It is not too much to say that without the substantial aid of our brethren and the blessing of God we could not have rallied with the new demand. The blow struck us almost senseless. But rallying, our people went bravely about the work of resurrection and creation. The Committee created by your body, settled upon a plan that justified its adoption. It consisted in recognizing the unity of our cause, and so the common loss. The losses of every charge, their pressing indebtedness, their possible resources, were all collected. Chicago Metlwdist Relief. All the interests of all our societies, German, Swede, English, were passed over to your Committee. It was felt that all the interests, as well as the general cause, would fare better with the Committee than they could separately. This great indebtedness was treated like the needs of a firm, to be handled with exclusive reference to their most pressing demands. Seeing then what was to be done, your Committee, in its first meeting on Thursday after the Conference, called upon their minis- terial brethren to step forward into this breach, or, more strictly, it was the spontaneous purpose of both laymen and preachers to devote themselves to this work till our cause should be again on a war footing. It was agreed to send our brethren to all the leading cities, and ask of the Denomination help to save the Church. This was felt to be a delicate and embarrassing work. It was no light tax on the devotion of our ministers. They left their families, many of them homeless and breadless, with no means of support but the general assurance of the laymen that they would divide with them in their absence. We said, " Go tell our story, and we will care for your families," and they went. The next Sabbath they were in all the great cities of the North. Drs. Hitchcock and Dandy were in Cin- cinnati and Covington; Drs. Hatfield and Reid, and Rev. C. C. McCabe, were in New York and Brooklyn; Dr. Raymond and Rev. M. M. Parkhurst were in Boston'; Dr. Bannister was in Central New York; Dr. Bayliss in Buffalo; Dr. Thomas in Pittsburg ; Rev. M. McChesney in Albany; Rev. E. M. Boring in Dayton, O.; Rev. W. H. Daniels in Central Illinois; Rev. W. F. Stewart in Northern Illinois; Rev. Dr. E. O. Haven in Baltimore; Rev. A. Edwards in Detroit; and Rev. Dr. C. H. Fowler in Philadelphia. Our wants were great, but our friends were greater. While we stayed at home to reorganize our plans and begin again our fortunes, our pastors gave themselves to the reorganization of the church. The result of this work is seen in the report of the Treasurer, Mr. O. Lunt, which is given in detail in this report. It aggregates about $149,000, besides other collections not coming into his hands for church and special personal relief, of over $25,000. This munificence was beyond all our fondest dreams. It was a new revelation of life and power ; only those who were in the experience know how this cheered our hearts and put us at advantage. The benevolence of our brethren, so great before the fire, was surpassed by them after the 10 Report of Committee fire. They felt like rising into a justification of the high confidence the Denomination and mankind had reposed in them. Some men in our earlier struggles had three times over in successive dates divided their fortunes in the middle and given one-half each time to the Church. But now some seemed to give more than all, and call on the future to pay it. Xot a single church was aided that did not do vastly better than they were asked, and thus by giving in their poverty they were enabled to hand back to the weaker ones some portion of what the Committee had voted to their credit. Trinity made a subscription that filled all our brethren with gratitude. An individual case will illustrate many more. One man had made a subscription of $2,500 to the Trinity Church. The fire wiped out his entire fortune, and it was felt that his subscription must be canceled ; but when the reports came in, and there seemed a chance for life, he renewed his subscription of $2,500 and added *1,000 to it. From the day after our first fire meeting when T. W. Harvey, R. F. Queal and C. Busby gave, in aggregate, $15,000 to the common fund, to show that what was not bunied must be divided to the day of the dedication of Ada Street Church, our last field day, this spirit has possessed oiir people. The money received from the church was divided by the Committee among the several interests according to their best judgment, the details of which will appear in the Secretary and Treasurer's report. Be it said to the credit of the Church and to the glory of God, that after a full canvass of this entire question, the report of division was unanimously adopted. The spectacle of moral grandeur found in the benevolence of the great Church at large was not marred by selfish contention among those it so greatly relieved. Your Committee feel themselves unable adequately to express through you to our brethren throughout the whole Church this sense of gratitude, or their estimate of what has been done for the cause in our midst. We feel that success is the best return we can make for what we have received. Therefore, we herewith submit a brief statement of our present condition. Garrett Biblical Institute. The trustees have rebuilt on the old site, corner of Market and Lake streets ; the new block is larger and better than the old one. Though it was built when the prices were all inflated and so at great disadvantage, the trustees find the Chicago Metliodist Relief. 11 old debt augmented but about $6,000, while the income from the block is considerably larger than it was before the fire. This school of the prophets is on a better foundation than ever in the past. The Clark Street M. E. Church, or the Methodist Church Block has been rebuilt in finer style than before and is yielding a larger income ; with no adverse fortune it will soon liquidate its indebted- ness and carry forward its old work of aiding the feeble societies. The lecture room of this church was dedicated in November, 1872, and the audience room is almost completed. Grace M. E. Church has been moved a little farther north, and a new brick church has been built. It has a temporary front, but as far as it has advanced it is in a style suited to the community where it is located. The basement was dedicated in Spring of 1873, and all the accrued indebtedness was provided for. The history of this society is intensely interesting ; in the last two years they have kept together (no small achievement), rebuilt their homes, and are now in comfortable shape for the future. The church, when completed, will cost $75,000 ; cost to present time, $45,000. Trinity M. E. Church was opened for service in January, 1872, by the dedication of the basement. The subscriptions on that day reached the sum of $23,000, and so provided for the indebtedness up to date. Van Buren Street M. E. Church (German) have steadily urged forward their work. They are now erecting a church block on the corner of Fourth avenue and Van Buren street, something like the Church Block on Clark street, costing about $35,000. Clybourne Avenue M. E. Church have also built a church block on Clybourne near Division street ; it consists of a hall for worship, with two stores underneath. They dedicated their hall to divine service, June 29, 1873. Scandinavian M. E. Church has done nobly ; they received relief to amount of $7,955, and collected among themselves $10,118. They have a fine lot 84 feet front, a temporary chapel on corner of Oak and Market streets, on North Side, all costing $11,891; also on West Side on May street, a lot 97 feet front, church 50 by 75 not finished, and parsonage, costing $16,103, a debt in all of only $2,700, which they are expecting soon to meet. Michigan Avenue M. E. Church was completed far enough to dedicate the basement Feb. 5, 1872. The building when completed Report of Committee will cost 825,000. Having met their obligations so far, the brethren are now proceeding to finish the upper room. The State Street M. E. Church was dedicated December, 1871, and cost about $4,000. Centenary M. E. Church has paid one-half of its old indebtedness. Wabash Avenue M. E. Church has had a peculiar experience. The U. S. Government took possession of the church for the Post Office. They give a fair rent. The trustees purchased the Olivet Presbyte- rian church on the corner of Wabash Avenue and 14th street for $60,000, and on such time, that the rent of the old church, will about pay for the new, and the society will be the gainers by one good church property. Ada Street M. E. Church. This society have just completed their very fine audience room ; it has been done to the satisfaction of the denomination in the city, and now is one of our best church edifices. It cost $60,000 ; there remains a debt of $5,000 unprovided for, besides the cost of the lot, $10,000, which is a part of the obligations of the Church Block. This brief statement we hope will show our friends who have taken such large interest in Chicago Methodism, that we have done something to keep step with the growing city, and this resultant we feel will be more gratifying to them than any resolutions of thanks we might be able to draft, could possibly be. We have extended this part of the statement with greater freedom, because the work recited is not specially our work, but is emphatically the work of the entire denomination in the city ; men, women and children, as well as the officers of the churches, have worked for the ends achieved, and our commendations are for them. We can never express our sense of gratitude to the whole Church that in such marvelous manner rose up for our relief. We sat in the ashes of our churches without the means of helping ourselves; you saw us and came to our side, saying, " This is God's cause, and so our cause; you are in the breach where mighty work must be done for the Master ; let us stand by you, and see that nothing is wanting to your success." We have learned that Methodism is a great universal fact. The connectional bond means something. It is not merely fine sayings in the mouths of our General Superintendents, but it is a great vital truth, making the Church a great reality. Now the Church seems to us so full of life and sympathy that you cannot touch the humblest Chicago Methodist Relief. 13 member in the most remote circuit but every other member in the great body feels it. We are thus parts of an organism that means mutual help and protection. We feel that we are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and whatever concerns any member concerns all. We need hardly say to our brethren that the kindness which felt for us in our distress, and the benevolence which came so nobly to our relief, have made us feel that we are debtors to you all. While we would keep the apostolic injunction, " Owe no man anything," we gladly acknowledge the rest of the sentence, " but to love one another." We also feel that in a holier sense than ever before, we are the property of the church at large. We have learned new trust in the spirit of Christ that possesses and permeates the entire Church and society. Christ's spirit has tamed and smoothed the wildness and roughness of our natural barbarism, till now the helpless command the strong as never before. The report it has been our privilege to make, can give only a hurried view of events that are the most memorable in many lives and that might fill many volumes. Some parts of it may seem unworthy of so great a theme, but we have condensed the report to the simplest statements. It shows a healthy condition of our work. But it does not show the vast fields open to us in many quarters of our city where Methodist Churches are needed. More than 100,000 people have been added to our population since we made any new stands, or developed any new enterprises ; we could place many thousands of dollars if we had them, where they would secure powerful churches in a few months. We are in a marvellous growth ; it requires wise planning and vigorous execution to keep up with the growth of population. In spite of all we can do, there are ungospeled thousands all about us. With face toward the future, and faith in God, we repeat our gratitude to God and to our brethren, and crave large place in the prayers of those who, in the past, gave us such large room in their benevolence. All of which is respectfully submitted. GRANT GOODRICH, Chairman. ORRIXGTON LUNT, Sec. 14 Report of Committee SECRETARY'S REPORT. To the Rock River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church : At the annual meeting of this Conference, held Oct. 17, 1871, the following resolutions were presented and adopted : WHEREAS, a sea of fire has swallowed up the labor and the gifts of years invested in trusts and objects dear to the Church and precious to the world ; therefore, Resolved, That the Garrett Biblical Institute, and the Clark Street Methodist Church Block, and the other Methodist Episcopal Churches, including American, German, and Scandinavian, which have been overwhelmed in the ruin of Chicago, are, in the judgment of this Conference, justly entitled to the special consideration of the entire Church, inasmuch as their rescue and restoration are vital to the interests of Methodism in the North-West. Resolved, That while we recognize in the Trustees of the Institute and of the several Churches, the proper authorities to direct their re-establishment, we desire, as a Conference, to urge the most prompt, vigorous and comprehensive action of these boards of trust in securing, by gifts or loans, the funds necessary to this object. Resolved, That we commend the representatives of this Institute and of these Churches to the benevolence of the Church at large, which, we are well assured, will not suffer these precious interests to perish. Resolved, That while we depend upon the Trustees of the Institute and several Churches to devise their own plans of relief, yet we would recommend that the following brethren be appointed a committee to appropriate to the most needy objects all funds donated for the above purposes, not specially applied by the donors, namely : G. Goodrich, J. K. Botsford, J. G. Hamilton, R. F. Queal, A. R. Scranton, A. E. Bishop, E. H. Gammon, G. C. Cook, O. Lunt, T. W. Harvey, Wm. B. Phillips, Simeon Farwell, C. Busby, Wm. Wheeler, F. E. Bradley, J. E. Wilson, F. Everett, D. H. Pike, J. B. Hobbs, H. Dickhaut, F. Fisher, and J. B. Sirvertson. Immediately after the adjournment of the Conference, the Commit- tee were called together at the Centenary Church, and in view of the above, the following were appointed to visit respectively the fields assigned them, to solicit aid in behalf of the above objects, viz. : Miner Raymond, D.D., and Rev. M. M. Parkhurst, Boston and New England. Rev. S. McChesney, Albany and Eastern New York. Rev. W. H. Daniels, Central and Southern Illinois. Rev. W. F. Stewart, Northern Illinois. Rev. C. G. Truesdell, Iowa. Chicago Methodist Relief. 15 C. H. Fowler, D.D., Philadelphia and vicinity. Rev. Arthur Edwards, St. Louis and Detroit. J. M. Reid, D.D., R. M. Hatfield, D.D.. Rev. C. C. McCabe, New York and Brooklyn. Rev. J. H. Bayliss, Indianapolis, Buffalo, and Western New York. E. O. Haven, D.D., and T. M. Eddy, D.D., Baltimore and vicinity. H. W. Thomas, D.D., and Prof. J. F. Eberhart, Pittsburg and Eastern Ohio. W. C. Dandy, D.D., L. Hitchcock, D.D., and J. M. Walden, D.D., Cincinnati, Kentucky and vicinity. Henry Bannister, D.D., Central New York and Wyoming Conferences. Rev. E. 31. Boring and Rev. R. P. Duval, Central Chio. Rev. Albert Ericsson and Rev. A. J. Anderson, for the Scandinavians. Rev. C. Loeber and Rev. G. L. Mulfinger, for the Germans. O. H. Tiffany, D. D., New Jersey. It was understood by the Committee that the appeal should be for the general cause. A meeting of this Committee was held, Dec. 7, 1871. Judge Goodrich was called to the chair. On motion, Orrington Lunt was elected Secretary and Treasurer of tliis Committee. The following persons were elected an Executive Committee, viz. : Grant Goodrich, Robert F. Queal, E. H. Gammon, Charles Busby, and A. R. Scran ton. A full report was made by the brethren who were appointed to solicit aid, of the money and subscriptions secured to date. On motion, the Executive Committee were requested to inquire into the indebtedness of the Methodist Institutions and Churches of the city. This Committee met at Centenary Church in pursuance of notice, and received from each Church and Institution the statement of its liabilities and the general ability of its members, standing, and condition. A meeting of the General Committee was called to hear their report, Dec. 11, 1871, at which meeting the following report was submitted : The Executive Committee to whom was committed the duty of examining into the financial condition of those Churches and Institu- tions injured or destroyed by the late fire, beg leave to report, that from reports to the Executive Committee of the liabilities and re- sources of such Churches and Institutions, of which an official record has been made by your Secretary, and which has formed the basis of 16 Report of Committee our action, the amount of subscriptions then reported, Avith what may be added to it by efficient effort, your committee believe may be estimated at $185,000. As was expected, a diversity of views prevailed among the members of your Committee, impressed as each one was with the pressing needs of the Church or Institution with which he is more immediately connected in sympathy or responsibility. After canvassing the necessities and interests present and future of the several subjects seeking aid, their influence upon the prosperity of the cause of Christ represented by the Methodist Episcopal Church, your Committee finally harmonized, and recommend the following resolutions : Resolved, That in discharge of the duty imposed upon this committee by the resolution of the Rock River Conference under which we were appointed to dis- tribute the funds which might be contributed for the relief of the objects there indicated, we direct that all such funds so coming to the hands of this com- mittee, to the amount of $185,000, be distributed on the following basis : To the Garrett Biblical Institute, . " Grace Church, ... " Trinity Church, -- - 17 > " Clark Street Church, 18,000 " Michigan Avenue Church,. 5,508 " State Street Church, " Ada Street Church, - " Swedish Church, " Two German Churches burned with their subscriptions, . . " Grant Place Church, upon existing mortgage, .. " Oakland Church, - 50 $185,000 These amounts are inclusive of all funds specially designated, except in case of the two German Churches. The report of the Committee was accepted. Brother Wheeler moved that the resolution of the Committee be adopted, which was passed unanimously. The Treasurer was requested to declare dividends at such times as there may come into his hands sufficient funds to amount to 5 per cent., and pass the same to the credit of each participant pro rata according to the distribution made by the Committee. ORRINGTON LUNT, SeJy. Chicago Methodist Relief. 17 TREASURER'S REPORT, With R,eceipts and Disbursements from Nov. 1, 1871, to Aug. 15, 1873. The Treasurer would state that a small portion of the subscriptions were made to specific objects, but as the amount granted bv the Committee to each one of them was so very much larger than the whole of the amounts so specified, no note is made of it in this report. The Treasurer desires to return his grateful thanks to all of our ministerial and other brethren with whom he has been obliged to press his correspondence in relation to the collection of the subscrip- tions, and if at any time he has seemed over zealous he trusts they will pardon him and accept it as in a good cause. The receipts are here reported as they have come into the hands of the Treasurer. There are some pledges still unpaid and some amounts collected by the brethren not yet forwarded to the Treasurer, which he presumes will soon be forthcoming. STATE OF MAINE. PAID THROUGH J. P.
