Is about ready for occupancy. The
membership has largely increased since
the organization, and the church has
reason to feel much encouraged. The
services are all well attended and the
church members maintain the interest
well.
In 1850 Rev. c. l.. Richards on the
advice of the Presbytery visited Miles
City in the interestso Of Presbyterianism.
Invited by Mr.. Richards during that
fall Rev. w. l.. Austin arrived there
and organized church. He was COM
PEELED to leave In a few months. Efforts
have been made to secure the services
offs minister for that place since last
spring and one is expected daily.
This Is a brief summary of the Pres
bytcrian churches in Montana. The
multiplication of the churches may not
be as much as some of the friends of
this denomination might desire, but
there has been steady increase from
the beginning in membership, and
the church has not taken any position
which 1t has not held. May this branch
of the church in Montana, in the future
a. in the past, with malice to none,
with charity to all, continue its work,
with all other Christians, of honoring
God and blessing the human race.

PRESBYTERIAN OHURUHDs OF
MONTANA.
Their Organization, Members, Pro-
Rrees and Present Outlook.
BY REV. j. II. Russell.


The policy Of the Presbyterian Church
is to organize churches only where
there is u demand for such organization,
and then only when there is good rea-
son to suppose that the services of
minister. for that church can be ut once
secured. The practice Of the first dis
trict missionary of the Presbyterian
Church in Montana was to organize
whenever and wherever he could find
two or three willing to be gathered to-
gether i'm the name of Presbyterianism
So ut the first session of the Presbytery
of Montana, held Mt Helena in June,
1872, seven churches were registered as
organized by him within twenty days.
Another church was added to this list
during the fall of 1872, by member of
the Presbytery and reported ut the ses-
sion of the Presbytery held in Febru-
AIRY, 1873. Of these eight organizations
there was call but for four. Only three
ministers were in commission for the
Presbytery of Montana, and these were
40 circumstanccd that they could not go
from place to place as itinerants. The
result was that only three of these or
CARNATIONS survived the day Of their
birth. These were the churches of
Helena, Bozeman and Deer Lodge.
The church in Helena was organized
in June, 1872, and was supplied first by
Rev. J. r.. Russell. In the fall of that
year Rev. w. G. Rommel came to Nom
tana to take charge of the church. I'm
der his administration it prospered.
The membership increased several fold
handsome brick house of worship. AS
erected ut cost of more than $11 900.
In 1879 Mr.. Rommel returned to the
east. Januaryl, 1877, found Rev. J. d.
Hewitt successor, to Mr.. Rommel in
Helena. Mr.. Hewitt remained two
years and accepted call to church in
Kansas. Rev. Geo. A. Smith, of Santa
Fe. N. M, succeeded Mr.. Hewitt. 1t
was at this time that this church at
tempted selfsupport, and 1t succeeded
we'll. Mr.. Smith was compelled by i'll
health to leave In about fifteen months.
Rev. w. Scott Sites, who came to Nom
tana for his health, supplied the pulpit
for nearly year. At Mr.. Stites' re-
quest Rev. w. Reed came to Helena.
shortly after he received call to be-
come p.lstor OF the church, which he
accepted. Mr.. Reed was Installed as
pastor Nov. 80, 1ssG. Thus this church
enjoys the distinction Of being the first
Presbyterian church IN Montana TO be-
come self-supplying and the first to have
9 pastor.

FINANCIAL.
During the past year $l,854.OO were
raised by personal solicitation. On the
day of the church dedication, July 18th,
1881, two Of the ministers present gave
each s5OO.W and the ladies of the Aid
Society Of the church pledged &5DO.OO
more. Other amounts were subscribed
until the total on that day reached the
sum of $s,0oO.0o. Adding to this the
sum raised prior to the dedication Of the
church and we have the sum of e4.854
raised during the conference year for
the purpose of finishing the church and
liquiiating the debt Of $4,000 which
rested upon the property at the conn
mencenlent Of the year. These figures
show the enterprise, libemlity and reli-
gious patronage Of the citizens of Butte,
and place Il property valued ut $12 600 in
the bond Of the Trustees.
THE SPIRITUAL WORKINGS OF THE
CHURCH.
The Sabbath School being ably super
Intended by H. J. Blume ut the COM
mencenlent of the year and now by r.
B. Crane and taught by a faithful corps
OF teachers, ranges in attendance from
100 to 1870. The new singing books,
Redeemer's Praise,'' from which i'm
struction is given weekly by Professor
W. H. Clark, Is highly appreciated by
the teachers and the instructed. The
church membership is rapidly increas-
ing, there having been prior to July l. t
thirteen received OH probation and
thirty-eight into full connection, and
since the commencement of the present
conference year, August LIST, ten have
united in full connection. For spiritual
favors and success and for the kind
providence which has been over us az q
Christian church in this land, this
mountainous land, this land of wealth,
of silver and of gold, the land Of enter
prise, of life, of sunshine, Of health and
liberality, We feel like sending shout
Of praise from the gil.led, glistening
peaks of Montana to the far east and
around the world, and to unite with the
great christian brotherhood of man In
singing that grand old hymn:
90 All hail the power Ut Jesus' name,
Let ang IL pTUstrste fall
Bring forth the royal Aiadem
And crown Him Lord OF = l."
The daily miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1879-1885, 1882-01-01

This congregation was then without
regular ministerial supply until the ar
rival of Rev. c. l.. Richards, in the
summer Of 1877. Since his arrival the
church has grown steadily and healthi-
~. The membership has increased, the
congregations have become steadily
larger. A beautiful little edifice has
been built and paid for. No church in
this denomination in Montana has more
encouraging prospects.
The other of the surviving and char
ter member of this Presbytery Is the
Deer Lodge church. The first Freshly
terrain house of worship in Montana
was built by this congregation. 1t was
finished in January, 1875. In 1879 Mr..
Russell was directed by the Presbytery
to move to Butte and take charge of the
Presbyterian interests there. Rev. J.L.
Hcnning came to Deer Lodge in June
of that year. He left the following
year, since which time the pulpit in Deer
Lodge has been vacant. The members
have with conlMendable zeal continued
their Sunday School and maintained it's
interest.
The church in Miss0ula was organic
cd under an order from the Presbytery
In the spring of 1876. 1t was not until
the next year that the minister for this
church arrived on the field. Rev. NJ.
l.. Cook has supplied this place since
the summer of 1877. His work also ex-
tends up into the Bitter Root Valley.
AS II result Of his labors in that dircc-
ton, in 1880, acting under the direction
of the Presbytery, he organized u
church ut Stevensville. Both these
churches are in fourishing condition.
In the spring of 1877, Rev. l.. Ii.
Crittenden, who had been teaching in
Gallatin Valley for nearly five years
organized n church Of seventeen men,
bers near Hamilton. A subscription
was started among the farmers of that
neighborhood and in about year nice
little church building was erected.
About year ago Mr.. Crittendens'
health became SO feeble that he was
compelled to give up preaching. Mr..
Richards Is able at times to conduct SER
vices for this church.
A church was organized ut Wickes in
1880. 1t numbered twenty-four menu
bers and was composed of menu
beers of several different denomina-
tions. After consultation it was unani-
mously agreed that they would apply
for admission into the Presbytery of
Montana. Accordingly, at the meeting
of the Presbytery in August, 1880, Rev.
Thomas Wickes, Of the Congregational
Church, applied, with this Church, for
admission into this Presbytery and were
received. Mr.. ickes' health not per-
hitting him to supply the church regu-
larly, the services Of Rev. w. G. Pol
lock were secured in the spring of 1881.
But Mr.. Pollock found the climate UNI
suited to him and left within a few
months. 1t would he hard to find q
more wide awake and active little
church than this. Services are kept up
regularity One of the elders reads q
sermon every Sunday morning to the
congregation, the prayer meetings are
carried on regularly and with growing
interest and the Sunday School ia a
thorough school of Biblical teaching.
In 1873 the Presbyterian church In
Butte was organized. It was supplied
