of the public mind at the time. There
is one notable prayer which has in 1t a
vein OF humor. The Senate had been
for some weeks moving along in its
work in dilatory fashion, much after
the fashion Of some of the Senates Of
to-day, APPARENTLY needless of the i'm
portance Of momentous questions
which were pending before it. One
morning DR.. Sunderland arose and as
founded the Senate by an ardent prayer
to God for brains. On another occasion,
during one of the fierce slavery and
antl-slavery debates, Senator Salisbury
of Delaware was bringing forward ar
gument upon argument and proof upon
proof selected with great care, that
slavery was thoroughly sanctioned and
even ordered by the Bible. DR.. Sunder-
land one morning offered prayer in
which he asked the Lord God to be
pleased to send down his Holy Spirit on
the Senate and on the people of the
country, and followed this by referring
to hell and slavery as one, with Ian
guage that was more oratory than
prayer. He clearly disproved the Sails
bury idea that slavery was Bible in
stitution, and finished by praying that
tthe Senate and the people, with the
help of God, might avoid one and abol-
ish the other. Those were the days
when partisan feeling was bitter among
all men, and the ministers of the gos-
pei were not excepted; but this prayer
which took the form of speech, caused
a great talk from one end of the South
to the other.
The First Presbyterian Church is a
historic building, and its history is
closely identified with the great Ameri-
cans of early days and the beginnings
of our Government. The first meeting
place of the church was a car
penter shop in the grounds Of the
White House, which was being used
during the erection of that building in
1895. The shop, as we'll as the White
House itself, was then known as way
up town, and in fact in the woods. In

Church Famous i'm National
History.

served until 1919. While occupying the
room Of the Supreme Court in the base
ment of the Capitol they determined to
erect a church to the south of the Capt.
tol. This was subsequently done and
was first occupied In 1872 1t was
known for long time as "The Little
White Chapel Under the Hill" 1t Is
on Pennsylvania avenue, between First
street and the South Capitol, where
some of its walls, still standing, are
buried by the debris deposited there.
In the course Of time, the congregation
increasing and the city growing to the
west and north, 1t was decided to pur-
chase the site of the present church on
Four and One-half street on which to
erect larger edifice. 1t was dedicated
in 1927, at which time the Rev. Reuben
Post was the pastor.
DR.. Sunderland became the pastor in
1853, and in 1860 the church was much
enlarged and put into the condition in
which 1t is at present. 1t is now a
large, well-lighted ediflce well-fitted and
furnished, and the audience hall, with
good acoustic properties, is particularly
inviting to the pastor. The roll of
membership is not large, nor has it
ever been, although 1t has contained
the names Of many noted public men.
The first record, eighty years ago,
shows a membership of thirty-five. In
1853 the roll Of members was 269. Dur
ing the pastorate the whole number Of
names added to the role was 1,126, Of
whom 1851 have been removed by dis
mission, exclusion or death, leaving 344
as the present membership. If an es-
innate were made of the aggregate
number of church members from the
beginning it would probably not be
more than 1000, while the number of
pew-holders would reach 5000 or 1000.
In this number there have been many
men and women of prominence in
church and state. Many Of the we'll
known names of old Maryland, Vir-
ginia, and District families who have
attended the church since the begin
ming are the Clarks, the Bradleys, the
Blagdens, the Caldwells, the Rapins,
the Underwoods, the Crittendons, the
Dangerfields, the Lindslys, the Pages,
the Parkers, the Walkers, the Waides,
the Beals, the Wrights, the Dahlgrens.
The church has also been attended, or
sometimes visited, by such men as
Henry Clay, and many Senators, Repre-
sentatives and jurists, John Quincy
Adams, Thomas H. Benton, Daniel
| Webster lanes X Polk Franklin
Pierce, James Buchanan, Schuyler Col

those days, according to accounts, Mrs.
Adams, the wife of the President, used
to have her clotheslines stretched
across the East Room. The Adamses
occasionally attended the little carpen-
ter's church near them in the woods.
After the completion OF the White
House In 1902, and the little carpenter
shop was torn down, the congregation
which had been formed there met in an
old building which was used as a
schoolhouse, near the northeast corner
of Tenth and f streets. After that they
removed to what was then known as
"the Academy East" near the present
site OF the Washington Navy Yard. Up
20 this time DIR. Sunderland said that
the church was a kind OF nomadic In
stitution, the congregation worshiping
where they might. When the large
block on First street N. E. was built
now three private residences, but
then used for the saaatnns Of -Cnueras'
while the Capitol was In process ol
building, the elders OF the church OBJ

this time was John Rrackenrldee. who

It is impossible to estimate the influ-
ence of this church through the stirring
decades of the past by being brought
into touch with so many Of the great
characters that have moved in this ma
tional theater. In 1885 President jack
son had a controversy with the Rev.
Mr.. Campbell, then pastor Of the
Second Presbyterian Church, in regard
to certain religious matters, and be-
came pew holder, which gave the
church great prominence during his
administration. Mrs. President Polk
was most devoted to its interests and In
lS49 farewell reception was given her
Immediately after her last communion
there. President and Mrs, Pierce be-
came regular attendants, and aided the
church personally in many ways. 1t
was In this church in 1858 that the
great series of daily prayer meetings,
then spreading over the country, were
inaugurated. DR.. Sunderland calls 1t
the beginning of baptism on high
which prepared the nation for the aw-
full baptism of blood which followed 1t.
During the four years of the civil war,
situated as it was at the very center OF
dissension, although the capital of the
Union, the church was foremost for
the Government and emancipation. In
July, 1868, it was the scene Of great
conference, when DR.. Massey of Lon
don presented an address from the
French and English clergy on the ques-
ton of emancipation and the issues Of
the pending struggle. One Of the most
notable and far-reaching events in the
history of the church occurred in the
Winter of 1866, The late Hon. Frederick
Douglass then delivered from the pull
pit his lecture on the life and death of
Lincoln. 1t was the only door then
open to him in Washington. 1t cost the
church dearly among certain classes Of
people who had been its supporters. but
1t was the first step to establish the
prestige of free speech for the colored
people as a race in this country.
