FIFTY YEARS OLD,
Presbyterian Church to Celebrate
Its Golden Jubilee.
MODEST BEGINNING OF CONGREGATION.
In the Years That Have Gone by the
Church Has Eypanded-Preseaf
Membership 100, there are
800 W0rshippers.

1t is nov nearly fifty years ago that
the First Presbyterian church Of Mani
towoc was established, and the elders
End pastor of the church are preparing
to worthily celebrate the golden jubilee,
That the celebration will be in accord
ance with the festivity of the occasion
goes without saying; all the old pastors
who, from time TO time have minister
ed to the congregation will be here to
see their old charge again, and to par
ticipate in the exercises.
When the church was organized at
Manitowoc Rapids, June 26 1861, In the
house Of Fred Borcherdt there were but
very few Presbyterians in the county
and a much less number in Manitowoc.
A bakers dozen would have made a big
congregation. but the people then had
the same spirit which animated the old
Puritans, and they laid the foundation
Of what has since been very thriving
church organization. AT the first meet
ing which evolved the church, the Rev
J, j. Wrighter, pastor OF Plymouth
church, Milwaukee, was asked TO act as
moderator, and he came by the way OF
stage coach to attend. 1t was agreed
then that church should be founded
and the first services were held in the
home Of Mr. Borchardt
In March 1854 so strong had the church
grown, that it was removed to Manito-
voc, and an unpretentious building was
taken on Ninth street opposite the Epis-
copal church, and there services were
held until 1870. The old building has
now lost its religious character, and it
il doing service as a harness shop.
After the congregation became fix
ture in this city, the Rev. Meade HOlms
was called 10 the passionate, and he per
formed the rites and duties Of his min
isterial Office for several years at a very
modest stipend. During his pastorate
the number Of communicates grew

sound financial basis.
During the fifty years, pastors came,
ministered here and then departed for
other fields Of work, but it is said they
all remembered Manitowoc with much
affection. During the incdmpency Of
the sacred Office Of the Rev Mr.. Stevens
the church made greater leaps forward
than in the years previous. He held the
pastorate from April 3, 1855, until June
1877, He built the present church brild-
ing on Eighth street and furnished il
