ury. In 1920 the Second PRESBYTERIAN
church was organized. The congrega-
ton met in a corridor of the old navy
department building, which was offer
ed free of charge for that purpose.
Later the F street church and the
Second church were consolidated into
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church.
John Quincy Adams was identified
with the Second Presbyterian church,
and once rescued it from bankruptcy

Second church, and figured conspicu-
ously n the quarrel of the congregation
over Mrs. Eaton, Peggy O'Neill," who
had a staunch friend in "Old Hickory"
Among the other presidents who at
tended the two older churches and the
New York Avenue church were James
K Polk, Franklin Pierce, James Bu-
chanan Abraham Lincoln, and Andrew

ment of agriculture; Senator German
of Maryland, Senators Burrows and
