Journal
The Second Presbyterian church. at
the corner of North jackson and Cor
don streets, has an interesting history,
which dates back almost to the time
of the close Of the Civil war. In fact.
the church was organized by settlers
who came here at the close of the war.
The first Presbyterian minister to
visit this field was Dr. F. s. McCabe,
in 1869. DIR. McCabe was at this time
the pastor of the First Presbyterian
church. In the early history of Pres
byterian activities north of the river
DIR. McCabe was assisted in his pas
toral visitations and in the services
held for the people of the vicinity by
the Rev. James A. Veale, who was at
that time a retired Presbyterian min
lister.
The first public meetings which led
to the organization of the church were
held in the Van Horn hail. located
where the Citizens bank building now
stands. Immediately previous to the
organization Of the church the ladies,
who have always been active in its
life, took steps whereby the church
came into the possession of lot No.
95 on Quincy street in the original
Eugene plat of the city, just opposite
the old Quincy school building.

ley and Mrs. Warboys.
The Rev. John C. Miller was called
as the flrst pastor of this new church
and served the congregation seven
years.
One week following the organization
of the church the following officers
were selected: Elders, E. s. Ward, Dr.
NJ. r. Mitchell. who had served as
elders In other church organizations,
and J. N. Ross; deacons, F. H. Will
son, John A. Miller and William A.
Ward. Early in the pastorate of Rev.
]. C. Miller the congregation built
church edifice on the lot previously
purchased by the ladies'. Material as
sistance was furnished by the First
Presbyterian church. The cost of this
structure was $500. The dedicatory
sermon was preached by DR.. Timothy
Hall, Nov. 16, 1879. Dr. McCabe
preached at the evening service.
Erected New Edifice.
The first church edifice occupied by
this new organization was in constant
use until the 1903 flood which so dam
aged the foundation of the structure
that it became necessary to erect a new
church edifice. In this location the
church had the services of four differ
ent pastors. Rev. ]. C. Miller served
the church in the first location for sew
en- years, Rev. Geo. w. Bean for three
years, Mr.. w. E. Archibald for more
than five years, and nearly nine years
OF DR.. Glendenning's pastorate of fif-
| teen and a half years. The flood was q
! source of disbursement to the church.
| But the members were determined to
go forward with the work, and after
several conferences the desirable site
OF the present modern structure was
procured. The following composed the
| building committee: Thomas Page,
chairman. Dr. ]. 8. Glendenning, J. II.
Skinner. J. N. Stewart. ard p. W.
\ Riach.
| The cost OF the new church structure
including the lot and building, was ap-
proximately $50, 900. Even with the lib
/ eral gifts from the members OF the
1 church, it would not have been possible
TO have erected the splendid edifice had
| it not been for the generosity of one OF
j the members of the church and the
Il board OF church erection.
Il The new church structure was dedi-
Gated April 80. 1905. The dedicatory
|'sermon was preached by Dr. William

the most interesting departments of
the church is the primary department.
This department has for its superin-
tendent Mrs. Ralph Campbell. Sew
eral of the city school teachers are
teachers in this Sunday school. Many
of the organized classes have a name
under which the Organization does its
work.
Another active organization OF the
church is the Christian Endeavor So
ciety. Lonnie Shore is the president
and Miss Maud Waychof vice presi-
dent.

church. Mrs. John D. Pratt is the
president. This society gives many
socials and affords many pleasant and
profitable afternoons for the ladies' It
also holds bazaars and suppers. from
which 1t receives much revenue. Re-
Gently the society took in more than
