GOLDEN JUBILEE
First Congregational Greeted
by Pastors of the City on
Fiftieth Anniversary.
HISTORICAL SKETCH GIVEN
BY w. L. Cliff, CLERK
Celebration to Continue Tonight and
Tomorrow Night and Come to a
Close Sunday.

With the auditorium decorated with
palms and ferns, chrysanthemums and
autumn leaves, converting the church
into a bower, the celebration of the
tiftieth anniversary of the founding
of the First Congregational Church,
10th and G streets northwest, was be-
gun last night, a large attendance of
members and friends of the church
being present.
The evening was one of "reminiscences
and greeting. Following historical
sketch of the church for the past fifty
years, delivered by w. L. Cliff, for
many years church clerk, greetings
from sister and neighboring churches
were brought by their pastors. and a
letter of congratulation from Commits
sioner Louis Brownlow was read.
The first endeavor to found the
church was in 1S47, declared Mr.. Cliff,
in his history of the church. The pro-
city arrayed against Them said the
speaker. They were an anti-slavery
church-more than that, an abolition
church-and the Washington of 194S
was completely dominated by southern
influence. 50 the little church grad
ually dissolved. abandoning the build
ing it had erected on the site of the
present Jewish synagogue on Sth
street.
The second attempt began five years
later, in 1852, in the old Trinity Episcopal
Church, afterward the Columbian Law
School, on 5th street. But after struS-
Cling along for six years, this little
church died. too. No department clerk
dared to join an anti-savery church for
fear of losing his position.
THE third attempt was instituted dur
ing the civil war by W. R. Hooper, who
in 1864 hired small hall on 9th street,
secured a preacher from the Christian
Commission (Which was administ ering to
the spiritual wants of the army and
gathered a small band of loyal Congre-
gatonalists. who stood by the church
through all the trying scenes that were
before them.
