The old lady shook hands with
President Woodrow Wilson at q
Central Presbyterian Church re-
ception and moved on. She wasn't
satisfied and hurried to the end OF
the slowly moving line. Once again
her turn came. The President, smil-
ing, shook hands, saying, "Glad to
see you-again."
The incident was characteristic
of President Wilson's cordial rela-
tionship with members of the
church he attended the first Sunday
of his administration, March 8,
1918. A month later he wrote the
Rev. DR.. James H. Taylor, pastor,
saying he and his family would like
to become identified with the con-
gregation. From then until his
death in 1924 he was loyal member
and regular attendant at services.
There are many reminders of Mr..
Wilson in the church today. In the
foyer is plaque commemorating his
placing of the cornerstone of the
present building in December, 1918.
The plaque was unveiled by Presi-
dent Coolidge on January Is, 1925.
Mr.. Coolidge, who sat in Mr.. Will
sons pew in the third row center,
came to the platform that day
upon the invitation of DR.. Taylor,
took the American flag from the
plaque, read the inscription to the
congregation and walked back to his
seat without uttering another word
Wilson's Pew.
The Wilson pew Is still in its place,
marked by simple silver plate with
his name and period of worship
there, March, 1918 to February, 1924.
The Woodrow Wilson memorial
room on the second floor of the Sun
day school building is used by the
session for meetings. Over the Sc
overlooking fireplace is set paint
ing of Mr.. Wilson during the DAYS
OF his presidency. On one side is q

Colidge leaving the church, and

veiled plaque. On the other side is
framed the address Mr.. Wilson made
on the occasion when he laid the
cornerstone Of the present church.

Church Organized.
Seventy-f1ve years Of the church
pastorate were divided by the Rev.
Mr.. Pitzer and DR.. Taylor. The lat
ter served from 1906 to 1943, becom-
ing pastor emeritus at that time.
The Rev. Mr.. Pitzer first came on
January 10, 1868. at the invitation of
IL persons planning public worship
in their creed. The meeting was
held in, room in the Columbian
Law Building on Fifth street NV,
near D street. In May of that year
20 persons, including the Rev. Mr..
Pitzer. organized the Central Pres
byterian Church.
The group purchased a lot at the
corner OF Third and I streets NV,
on December /, 1871. Five years
later, January 4, 1873, the chapel
was completed, and two years after.
on December 6. 1885, the main
building was dedicated.
The present site at Sixteenth and
Irving streets NV. was secured in
1918 and the cornerstone, as above
noted, was laid in December that
year. The building was occupied in
February, 1914, with the dedication
being held in May. The adjoining
Sunday school building cornerstone
was laid by President Hoover
Thanksgiving Day, 1890.
