were served by the Rev. Jackson Webster and family. It was during this time that rumors deye.oped concerning the removal of Wran- gel Institute to Sitka. Through an aroused people letters were written and rather than the entire Insti- ute being moved to Sitka. it was voted that just the high school would be moved. Following the re- signation of the Rev. Webster. Dr.. John r. Paris served che church from June until August, when the Rev. George c. Crowel and Mrs. Growell arrived. The Crowells serv- cd the church in 1947-4S when the Rev. Crowell had to resign due 10 illness.
 Frank Brady. a layworker served the church for a year following the resignation Of the Rev. Crowen. He was followed in service by the Rev. and Mrs. Paul F. Evans. thp present pastor and his wife. who have been serving since February. 1850.
 There have been many things left unsaid about those who served the church, but if anything major has been left unsaid. it was not inten- tional. The church and it's people do appreciate those who have serv- ed in a ministerial capacity for the message they brought 10 the peo- pie. and the kindly examples that they Jeff behind. But much has d. so to be said for many layworkers and laypeOple within the church.

Part Three

The old church, built by Sheldon Jackson, was built from lumber brought to Wrangell from Shakan in old Indian war canoes.
 To an Alaskan Of later years, the idea of missionaries in the North seems somewhat odd, as one is ac- customed to associate missionary work with foreign countries, hard ships and strange peoples. With the white population of Alaska outnumbering the native, and liv- ing in Alaska on the whole as com 1ortabIe as it is outside. one takes church effort on the same basis as in the States and forgets that Alas kan churchmen are missionaries.
 When Rev 5. Hall Young tSrs1 came to Alaska 75 years ago condi- tions were far different than they are today. He tells what the differ euceS were in his autobiography. the jacket of which describes him as The Rushing Parson.p Anyone in- terested in Alaska or interested in missionary work should read the book.
 Rev. Young came here fresh out of seminary" and as most seminar lans he was green as to the ways of people and their reactions to the church. Since ne was the first mis- sionary in these parts. he thought that since there was no opportun- ity for people to come to church, all that he had to do was open the church doors and the people would jump at the opportunity. But as he wasn't that way" It is still, for the. most part that way today. Peo- pie have to be coaxed to receive the way of true happiness. He served Wrangell nine years.

First Missionary

He was the first real missionary Alaska had. he was the first Am etican missionary in the Klondike; La arrived at Nome when the first reat rush to that bonanza started; {; Lz started religious work in Fair hanks (which celebrates it's 50th anniversary on November 7th). He tuilt the Presbyterian Church in Cordoya, when copper and railroads | ad temporarily displaced gold as me mecca for the prospector and fortune hunter.
 He was known to call a spade a spade to many people, and most Of his enemies knew him for his cour- geous criticisms, even of the 6rafsing Mounties of '9S, in Daw- son.
 The outstanding missionaries of alaska have been Father Duncan, Dr. s. Hall Young, Bishop Rowe, to name a few. Of these, 5. Hall Young has predominantly affected the growth and development of Thlingets and Tsimpshians as we'll as many white men with whom he came in contact Leaving the ques- tion of the value of missionary work undecided as an abstract question, one must admit that in Alaska the effort has born fruit.
 The early history of the found- ing of the First Presbyterian Church and Of the people who worked here at that time is record ed in the brief historical data re- corded in the minutes of Alaska Presbytery in the handwriting of Sheldon Jackson and Dr. S. Hall Young. pr. Allan Mckay and the Rev. Clarence Thwing, who served 18SS-1S99 respectively. took great care in recording the dates of birth. baptism, marriage and death. These are at present all intact and in fine Spencerian script.

Pederson Family

The Russell Pederson family also served the church for two terms of service from 1850 To 1940. One or the many accomplishments of the Pedersons was the beginning of re- ligious services at Mrangell lnsti- ute on June l, 1880. These serv- ices of religious education and in- struction are still being carried on af nresent. but now in conjunction with h e Episcopal. Salvation Army and Roman Catholic church e. l. was during the Pedersons. stay in Wrangell that the Presby- terian Church burned to h e ground a total loss. including even the old church bell. The fire occur red Oct. IT. 1880, but to show the ;, ingenuity and the fact that the Ipeople had a mind to work, the present church was erected before | ithe first anniversary of the fire .ould be thought of. On Oct. 4, lig3l, the present church building was erected and used as place Of worship. Later on, on Oct. 21, 1884, the fragments of the old bell were cast and the dedication and placement of the new bell took place. The Pedersons are now at Mt Tabor Presbyterian Church in Portland, Oregon, and are respon- sible for the neon cross atop the church.
 In 1940-1942 the Rev. N. Harry Champhn served the local congre- gation. The Rev. and Mrs. Champ lin will be with us for part of the anniversary week. They will be at tending the 5Oth anniversary of the First Presbyterian Church in Fairbanks, where they served fol- lowing resigning here. The Rev. Champlin is now at the First Presbyterian Church of Centralia, Washington.
 Later Years
 The term of 1942-1945 was filled in by the Rev. Ben Judd who is Ow serving the Presbyterian Church in Mt. Vernon. Ohio. He was followed by Layworker John Thompson from May to September of 1945.

 the church membership was in creased to "I17 souls April 3, 1908 is the last record of his mod aratIng the session of the church. Due 10 some internal trouble and external excitement the local Pres 0yterian Church was divided. The Rev. Corser resigned and many peo- pie who were in sympathy with his poInt Of view followed him and formed what was known as "The Peoples Church" 1t was in 1905. after consultation and arrange ments made by Bishop Rowe that .'Ths PeOp.e's Church became und- CT jurisdiction of the Episcopal Diocese oI Alaska and was later known by the name it bears at pre- sent, St. Philips Episcopal Church. IL might be said then. that the lo- cal Sl Philips is a daughter of the First Presbyterian Church.
 4 record is made in the church records that by direction of the Board Of Home Missions of the Presbyterian Church, |. s. A.. Mrs. C. A. Miller and l came to Wran- gell. Alaska. arriving here Satur- day evening Sept. ,, 1903. for the purpose of taking charge of the Presbyterian Church in this place" Not too long thereafter a notation Is made of his retirement and dated April r. 1904.
 Rev Kirk
 The Rev. James W. Kirk came to WrangelI aS pastor of the local con- .gregation June 30, 19O4. and for two years served the local church Since no Elders were active. he or iained five to serve the needs of the local church people. It was during this time that Mrs. Tfne Paul Tamaree was received on a letter of transfer from First Church in Sitka where she served 3s a lay worker. Later on she served Rake Petersburg. Angoon and other towns in Southeastern Alaska.
 The church at this time was not too strong due to the short terms of the missionaries serving it. 4 great surge in church membership and program was the highlight of the years of the Rev. J. s. Clark He served the church from 1906 to 1920. In 1910. June of that year, the Rev. Clark and a number of people went to Petersburg on in yitation from the people of Pet ersburg and the Presbytery of Al aska.' Three weeks were spent on personal work and organizing 9 church and Sunday School. In the short time of three weeks. the Sun day School had 4S members and was meeting regularly. and in ad- dition the church basement was poured and the people were hoping and praying for a minister to lead them.
 Another long term of service was given to the church by Dr. and Mrs. R. ]. Diyen. They served the local church for two terms or ms sion service from 1921 to 1880. It was under Dr. Diyen's leadership and supervision that the present Presbyterian manse was built It is recorded in the historical minutes of session that the first meeting held in the manse was a meeting of the church session on Feb. 9. 1922. Dr. and Mrs Diyen are still living and are the oldest living missionaries of our church. They reside at 323S s. E. Woodward in Portland, Oregon. Many of the church people will remember that Dr. and Mrs. Diyen recently cele- brated their 6Oth wedding anniver- sary and Mrs. Diven's S9th birth day
