Interest of the afternoon
were not present in time to ta?e
their part on the program. The in o-
cation was by Rev. J.K. E.Craighe'-d,
and the sermon by Rev. F. VV Hawley
of Oklahoma City. That gentleman
preached a powerful j-ermon that was
a strong appeal for more and better
Christian service, even at the cos»
of some sacrifice. The world is what
is is today by reason of the sacrifice
of human blood and animal life ;
vegetable and mineral wealth have
also been sacrificed for the public
dedication. The building was 36x36
with choir alcove, and seated^ 230
persons. Rev. J. R E. Craighead was
the resident pastor at that time The
church records show a gradual in-
crease in membership, the last report
April, 1905, showing 209 members.
The first elders were Dr. L S. Skelton
and Geo. L Lage, and meetings were
held every two weeks, the pulpit
being supplied by pastors from Ponca
and Newkirk. Reverend Craighead
resigned in September, 1903, and Rev
Thos. F. Barrier of Emporia. Kansas,
was called by the church to succeed
him, his minis'ry beginning in the I
early Winter of 1J03 Work had been
started during the pastorale of Rev !
Craighead, to accumulate for :i new j
church, and Rev. Barrier took up
that work, and with the abie assist-
ance of the congregation, persevered
until the dream was realized. The
frame church was torn down la t
Summer, and it was hoped that the
new church would be ready for dedi-

and a solo by M. A. Ashbrook, was
fully up to the standard set by the
other services. The scripture lesson
was read by Rev. Snook, the prayer
was by Rev Hawley, and the sermon
hy Rev D. Luther Edwards of Ponca
City, and It was indeed a scholarly
p.oduction on the building of the

zeal. Reverend Hawley is a forceful
speaker, and entirely won and pleased
his large audience The solo by Miss
Juanita Sponenbarger was heartily
enjoyed, as was all of the singing of
the Presbyterian cho r, with Mrs
Vanskike for leader.

The First Presbyterian church of
th:s city was organ zed May 10, 1890.
by Territorial Missionary John
Moidy and Rev. John Aughey of Mu'-
hall, Okla., with 16 ttcmb rs They
met for a time in the Methodist
church, the school house and taber-
ra tie, but in the fall of 1898, decided
to l ave a building of their own, and
secured and moved here a church
building, from Arkansas City. The
corner stone was laid Thanksgiving
Day, 1898, and the dedication t«o<
place January 1st, 1899 ; Rev. F W.
Hawley of Oklahoma City, was pres-
ent and som#250 was raised at the | the community.
it was dedicated The church as it
now stands cost close to $7,500.00, and
will cost probably #500 additional to
complete the basement, etc. The
funds have been accumulating for
years ; pennies by the children for
the brick fund ; the Sunday School,
Young People’s, Ladies’ Aid, Sewirtg
Circle, and finally subscriptions by
members and friends, together wi,h
the handsome collection and sib
scription of last Sunday has enabl- d
them to occupy their new building
practically debt-free. The plans for
the building are the result of ideas
of Rev. Barrier and members of the
committees, worked out by contrac-
tor H, E. Martin and Ise Strub e.
The contract was awardtd to Mr.
Martin, and everyone will testify as
to the laithfulnees with which the
work has been performed.
The building is of brick and stone,
with basement under all of it. It is
40x45, with choir alcove 10x18, ana
pastor’s study, 10x11 ; a lecture room
on the east oan be shut off from the
auditorium If de-ired, and It is 15x25.
The seating capacity, approximately
is 500 people, and tne church is one
of the substantial buildings of the
city, and in every way a credit to
