NASHVILLE, Tenn.--The "Evening Banner," of this city, contained the following January 9th: "The First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, on Summer street, has done a great work for Nashville. Every house the Cumberland Presbyterians own in the city has been built since 1872. The old church has been the instrument, directly or indirectly, of building the seven other churches of the city. Within the last five years Grace Church, in South Nashville, was organized by releasing by letter 100 members from the First Church at one time, and others have gone every year since. Within the last fourteen months the West End Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized by Rev. I. D. Steele, taking about seventy-five more members from the old church. Some of them were most liberal contributors to the First Church. Notwithstanding all this giving out and building, the old church paid its pastor every dollar due him the last day of the year. The bills unpaid are less than $200, with unpaid subscriptions enough on good people to easily pay it. This has been done without a single call before the congregation for extra subscriptions." Three accessions to the First Edgefield Church and six to the Arlington [sic: Arrington] street church last Sunday. Rev. J. H. Miller, state missionary, preached on State work at the First Edgefield Church January 10, speaking on the same general theme at the Cumberland Presbyterian Union in the afternoon, and at the Addison Avenue Church at night, and in each case to the delight and edification of his hearers--deeper and more substantial interest in State work being the certain result.

FIRST CHURCH, Nashville, Tenn.--The published financial report and directory of the First Church, of which Rev. I. D. Steele is pastor, contains the names of four hundred members, 350 of whom are resident--this large membership in spite of the fact that two other congregations have been organized almost wholly from this church within the last few years, and in spite of the fact that there are now eight Cumberland Presbyterian Churches in this city. The official board contains ten ruling elders and seven deacons. P. H. Manlove is clerk of session. The officers' committees are organized on finance, house of worship, general benevolence, music, Lord's supper, church societies, Sabbath school, pulpit supply, and ushers. The receipts for the year aggregate $4,530.35, raised and expended as follows: General expenses, $3,391.35; education, $50.00; foreign missions, $35.00; home missions, $40.00, ministerial relief, $25.00, Christian Endeavor for Missions, $25.00; Sabbath school, $125.00; Ladies' Aid Society, $194.00; Ladies' Educational Circle, $80.00; Ladies' Missionary Society, $40.00; Young Ladies' Missionary Society, $75.00; Children's Day collection, $20.00; charity fund, $20.00; city missions, $300.00; evangelistic services, $110.00. This church has since its report lost by death eleven members, among the dead being the following who are widely known throughout the denomination: Jefferson Page, John C. Gaut, Dr. T. C. Blake, Mrs. S. E. Brewer, Mrs. R. R. Freeman, John D. Wilson.

FIRST CHURCH, Nashville, Tenn.--Rev. I. D. Steele, pastor, reports that this congregation has closed a very successful year's work. Eight members were added in December. The church has been completely renovated, the auditorium beautifully frescoed, the outside painted and pointed. The house is now one of the most beautiful to be found anywhere. The congregation is free from debt, in perfect peace and working well. The members are much rejoiced over the year's work. John H. DeWitt, a son of Dr. M. B. DeWitt, was recently elected deacon of the church.

The history of our First church here may be said to cover the growth of our denomination in the city of Nashville. After the war swept over the country, a meeting was held the latter part of 1865 to consider reorganizing the church. There were seventeen persons present. At the next meeting there were twenty-seven. Dr. A. J. Baird was called as pastor, and the church was reorganized. The church began work with about twenty-eight members. The city grew rapidly as did the church. The right man was in the right place. In four years the old house proved to be too small. In 1873 it was torn away and the present magnificent structure erected. The church was blessed with a great growth, the membership running up to six or seven hundred.

In 1874 Russell Street Church, of which Rev. R. W. Binkley is now the pastor, was built. I think it had its beginning over a store. Dr. Baird and his whole choir went over and dedicated the new house. In 1882 Watkins Park Church was organized out of members from the First Church. Both of these churches have done a great work. In 1883 Dr. J. P. Sprowls became pastor. Under his ministry a mission was organized in South Nashville, the nucleus of Grace Church; a chapel to the old church was built also. In 1886 Rev. J. M. Hubbert took the First Church pastorate. In February, 1891, the pastor and session organized Grace Church, with about a hundred members, most of them from the old church. This new church took from the First Church a part of the session and Sabbath school, and every officer and the chairman of every committee in the Christian Endeavor Society. The mother did the graceful thing by giving her daughter Grace about six thousand dollars to go to housekeeping on, three members giving thirty-six hundred of it. In 1893 the writer became pastor. In the same year the city of Nashville had the worst financial panic ever known in its history. The old church successfully met the waves of financial adversity. In 1895 some members of the First Church and its pastor, assisted by Rev. F. P. Flaniken, held a revival meeting in West Nashville (Newtown), which resulted, June 18, in organizing a church of twenty-two members. A lot was secured and a church house built within three months. The old mother church stood by this child for two years, to keep it from being run over, or sold at auction. It now has a house finished, free from debt, about seventy members, and a hundred and twenty in the Sabbath school. Rev. Wm. Howe is the good pastor. At the close of the year 1895 the old church and its pastor organized the Addison Avenue (West End) congregation. This swarm took sixty members, fifty-five Sabbath school pupils and seven teachers from the old church. After the old mother sent out her last child to keep house, she bestirred herself, put in new blood and developed some new workers, cleaned and frescoed her own home, and made it most beautiful; and paid for it before she opened the doors for the first service. She paid all her debts last year without taking a dollar of subscription. It is gratifying to think of the great influence of the old church has exerted since the day Grace Church was organized, not to speak of the earlier work. Grace has grown to 451 members, West Nashville to 70, Addison Avenue 130, and the old church has 390 members left, having had a healthy gain last year. This makes 1,040 members to set against the 540 before Grace went out. Instead of one man preaching there are four preaching twice every Sabbath. Through the aid of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. W. Allen, members of the First Church, Watkins Park has been able to have the gospel constantly preached. If we count Russell Street, Arrington Street and Endeavor churches as influences directly or indirectly from the old mother, we have something of the history of her city work. Can any three churches in our denomination show such a record? All this work has been done from first to last by the hardest work, great sacrifice, great trials, many tears, but in great faith and with resulting sweet joy.

First Church, Nashville, Tenn.
Ruling Elder John H. DeWitt, clerk of session, writes: "This venerable congregation is enjoying a rejuvenation. A year ago the church owed a floating debt of $1,150. The membership was demoralized by the lack of a pastor for the preceding six months. In January, 1900, Rev. E. E. Ingram came as pulpit supply for the ensuing six months. His preaching was immediately acceptable to the people. He took vigorous hold of the problems of the congregation. Four aggressive deacons were ordained. In February Mr. Ingram was unanimously called to the permanent pastorate. The officers responded loyally to his appeal for work, and the members improved in their attention to church duties. The Sunday school attendance increased, and weekly teachers' meetings, led by Rev. John A. McKamy, were begun. Early in the autumn a determined effort was inaugurated to close the year free from debt. The result was remarkably successful. The congregation gave more liberally than for years. Every dollar of the old debt was paid, every expense for 1900 was met, and there is now about $250 in the treasury. The total amount raised during 1900 was $4,423.34, in addition to several hundred dollars contributed for other purposes. The members are now giving systematically, and it is hoped that this year will show much improvement in the offerings for the special enterprises of the church. The pastor and the session are planning for a revival at an early date. This improved financial and spiritual condition has stimulated unusual enthusiasm among the congregation." To the foregoing Mrs. Novella Marks adds in a note to the editors: The second year of the pastorate of Rev. E. E. Ingram of the First Church of Nashville, is starting off most encouragingly. Increasing congregations listen with deep interest to his earnest sermons, characterized by freshness and vigor of thought coupled with unusual power of analysis. The first Sunday of the new year was a precious day. Our venerable and beloved brother, M. B. DeWitt, D.D., was present and made the prayer of consecration for the communion as only he can. It was at once a sermon and a benediction and sent a peculiar thrill of joy and sadness to the hearts of all, and we came away feeling it was good to be there.

First Church, Nashville, Tenn.--From the Nashville American the following paragraph is taken: Rev. E. E. Ingram, pastor of the Fist Cumberland Presbyterian Church, has had an artistic "weekly offering calendar" printed and has distributed them among the members of his congregation. The calendar has a half-tone picture of the church and pastor, and quotations on Christian giving, its motto being "Something from every member every week with religious regularity." Accompanying the calendar is a coupon book, with a blank space for each Sunday in the year.

The first Cumberland Presbyterian sermon in Nashville was preached by Rev. Robert Donnell in 1813. He had obtained from the mayor the privilege of holding a series of services in the court house. A few sermons only having been delivered the doors of the court house were closed against him by order of the mayor, at the instance of Rev. Thomas Craighead, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of the city. Subsequently Rev. Robert Donnell, aided by Rev. James Porter, held a precious revival meeting in the old market house, then deserted, near Broad street. Many persons were converted and some of the most eminent citizens became interested. Among those who professed conversion on that occasion may be mentioned Mrs. William McKay, of the McKay Church, near Franklin, Tenn., and Mrs. Nancy Dortch, of this city. Both of these good women have passed away from their earthly to their heavenly home. Mrs. Dortch was the mother of Mr. Nat. F. Dortch, recently deceased.

My first visit to Nashville was in 1839. A church had been organized out of the fruits of the great revival held by Donnell and Porter. A church house had been built, and Rev. James ("Scotchman") Smith was serving as pastor. Smith was editor of a paper at the time. He also did much evangelistic work and was a very successful preacher at the great camp meetings of those days. He had a discourse known as "The Brick-Kiln Sermon," which he often preached. Under this sermon at a certain camp meeting, it is said, a hundred persons were led to turn from sin to Christ. Among these was a very wealthy infidel who became a pious church member and reared a very consecrated family of children. One of his sons became a very efficient preacher of the gospel.

My second visit to Nashville was in the year 1846. Rev. John L. Smith was then pastor of the church. I attended the service on Sunday. The congregation was very small. The Sunday school did not number more than twenty-five or thirty. Smith, however, was an able preacher, especially at the great camp meetings of that day.

The day of small things is not to be despised. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Nashville had a struggle for existence for many years, though it was served by some of the ablest men of our denomination or any other, such men as those already named together with S. G. Burney, J. C. Provine, M. H. Bone and Wiley M. Reed. Just before the great Civil War the church had so grown in strength and numbers that it was deemed proper to undertake mission work in other parts of the city. A second Cumberland Presbyterian church was organized in South Nashville. Rev. A. G. Goodlett was pastor. He built what is now known as the Elm Street Methodist Church. Soon the war began. Both congregations were great sufferers. Rev. W. M. Reed, pastor of the First Church, was killed in battle; and Rev. A. G. Goodlett, pastor of the Second Church, died of cholera the year after the war.

A heavy debt was hanging over the Second Church at the time of the death of its pastor, and the church finally had to be sold. The debts were paid, and a new church organized in East Nashville, now known as Russell Street, was begun. From this organization two others have been formed--Arrington Street and Buena Vista churches.

In the winter of 1866 Dr. A. J. Baird visited Nashville. He found only sixteen member of the First Church living. He was called and became their pastor. His work was wonderfully blessed. He died in 1882, having served sixteen years. He left the church with a membership of six hundred and over, and one of the handsomest church buildings in Nashville.

Since his death four other churches have been organized out of this the "mother church"--Watkins Park, Grace, Addison Avenue and West Nashville.

The Ninth Church has been organized but recently, so we now have nine churches in the city with a membership of 2,000 and a Sunday school membership of 2,000.

The First Church of Nashville, Tenn., on the front page of this issue, was organized in the early history of the denomination. Few churches in Middle Tennessee have wielded the influence carried by this church. As Nashville grew the membership increased and its great power became felt more and more. Shortly after the Civil War, and while under the pastorate of Dr. W. B. [sic: A. J.] Baird, it became one of the largest memberships in the city. The congregation was housed in a large and commodious brick structure containing every equipage afforded by the times. It was the only Cumberland Presbyterian church in Nashville for a number of years. Its superb choir and costly pipe organ rendered music that delighted thousands now gone.

As time went on, large groups of members living in widely separated portions of Nashville organized separate churches of their own, somewhat reducing its membership. However, it maintained its place among the greater churches of Nashville, irrespective of denomination.

About twenty-five years ago the city condemned the building for the purpose of opening a new street. The membership then purchased the present site on the corner of Ninth and McGavock streets, where they have worshiped since that time. The congregation gradually increased until it became necessary for larger and better quarters. Recently about $20,000 has been expended upon it, making it ample in room and modern facilities, as well as a church of beauty and refinement in architecture. It is of Spanish design, being brick and stucco. The improvements were made under the direction of Elders Phil W. Duke and Lurton Goodpasture. With its new equipment it is expected to resume its place as one of the leading pulpits of Nashville. Rev. L. L. Thomas is the pastor.
