First
Presbyterian Church
The First Presbyterian Church of Oakland is the largest of its denomination west of the Rocky Mountains. It has a seating capacity of 1600 and a membership of 1200. The building is not only commodious and comfortable in arrangement, but also beautiful in finish and furnishings -- a variable column in color -- someone has rightly said.
Inspiring and deeply interested congregations thronged the auditorium twice a Sabbath throughout the year, is specially in the evening, and at least fifty per cent, of the attendants have been men.
These congregations have been drawn, not by sensational methods, but by the earnest eloquence of the pasture Rev. Dr. Coyle, backed by his upright christian character and life in the community. The fine music is also a helpful adjunct.
This church supports two missions, Bethany and Telegraph; both are in a flourishing condition and doing good work in their respective localities.
A Chinese school is also very efficiently carried on, thus bringing a small portion of the foreign mission work with in its own doors.
The Order of Deaconesses was instituted last year as an experiment, and the results have justified the expectations of the most sanguine. They report fifty families assisted with groceries, provisions and fuel and 462 articles of clothing were distributed; twenty classes of jelly were given out, meat and milk furnished to several families, besides medicines and sundries furnished to the sick. Over 1000 calls were made upon the sick, afflicted strangers and new members of the church.
The Board of Deacon's have extended relief to ten families and four single persons, those lightening the burden of those less fortunate.
The Treasurer of the Benevolent Fund is J. T. Gardiner.
