And yet--their courage undaunted-- gave Thanks for it all.

The sacred old building is "For Sale." A sign of a wellknown north shore real estate firm is displayed at the entrance door, beneath a towering steeple reaching to a height of 125 feet and which, throughout all these years, has been a familiar landmark to all who travel that way. The pews are gone and, likewise, the belfry is vacant, the huge bell, whose peals for so many years were musical tones, wafted for miles and miles to the early settlers of that pioneer sec- tion of the great north shore and Chi- cago area. The bell still rings out on Sunday mornings, but now, from the Austin Boulevard Evangelical church, whence it was removed sometime ago. Church Awaits Buyers But, the old church, itself, awaits a buyer, one, perhaps, who will raze it to the ground, heedless of the cher- ished memories associated with its life and service to the surrounding com- munity. These, not even time can ef face. Nor will those whose lives have been most closely affiliated with the edifice ever forget the work of the master hand who gave to the church its sanc- tuary. Dimmed and dull though it now is with age, back of the pulpit stands out in striking form the splen- did oil painting of a huge bible, from which rays of light radiate. Above it the artist painted a huge golden crown; to the left, a shock of ripened grain on which the sickle now rests, while on the other side is shown, in appro- priate coloring, the vine and clusters of ripened fruit. These, too, must go. Today they are only a part of the "old church." Link in History But, when it goes, there will have been only one of four links in a chain of church history of this community, extending back in the dim past not fifty, but almost one hundred years. The first church of the Evangelical association, a log cabin affair, with plain board seats, was built ninety- three years ago, on the north side of Dundee road, up the incline east of Saunders road, between Freeman's nursery and Northfield cemetery. Ten years later, a larger and, for that day, a more modern church was built by this society at the northwest corner of Dundee and Saunders roads, following which, forty-seven years ago, the fine old edifice, soon to be torn down, was built on the corner di- rectly south. Today, the Evangelical association's church home, a modern but much less pretentious building than the high steepled landmark of an early day, stands on the northeast corner of the same intersecting highways. Pioneer Tells of Earlier Days : Mrs. Leanna A. Wessling, a life- long resident of this vicinity, relates that even before the building of the first log cabin church on Dundee road, services were held in the log cabin home of her father, the late Daniel Stanger, then located near dam No. 1, on the Des Plaines river. Mr. Stan- ger settled here in 1834, having walked the entire distance from his native Warren, Pa.
