The Second Presbyterian Church, now a large and influential congregation, was formed from the First, twenty-eight members having been dismissed by her for that purpose, in December, 1853. She also contributed largely to the membership of other churches - notably to Grace Presbyterian Church, in North Peoria. The total of the member- ship of the First Church, from its origin, is 850. Some noted revival sea.sons have been experienced by this church. During the pastorate of Mr. Morrow, uj)\vards of one hundred members were received, during one season, upon profession of their faith ; and again, during the pastorate of Dr. Edwards, when upwards of forty more were received.
