On Sunday, September 2, the corner stone was laid and on Sunday, November ·u, 1906, St. John's was dedicated to the service of God. Pastor Richter, in September, 1909, ~ccepted a call to Springfield, Mo. During the vacancy the parochial school, begun at Mr. Kretschmar's time and continued under Pastor Richter, was closed and, despite several attempts, could not be revived. Pastor ~...... W. G. Mueller was called to St. John's 2n January, 1910, and ·Was installed on March 6. The congregatlon prospered under his leadership and in 1911 erected the parsonage adjoining the church. Illness forced Pastor Mueller to tender his resignation and it was with genuine regret that the congregation accepted it. He left Wilmette in FebruarY, 1913, after inducing the con-· g~egation to be~ome self-supporting. Subsequently Pastor Herman W. Meyer was called, who was installed on April 13, 1913, and has since served St. John's.

Being without a Christian day school, the Sunday school and the confirmation classes wer~ the only means for bringing the Word of God to the children until 1915 a regular school for the Christian education of children was called into existE:nce. Classes were held every Monday and Friday afternoon, and all children eight years of age or over were invited tp attend. It pro\·ed a fine instit~tion from the beginning, both in a missionary and hi an educational way, so that almost all children of our church members may· and do complete a five year course in Bible and Catechism study before their confirmation. . . . Build ~ew EdHlce "In the course of time the growing congregation began to feel itself seriously hampered by lack of room and facilities for carrying on its work. The organiza..- .._ tions had no meeting place adequate to their needs, nor had the Sunday school a home. Since 1!!20 the church found itself forced to rent a hall for the use of its Sunday school, as well as for every meeting of its various organizations. 'l'he erection of a new church began to be spoken of. On April 13, 1920, a Building committee was appointed consisting of the following ge ntlemen: Conrad Schmeisstr, ~dward Aschbacher, William Heuer, and the Pastor, Herman W. l\leyer. Two members were later agded, Walter L. Edwards and Rudolph .P. Herr. On April 26, 1!.121, it was decided to purchase the 100x150 feet at the southeast corner of Park and Wilmette avenues, directly oppo::;ite the Wilmette Public Jibrary. 'l'his purchase was finally consummated. in ~larch, 1922, the price being eight' thousand five hundred dollars. On December_ 12, 1922, the Building committee was authorized to engage a firm of architects to dr;f\w up plans and specifications for a new <;;_hur_!!h. Lowe and Bollenbacher of Chicago were engaged by the committee and submitted a plan which met with the full approval of the congregation. In April, 1!.123, the contract for the erection of the church was let and on ~he 22nd of April ground was formally oroken upon the new church site. . . . "The cornerstone was laid on Sunday afternoon, July 8. On December 16, 1923 the church was dedicated to the service of God. At the same time a farewell service was held in the old church. 1 "Since th~ ~c~:;e b~~~c·~~f:s village and our church have grown. Improvements and additions have been made to the church property as the needs required and the means allowed. In U126 the new -Wangerin organ was installed, the gift of the Ladies' Aid society. At this time it is the new chancel furniture, altar, pulpit, lectern, baptismal font, communion rail, and panelling which are being added to the church. 'fhis is largely a gift of those who in tim~~ t>ast were baptized, confirmed or married in this parish. Th e charter members of the church are donating the pulpit. 'The Ladies' Aid is also making a large contribution. - "The great work of the church is, of course, of a spiritual nature. Its evidences are not as conspicuous as many another kind of worl<. But they are indeed manifest in the Jives of those who here received their spiritual training and here worshipped with us. Present indications are that b.efore Yery long St. John's will have to build for its growing Sunday school and its other activities. When the real need comes we know that the members will meet it as they have met the needs of th e past and respond wholeheartedly for the work of their church."
