Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

After Emmanuel Church in Garrett, the second occurred in 1916, when the Rev. Hobart L. Marvin of Garrett and George Arnold, a lay reader, attempted to form a congregation in the county seat of Auburn. In October 1916, Bishop White placed Marvin as priest-in-charge of the mission, called St. Elizabeth's. The effort floundered, however, and in 1920 the mission was reorganized under Duncan Weeks of Goshen. His efforts also failed, and the project was abandoned. No attempt has been made to found a church in Auburn since that time. Churches were also attempted in Garrett and Butler, but both were short-lived.
