Rev. Thomas Boyd was pastor emeritus of the First Presbyterian Church of Fresno City. He was pastor of the church for fourteen years, and during his pastorate it was that the church was built and the number of communicants more than doubled from the time that he answered the call.
Before his coming, the congregation worshipped in an
assembly hall on Merced Street, opposite the Masonic Temple. He resigned about three years before his death, at the age of seventy.

"One cause, perhaps the greatest, is this: Enormous wealth in the hands of a few—produced by the hands of toil. The government at Washington was being controlled in the interests of a comparative few…In their maddened rage for wealth they were prostituting the machinery of government for private ends. What is the meaning of this great revolution through which we are passing? It is a protest against the rich becoming richer at the expense of the common people. The people have risen up and swept the decks. The few were getting enormously rich at the expense of the common people…Wealth is going into the hands of the rich, and the men who made possible the great accumulations of the rich have only a dog’s portion thrown them.?
