Arid before i . " x begin I will state that my only obt ' jects are, firs?, to disabuse the minds ' of**Uuipn^aad evidently many others who seem ignorant of what Union Charch is^becond,- to-do justice to ; the "builders and supporters ot said fm cburcb, many ol wham are gone to - tueir resting place. ' Union Church is as widely known m a : 'as auy country church in Fairfield I County, and was almost as much so r prior to 1888 as now. It was built in 1856 and,dedicated in August of said year Rey. Henry Neil D. D. preached the dedication sermond, followed, bv Revs. James Furraan D. D. and R. R. Vann; and while there were several other ministers of the gospel present, yet there was, as far as memory goes, not a Presbyterian minister present, nor have they, prior to 1887, ever taken an active interest in it. The building was built by contributions from different denominations and dedicated a union church, and has never been anything else, and is not likely to trer be. Kev. Mr. Mc Graw, a Christian gentleman, did, by invi iauon, preacn mere a lew times. From the grand and glorious day of its dedication it has been famous for it* large and attentive congregations. The Methodist and Baptist simultaneously beid services continuously until iho civil war interrupted tt>em, as did nil other churches, and did a if<?od work verv broad and lasting? luariv of our best and oldest. citizens having been led into the told of God at ?-?id place. Alter the war, Union was a station included in the Fairfield Circuit, and U'H>I tlinnliBfl fin* ? miinKai1 nf vauN hv* -._rr..?V* .V, v. NU.1.VVI VI the circuit riders on said circuit. In the meantime several Baptist ministers preached there, and Kev.* E. S. Lupo and others conducted Sabbath School there, using only Union literature. During Rev. Marion Boyd's term on the circuit, Union was suspended trom the circuit, and the Methodist centred their effort* on Greeubriar and sue ceeded in doing a glorious work there. After said suspension the best schools we have ever ha>l were taught there in the rear end <?t the building, by Mcwrs. S. X. True and D. F. Corley, respectively, the latter preached there occasionally_and made repeated efforts to carry on a Sundav School, and did tTiUch good. From 1875 until 1883 there were very tew pablic servjce* held there, in 1884: llev. T. W. Mellichamp began holding regular services and continued until 1887, during which time there were a Sunday "School and a circle of prayer organized. The former did not continue long, but the latter was conducive of much i*ood. an>l Dlante.l seed which God subsequently * germinated and caused an abundant harvest to be ready lor maturity 5.n the Y. M. C. A., organized by Rev. H. B. Garris in June, 1888. In 1887 Rev. H. B. Garris, the first Presbyterian minister who ev?r took an active interest in Union began preaching for us, and ha? doue a glorious work. During his sninistrations, he organized said; Y. M. C. A., which struggled for existance until the ladies organized an auxiliary society, and by different means raised funds which were used in replacing the old doors and seats with new ones, and ranking many other changes and additions much to the improvement of the building. The old door bhutters were sold at public auction, but the window shutters that were put on when the house ????* ...tn i :? was> uuui are ?un uaii?tii? auu ate in a very good stale of preservation. Before the Y. M. C. A. repaired the root a few flying squirrels had taken up their abode behind the ceiling, but are long since extinct. After the Y. M. C. A. and the Lidies' Auxiliary Society, composed ot all denominations, had made tbe building complete and done much cnii-ihml r?nnrl the Prochvfprians organized a chnrch in the Union building, which has grown miraculously and is doing great good throughout thecommunitwbut has seriously crippled other orgauized churches. Now as to the originator of the church, I know not, but Rev. H, B. Garris has always been regarded the originator of the Y. Ml C. A. and the zeal and activity of many has been so unrelenting in its perpetuation that I think it would be -presumptions for any one to claim or regard the least individual pre-eininance. Oh Union! my joy, Hiy home, my mother; Lon>? may you iu harmony remain, Ever rejiardme your neighbor your brother, And thus move 011 humanity's plane. May Christ your example ever be In practicing humility and love; Following ^he path that -He has tread, And be jjathered unto Him above.

Willi mean vi unc nuv uas tviiiu to stay. Somtimes he proves "a blessing in disguise" as the sequel to my story weil show. My Aunt has long had a strong and outspoken aversion to these modest missionaries who retaliate by sending every new and verdant canvasser to her house. Last week the familiar Machine wagon hatted at her door, not seeking a customer however, for the gentlemanly agent only begged to leave his machine until Jus broken wagon could be repaired Womanly curiosity prompted her to examine rhe machine m his absence, and the merits of the "New High Arm Davis'- did the rest. She was pleased, and, on the agent's return, begged him to exhibit the machine. Would he sell it:" Xo it was already sold and wonld have been delivered but for the broken wagon. (?) He could, however, if she wished, brinv her another one lust like it.*' "No. indeed! She must have this identical machine,-* and so the poor fellow was obliged to leave the machine and receive the money for it. He won his wager of $10," but my aunt is so thoroughly pleased with her matchless "Davis yiachine" and so happy in its possession that she freely forgives the ; aeception.
