D. McNeill Turner, pastor of Upper iliOng Cane church was unanimously elected pastor, with a salary of twelve hundred dol. Jars a year. This call Br. Turner accepted .and filled the office of pastor until the close of the year 186;). For several months the church was without a pastor. On .September 2, 1870, Rev. J. L. .Martin was Installed pastor. On August 27, 1884, he tendered his resignation to t>?fee effect on the 31st of October following. From that time, until the. first of January. JSS6. the congregation was without a regular preacher, when the Rev. John Lowrie "Wilson entered upon the work, to which office he has Just been installed. Any sketch of the Abbeville Presbyterian church would be notably incomplete without a notice of the "manse." | For the benefit of those of our readers who are not acquainted with the word we would say thai it means "parsonage."] The original house and lot was purchased from Dr. J. J. Wardlaw in 1S72, at $4,oU0. Last year the old building was torn away,Jand a new aud elegant structure was erected in its place, which is an oruament to the town a.id an honor to the congregation which had it built. It is perhaps the mos.t imposing parsonage in the upper part of the rttate, while their church is a comfortable brick building, and all paid .for. TIES THAT BIND. Since the withdrawal (if the Abbeville portion ol' Upper Long Cane.church, each church has hud a separate preacher, and in one re spectthey are as distinct as possible, but in ,ii 11 other, tliey are more closely allied than twin sisters. Whatever feel inn may have existed at the time of the secession of the Abbe\ville church has long since died out, and there is betweeu them an .Intimacy and a friendship which perhaps does not exist between the members ot" ahy other distinct congregations. By all the.ties that bind men together they had been united for a hundred years. They had met together all their live?, and .they and their firtners had dwelt together in harmony and unity; they worshipped the *amc Lord liy the same profession of faith and In the same sanctuary. They were ol one .flesh and one blood. They had a common ;grave yard, and the forefathers of the Abbe\ville church sleep their last sleep beside the graves of the forefathers of the Upper Long Kiine church. .Upon this sacred spot all differences of opinion are adjusted, and the tenderesLsym pat hies are ever awakened when a family of either church is atllictcd. llFTHFQnVsI HIFT TO 4TCRFVTT T V. a/UlllJJL'l/.l yj >\AXL JL JL V 1 IJUJUXil BEV.

IN LOVE AND FELLOWSHIP. &.FTER THE UNION, WHICH BINDS PASTOR AND PEOPLE HAS BEEN SOL EMNIZED, THEY SET DOWN TO BREAD AND WINE Ixiil Partake of the Most Comfortable Sacrament of our Lord and Saviour Jewus Christ. At four o'clock In the afternoon communion services were conducted by the new pastor. The middle block of pews was well filled with earnest, thoughtful communicants. The services were introduced by the singing of the hymn, "Just as I am without one plea." A few verses from the twenty-third jhaDter of Luke were read, giving account of i the institution of this .sacrament, and showing Its relation to the C'luircb under tlie gospel as taking the place of the old Jewish Passover. After prayer, and the singing of part of the 553 Hymn, "Gethsemane, ean I forget," the oread and the wine were distributed, accompanied by a few remarks from the pastor, which were substantially as follows: My Inst approach to the communion tnble was umid the tears and the heart-aches incident to the severance of the pastoral union, ries, which for many years had bound me to lonther aud dearly-beloved congregation of Sod's saints, were then in the act of sundering. All was there lore dark, all was sorrowful, To-day we meet under brighter auspices, i Hope lends its inspiration to the hour and. Lhe occasion. The union litis Just been solsin nized which now binds ns together in the j Lenderestof all human relations, the pastoral; covenant. We meet to-day at this tuble to obey that last.command of ourdying Saviour, I This do in remembrance of .Me." * > * A->uriug mo mm ... , >ne occasion to sit with one orour Southern1 familicm beside their Christmas board. Thei places were all occupied but one, and there an 1 jinpty chair leaned up against the table. Af-| ter the blessing was asked l>y (lie old man t,hat plate was up-turned, and from beneath ! it were taken a photograph of the first-born son ami a silver spoon engraven with his name. That son had fallen in defence of his country 011 the bloody field of Gettysburg; ... . ,1 l,k. h.,,1 inu II1JIV KJHIUII, U'Uiau V.I "VV..,, u?u | :)oon sent home as a remembrance of the fallen soldier. And now as these memorials i ivcie passed around the table from one to an-j >ther to receive their kisses aud benedictions,' ill was hushed. Each member of that little! ::irclc8eemed 111 deep though silent communion with tbeir dear departed one. Those tokens had had the effect of bringing him back ,o them, as it were, just as he used to be, just. i? he ever would be; and through them lie ivedngahi in their memories, and in their I iftections, the object of present and personal' ;ommunion. tso, too, by these memorials, by this .broken veaci and this poured-out wine, our blessed U-sus Ik aealn presented to our failli By ,hen? He is brougnt home to our rememjraneeand to our hearts. He stands before i* iarub us it hud bccu sluiu." These memorials are the visible tokens of His dying love, and serve to set Him belorc uh as ihe i object of our present and personal communion. We think of Him not as a dead hut as a living Saviour, a Christ that was dead but is alive again. We are assured by these evidences of His death that He lnus actually made atonement for our sins with His own blood, and therefore that there is now noi condemnation to us who are In Him* and who are trusting In His blood. They accordingly carry joy and gladness to our souls, ministering to our strength and consolatirvtl * + * ? * * Through them Christ is remembered by us to-day, just as He lias been remembered by our lathers before us, Just as He will be remembered when we are gone by the generations yet lo follow. "Illsprecious blood will never lose lis power till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more." * * My dear people, this feast is not the "marriage supper of the Lamb"?that Is reserved for the end of the Journey, after we all get home. Tills Is for our present refreshment as we journey alomr. During the war travelers looking from out the car window would read at every Nation these words above some open door?"Way-side Home." They were places prepared by the government, or by other lovIns'iiearts, for our sick and wounded soldiers. Food was there, and all such dainties as could be had, to revive and strengthen them. They were to rest and refresh themselves thefe for a season, and then with renewed strength to go on their way. By and by another, and another, and another of these "way side" retreats would cheer them, until no longer necessary because home had been reached. This, my dear brethren, is our "Way-side Home." Christ has provitted it for tbe refreshment. of His wearied and foot-sore pilrr?? 1 mo TFntia lo t A ct runnri Vidn wino it\ cheer." Here His tired flock may pause ft little mid "rest under the shade of the trees." Here His wounded soldiers may have their wounds dressed, and their fainting spirits revived. By and by these "wayside homes" will be no lomrer needed by us. For, with their purpose accomplished, our Journey ended, and ourselves home at Inst, we will sit down with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, wltb Paul, Peter and John, with martyrs and conlessors, and with the saved of till the ages at the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb."
