. AT LOWER LONG CANE
(Continued From Page One)
been members of the church for more
than a century, worthy descendants al
of them of a Godly people who made
a community fit to live in. Like their
ancestors they live at home, at peace
with their neighbors, love God and
keep His commandments. In a little
while the Messenger of the Maker
came, and soon the Sabbath School
was under way. Col. Roche sat in the
Bible class, or nearx enough to "hear
Rev. Mr. Bradley teach this class,
and he was much impressed with it,
as he said the preacher asked all the
questions and then answered them,
and the "scholars" had nothing to do
but listen. '
After the Sabbath School, presided
over by Mr. W. H."Kennedy, was
dismissed, the preaching began. We
noticed that while the psalms were
sung by what was called the choir,
they were really sung by the congregation,
all of those who could sing
gathering on the front seats, the organ
sitting in front being played by ;
Mrs. Bradley, the wife of the minis-j
ter. In the choir.were the Morrahs,'|
the Wardlaws, the Widemans, includ-!|
ing Boyce Wideman who sings with j
a fine tenor voice, the Cowans, des- ].
cendants of Samuel Jordan, the Wat-j!
kins, the Youngs and others. They J
sing the psalms as they should be sung ]
and one feels in the old church as |'
they are sung and as the preacher I
reads and prays that he is in the I
\ | j
Temple of the Master. j
The preacher read the psalms be- j
fore they were sung, and then told |
the congregation to sing them j
"straight through," which reminded j
us of a story told by Gen. Hemphill j
in his lifetimte. It was to the effject j
that one ol the old ministers 01 xne:
church in the long ago arrived at his'
church, went into the pulpit and
found that he was too full of good
corn liquor to commence the preaching
at once. So he got up and "told
the singing master" to sing the ^lDth
psalm and "sing it straight through." |
When the singing was over he was
ready to proceed. However, that does:
not hold now at Lower Long Cane:
because these are dry times. The
scriptures were read in a reverential
and impressive manner, and after another
psalm had been sung prayer
was offered by-the pastor, and it car-i
ried us back to the times when we
heard Dr. Lathan and Dr. William L.1
Pressly pray at Due West. There was'
nothing of the modern petition^ norj
style, but an atmosphere of deep
piety in it all.
The text was taken from the second
chepter of Titus, 5th verse, and it
was a powerful argument the preacher
advanced against woman suffrage.'
It is not our purpose to tell what he'
said, as he has kindly allowed us the'
use of his manuscript and, it is our
purpose to publish the sermon in'
either Wednesday's or Friday's issue, I
and those who did not hear the ser-j
j -i- ?:j.u m
iiiuii may ret&u it yyiui piuui uu tug|,
next Sabbath.
We noticed another thing. The
people at Lower Long Cane, as they I
do at most churches in the country,
still take the ^mall children to church.
The little fellows are taught early
that it is the place to go on the Sabbath
day. They grow tired to be true,
and when they do, they get up and
walk up and down the aisles until
they are refreshed, or they go out to j
the front of the church, sometimes
the mother goes along and listens !
fa +via kalan/ta ftf q !
Xi V/iii inC- xcai tv uoxauv^ ux t"v- ,
sermon, and sometimes a larger,
brother or sister goes along with the
little fellows, but always quietly. The j
coming and going does no?' disturbthe
preacher, because it is a part ofj
the service, and everybody, we think, j
feels better to see the children andj
to allow them to follow their own
inclinations about sitting in the seats,
walking in the aisles, going out to the
front, or going to sleep.
Col. Roche was perhaps the first j
Catholic who has attended Lower |
Long Cane since the days of Dr.i|
Hemphill. General Hemphill often |
told the story of an Irishman who |
moved into the community of the j
church, who was a Catholic. He - at- j
tended services t?e first Sabbath af- j
ter his arrival, and ^t happened onji
that day that Dr. Hemphill preached:
one of his sermons in which he made;
a violent attack on the Catholic faith.j]
When he was in the midst of his dis-jj
course and was- making some state-i I
ment about the Catholics the Irish-N
man walked up. in front of the pulpit,: |
shook his umbrella at the preacher,11
exclaimed, "That is a lie," and went j
out never to return. Col. Roche, how-ij
ever, heard nothing of this kind yes- j
tcrday, though when the preacher
1
began to touch up the Mormons, he
didn't know, he said, but that he
would be "touched up later."
As we started away from the
church on the homeward journey a
number of the newly enfranchised
were gathered under the spreading
oak at the entrance to the churchtroTvl

sermon. Col. Roche advanced the
statement that-every man in the community
should have had his wife out
to hear the sermon, and Capt. Perrin
suggested that Albert Henry's
cousin, James Cox, who recently married
Caroline, the accomplished
daughter of the pastor, ought not to
have much trouble as he would have
the "old man" to help him manage
her. But Albert said that James had
told him after the .sermon that the
"old man" could preach, but * * *.
There is another story told us by
Gen. Hemphill, which we will relate,
as it pertains to the old church.
Mr. Samuel Jordan, who was a member
of the church, would sometimes

i|use'profane language when he was
i "roused," and he had been "roused"
and had been reported to Dr. Hempi
hill, the pastor. A meeting of the sesi
sion had been called to try the case.
I Dr. Hemphill was on his way to the
; meeting of the session when he was
overtaken by Mr. Jordan, both rid!
ing horseback. Mr. Jordan rode up
i Leside the preacher and said, "Dr.
Hemphill, I would like^to know who
; reported me for swearing." Dr Hemp
hill at first declined to tell him, but
I when Mr. Jordan insisted the preacher
said, "Billy Bradley," to which Mr.
Jordan replied, "Well,he had d d
i little to do." The doctor retorted,
"Well, that may be, but it don't seem
to me that he made any mistake." Mr
Jordan was the maternal grandfather
of Alf Lyon and Mrs. C. H. McMurray.
