The church was taxed to hold so many. An address appropriate for the occasion was delivered after which the formal exercises of laying the stone was conducted by Pastor Risinger assisted by Revs. Monroe and Park. A sumptuous dinner was served on the grounds between 12 and 1 o'clock and later in the afternoon the children held a missionary service. At 11:15 Sunday morning the dedi cation service began. Pa9tor Risinger .and Dr. A. G. Voigt, D. D., preceded by the church council, entered the chnrch abreast from the vestibule carrying the Holy Bible, Dr. Voigt preached the dedicatory sermon. He fully expounded the meaning of the dedication of church buildings to i-idividuals and to the service of God. St. Johns church i9 a beautiful and spacious edifice and it i9 lavishly furnished. The corner stone bears the inscription, 44St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran church, 1832-1913.

Prior 10 1832, according to the best ' information now obtainable, St. Johns congregation was organized and a frame building 45 by 35 feet was built with a gallery. At that time it wa9 one of the county's best church buildings. The same can truthfully be said of the present one. This building was dedicated in January, 1S32, and we suppose on the third Sunday, as it is said that the third Sunday has always been the day of St. Johns service. The gallery was largely used by the colored slaves before the civil War. The first officers were designated a9 elders and were: John Leaphart, Jacob Rawl, Wm. Taylor and John Lown. This building with some repairs stood a9 first built till 1913, when it wa9 remodelled into the present building. The old building was > left standing just as built and a Suni d&y school building 35 by 25 feet added to the south side, and on the north 1 aide a pulpit annex of 10 by 35 feet was added, a tower was built, the building reweatherboarded, refloored, recovered and the old, email windows were replaced by large gothic windows. On the third Sunday, October 20, 1912, Pastor P. D. Risinger *called a congregational meeting immediately after divine service and submitted nlans for remodelinf? the old chnrcli 1 building. The plana submitted were according to description given above and were at once unanimously adopted, and the pastor was instructed to begin raising the money to erect the remodeled building. The pastor was | ordered to select a committee to assist i him in the work and accordingly he apj pointed Messrs. D. S. Kyzer and W. I K. Hook. | The contract (or the building was J awarded to John W. Frye, of Lexiug{ ton, who began work 011 the 27th of , January, 191J.

Gk Eleazer Dead. Chapin, July IS,?Dr. H. G. Eleazer died suddenly at his home in Spring Hill ibis morning at 3 o'clock. Dr. Eleazer was born in Lexington ? county, April 16, 1861. He was there- I ' fore fifty-three years of age. He was p the son of George B. Eleazer, who has > preceded him to the grave. In the year 1885 he graduated at the Medical College of Charleston, and the following year he finished at the hospital. On December 29, 1S87, he was married to Miss Mary Cozier Welch, daughter of James A. Welch. One year ago he was attacked by a slight stroke of paralysis, and the second stroke came last night, which caused his death. His work as i physician was well known, and he was a | surgeon for the Southern and C. X, & g L. railways. I Dr? Eleazer was a man of high char- ? ccter. He was a member of Mt. Olivet church and was known for his generous disposition and neighborly qualities. Jle was a Mason and Knight of Pythias. He leaves a wife, one daughter, two sons, a mother, three sisters and five brothers. The interment was in the cemetery at Mt. Olivet church Saturday at 10 o'clock. Dr. Eleazer was the physician of the John D. .Tannhs familv that was ex terminated at their home in the Fork, I presumably by Jacobs, while suffering | from a mental affection. Dr. Eleazer | was a prominent witness at the coroner's inquest a few days ago as he testified that he had treated Jacobs s and in their conversations Jacobs had referred to suicide. On Dr. Eleazer's testimony was advanced the theory that Jacobs had killed the family and afterwards committed suicide. ^ ^ ; For The Common Godd.
