I At :: o'clock tho crowd rc-nssom bled in the church auditorium for tho home-coming services, which opened with an address of welcome by Rev. T. M. Stribllng. who in beautiful phraseology epxrossed tho delight on tho part of tho present members of the church ami citizens of tho com munity in extending to the visitors a hearty welcome to the church of their youth. Rev. Stribllng also expressed delight that tho Richland peoplo still considered him a part of their num ber, In proof of which fact they sc I " 1 - lectori him to welcome the others homo. This address was heartily re sponded to by Rev. Joseph T. Dondv, of Delmont, formerly of Richland, who in most touching and eloquent terms gave numerous reasons why tho visitors wore glad to be present. His omotlonal remarks wore emana tive of a true Christian heart calling to remembrance tho many loved ones who had gone to their reward, and concluding his response with Ibo beautiful and touching poem. "Tho City of the Dead," the words of which aro so expressive and so im pressive we quote them in full: Tho City <>f tho Dead. There is a beautiful city, laid out ill walks and squares, And tho (lowers in rich profusion per fume the summer's air; 'Tis there tho willow wreath and the violets lift their hoads. And they call Hie name of this lovely city "Tho City of the Dead. ' Tho breeze in gentle dalliance from (lower lo Mower roves The very air seems pure in lho.?3 quiet, shady groves.

C. Hughs, of Wal halla. His remarks, while hoing con gratulatory to the Richland peopl In that they have kept pace with th march of time, and, actuated by spirit of religious progress, bav modernized the church which on forefathres established, still con tained a warning In regard to th danger of laying too much stress o things material, to the neglect c the spiritual training of our chi dren. Capt. S. K. Dendy, ot Walhalh was next called on for a talk. Hi remarks wore brief, but reminisces and interesting. Mr. Dendy gave descriptive account of how tho fir; old log church was built-how th men of the community, his lathe James H. Dendy, inclusive, cut dow the forest trees, hewed thom int logs. Utting them together and thu building the lirst church at Rici land. The building was about 60 li .10 feet, and stood northeast of tl: present church. The pulpit stood i tho north end, just beneath a sma window. Tho window and door shu lers were batten and hung on woodt hinges. Capt. Dendy was douhtle tho only person present who had a tended the dedication of the first lc church and also tho dedication of tl second frame building, which ls t! auditorium of the present chore he hoing a small child when ibo 1< church was used, and was baptist within its walls. Capt. Dendy's talk was follow by a short discourse by lames Armstrong, whose delight on bel" present on this impressive and hapi occasion was loo great for expiv sion. His remarks were aiief. b emanated from a true and brother heart. Col. R. T. Jnynos was thc next address tho audience.. Col, Jayn beautifully portrayed iii?- congeith Ity that has ever ex is tod between I Presbyterians and the Methodists the Richland community from t earl st years of the existence oft churches up to the prosont tin: practically the same congregatl fonding both the churches H is sourco of much regret that Ct Jaynos's address was unavoidably 1 terruptod on account of dark a threatening clouds. (|uito a go many of the people being compel? to lenvo for their homos. yVo f< sure that wo express the deslro the ontire congregation ia reque lng Col. Jaynes to furnish us a co of his address through The Courier.1 Mr. Jaynes is an able and eloquent speaker and was reared within less than a quarter of a mile from the Richland church, and we are not willing lo be deprived the pleasure which his address would have afford ed. (A brief resume of this address will be found elsewhero tn this issue of The Courier.) The services of tho day were con cluded with a sermon at 6 p. m. by Rev. .los. T. Dendy, and thus ended a day which goes down Into the an nals of Richland as a day of dedica- . lion and blessing-a day of foasling and rejoicing, and a day of Chris tian unity and thanksgiving. Before closing we wish to mention that from Richland vicinity have gone out seven candidates for the minis try, all of whom aro actively engaged in ministerial work. Their names aro as follows. Rev. Joseph T. Dendy, j \V. Bruce Doyle. T. M. Strlbllng, of tho Presbyterian church, and Revs, i R. R. Doyle and Hollis A. Whitten, of j the Methodist church, and Rev. J. P.
