Ah ! years have come and gone, dear Tom, The past seems like a dream, Since you and I together met, Down by the winding stream : When hand in hand we promised, Tom, To each we would be true; Old time has made no change in me, I'm still a friend to you. How often have I wept, dear Tom, When thinkingo'er the joys, The happy scenes of long ago, When you and I were boys; But now I'm told you're very poor, And your days in life are few. It gives me joy to meet you, Tom? I'm still a friend to you. Old friendship often withers, Tom, Whene'er a man grows poor. The rich and proud forget "old friends," And know them then no more. But keep that honest heart of yours, We'll make old friendship new ; I care not what the world may say, T'm ntill a friand to voil. HwmuMus ? rpartrarnt. THE GAME OF EUCHRE. There is genuine humor in the idea that an Askansas man finds the most natural expression, even of parting advice to his son, in the language of the card table, and the manner in which the terms of the game "Euchre" are there fitted to the life, is ingenious. "Bob, you are about leaviDg home for strange parts. You're going to throw me out ot the game and go it alone. The odds are against you, Bob ; but remember always that industry and perseverance are the winning cards?they are the "bowers." Book laming, and all that sort of thing, will do to fill up with like small trumps; but you must have the bowers to back 'em, else they ain't worth shucks. If luck runs agin you pretty strong, don't cave in and look like a sick chicken on a rainy day, but bold your head ud and make em believe you are flush of ~r trumps; they won't play so hard agin you. I've lived and traveled around some, Bob, and I've found out that as soon as folks thought that you held a weak hand, they'd buck agin you strong. So when you're weak, keep on a bold front, but play cautious; be satisfied with a pint. Many's the hand I've seen euchered 'cause they played for too much. Keep your eyes skinned, Bob ; don't let 'em 'nig on you ; recollect the game lays as much with the head as with the hands. Be temperate; never get drunk, for then, no matter how good your hand, you won't know how to play it; both bowers and the ace won't save you, for there's sartin to be "miss deal," or something wrong. Another thing, Bob, (this was spoken in a low tone) don't go too much on the women; queens is kinder poor cards, the more you 1 4.1.- ? waii con tnicrhfr nave ui tueui tuc ituioo ivi jvu} juu have three aDd narry trump. I don't say discard 'em all; if you get hold of one that's a trump, it's all good, and there's sartin to be one out of four. And above all, Bob, be honest, never take a man's trick wot don't belong to you; nor slip cards, nor 'nig; for then you can't look your man in the face, and when that's the case, there's no fun in the game; it's a regular cut-throat. So, now, Bob, farewell. Remember what I tell you, and you'll be sure to win, and if you don't, sarves you right. HOW HE WON HER. A young couple were occupying a rustic seat one evening this week, and from the expression of the masculine representative's face, it was evident that he was "a goner"?drifted as it were, over the great psychological Niagara of affection, and was even then being dizzily whirled about in the frothy whirlpool of affection. The swimming swans had no affection for him, the eagles were as nothing; and he did not even notice the big white bear. "Oh ! do be mine," he said, attempting to draw her nearer to his end or tne seat. She made herself rigid, and heaved a sigh. "I'll be a good man, and give up all my bad habits," he urged. No reply. "I'll never drink another drop," he continued. Still unrelenting sat the object of his adoration. "And give up chewing?" No response. "And smoking?" Cold as ever. "And join the church." She only shook her head. "And give you a diamond engagement ring," he added, in desperation. Then the maiden lifted her drooping eyes to his, and leaning her frizzes on his shoulder, fwamk]!n/vlo mnrmn rorl intrt Kifl PftvioItpH fiftl* * HU.UU""6,; UJU.IUM.VV..U.V "Oh ! Edward, you are so good!" And there they sat, and sat, until the soft arms of night?that dusky nurse of the worldhad folded them from sight, pondering, planning, thinking?she of the diamond ring, and he of how on earth he was to get it. Anecdote of Lincoln.?"One day," said Mr. Lincoln, "when I first came here, I got into a fit of musing in my room, and stood resting my elbows on the bureau. Looking into the glass, it struck me what an awful ugly man I was. The fact grew on me, and I made up my mind that I must be the ugliest man in the world. It so maddened me that I resolved, should I ever see an uglier man, I would shoot him at sight. Not long after this Andy , (naming a prominent lawyer present) came to town, and the first time I saw him I said to myself, 'That's the man.' I went home, took down my gun and prowled around the streets waiting for him. He soon came along. 'Halt, Andy,' said I, pointing my gun at him ; 'say your prayers for I'm going to shoot you.'" "Why, Mr. Linclon, what's the matter ? what have I done ?" "I made an oath that if I ever saw a man uglier than I am, I'd shoot him on the spot. You are uglier, sure; so make ready to die." "Mr. Lincoln, do you really think I'm uglier than you ?" "Yes." "Well, Mr. Lincoln," replied Andy, deliberately, and looking me squarely in the face, "If I am uglier, fire away !" The Rival Boys.?A couple of diminutive specimens of the genus small boy were together on Liberty street, one spinning a gorgeous-colored humming-top, and the other gazing on the toy with a look in which a combination of admiration and envy was plainly depicted. Finally the owner of the top said to the other boy : "Why don't your dad buy you a top like this?" "'Cause I wouldn't have a top like that; my dad's sent off to Columbia for a top what plays an organ like there is up at the Methodist church, and sings 'Hold the Fort," and "Yankee Doodle Dandy.'" "0, shet up yer mouth; your dad couldn't buy a top like that; 'cause I heard my mar say he couldn't pay his store bill, and that your mother had to turn her last year's alpaca, to look half way decent at church last Sunday." "Well, I don't care, any way," sobbed out the topless boy, "our baby's got fits, and your folks ain't even got no baby to have 'era." Then the boy with the top shook hands across the bloody chasm by letting the other boy spin his top "jest once." The Bishop's Joke.?Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, always will have his joke, and it's worth having, too. Once upon a time, he visited one of his parishioners, a lady with a prodigious family, which had recently been increased. As he rose to leave, the lady stopped him with, "But you haven't seen ray last baby." "No," he quickly replied, "and I never expect to I" Then he fled. i ?httttft ?frt0tg. | j HISTORY i OF ' BETHEL. CHVRCH.| I ' BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. | Ten miles north east of Yorkville; four miles south of the North Carolina line; and about eight miles west of Catawba river, j i : stands Bethel Church. Here, in the year i 176'J, the Rev. William Richardson, pastor J j j of Old Waxbaw Church, in Lancaster coun- I j ty, organized the first church in the territory | now included within the limits of York j county. The name of the church was given to an < extensive region of country. Its bounds were not definitely fixed; but we may safely say that it included an area of territory equal to i more than one-fourth of the county of York. On the west it extended as far, or even far- i ther, than the King's Mountain road ; on the east it was bounded by the Catawba; southward it extended below the present site of | Yorkville; and on the north its limit was many miles beyond the present line which < divides the two Carolinas. The precise date when this region of country began to be first settled by white men, i cannot, at this late day, be ascertained with absolute accuracy. It is certain that as early as 1740 there were a number of white men < I An ?llA tCOotsm Koillr nf tllP flfttftwhft. I OCtdJCU VU buu nvovviu VMMU v. www , from the mouth of South Fork, as far down as Cureton's ferry. The first white individuals who visited York county, were Indian traders. This was as early as 1737. These, however, constituted no part, so far as we know, of the individuals who originally formed Bethel congregation. As early as 1752, extensive settlements were made on Crowder's creek, north of Beth- : el Church; and on Allison's creek and Toole's Fork, south of it. Nearly all these settlers came from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl- : vania. These settlers were mainly ScotchIrish, and nearly all Presbyterians. There were a few Scotch, and strange as it may appear, there were a few Roman Catholics among them. The Roman Catholics came from Maryland. We do not mean, however, that all the immigrants who came from Maryland, were Roman Catholics. The Scotch-Irish element was greatly in the ascendancy. The history of this people be- i gins in the days of the Stuarts. It is ooe of thrilling interest. This, however, is not the place to narrate it. Suffice it to say, that to escape persecution for righteousness' sake, and that they might worship God in peace and quiet, numbers of the Scotch left their native land and went to Ireland. They settled in Ulster province. They were Presbyterians, and hence they are often called Ulster Presbyterians. Iu Ireland, these Scotch immigrants A toifk *Kn TTnrvltah QOlflprfl ?nH UUUJC 1U luuiavb TT1 bll buu ijugiiau wvvxtvkw mwi. native Irish. The Scotch element was the strongest, and prevailed. Still, a ScotchIrishman is marked by different traits of character from those which characterize either a Scotchman or an Englishman, or a native Irishman. He has the traits of character of them all. He is not so shrewd as a Scotchman, so polished as an Englishman, nor so rash as a native Irishman. He has some shrewdness, some polish and some times a vast amount of recklessness. Both the Scotchman and the Scotch-Irishman, are lovers of liberty; but they are not agreed as to what liberty is. The Scotchman says he is free when he is governed by law. He is not very particular who rules or who enacts laws, provided the laws are faithfully enforced. The Scotch-Irishman claims the right to make the laws by which he is to be governed, and also the right to choose his own rulers. This is I what he calls liberty. A Scotchman loves his country so ardently that he will suffer it to oppress him for a long time, before he will complaiu. A Scotch-Irishman hates oppress- 1 ion so intensely, that he is ready, at a mo- 1 ment's warning, to resist the least encroach- 1 ment upon his rights, no matter by whom the 1 encroachment is made. National freedom is the pride of a Scotchman ; personal liberty is 1 | the beau-ideal of a Scotch-Irishman. A ! | Scotchman loves to make money and become 1 I rich; a Scotch-Irishman dreads poverty beI cause it reduces him to the condition of a 1 nrrmnhpr hut he loves riches no farther than 1 they secure to him a degree of personal independence. ; Like the Scotchman, the Scotch-Irishman i loves the Bible, and is a strict observer of I the Sabbath day. His notions of religious freedom have ever been in advance of John Knox himself. Under his molding influence, i he has changed even the features of Presby- i terianism. "Give to Caesar the things that i are Caesar's and to God the things that are i God's," is an article in his creed. It is an i article of his faith that Church and State must I be kept separate and distinct. This rough I picture would be defective were we not to add that whilst Scotch-Irishmen rarely become i millionaires, they seldom are miserably poor. ? Frugal, honest, industrious and vehement < lovers of personal independence, they are seldom seen clad in the rags of squalid poverty. 1 The Scotch-Irish, like the Huguenots, never I had, in America, a colony under their coutrol. < They were scattered among all the Atlantic colonies. The principal settlement of the i nuguenois was, peruana, iu uic iunci octuwu of South Carolina. Certainly the main point i to which the Scotch-Irish were attracted, was i the Cumberland valley in Pennsylvania. < Their principal settlement was the territory included in the counties of Bucks, Chester, i Lancaster and York. These names the early settlers brought with them from beyond the Atlantic, and again gave them to sections of country in South Caroliua which these sections still retain. As early as 1730, the Cumberland valley was almost exclusively occupied by ScotchIrish. The condition of things in Great Britain had a direct influence in driving many, annually, to America. The unsettled state of things in the northern colonies, and the inducements offered to those who would settle in North and South Carolina, had a tendency to induce many to leave Cumberland valley, and, by degrees, work their way to the South. The stream of emigration when once it had cut its way through the wilderness, swelled in j volume. The tide of emigration was from j Cumberland valley westward and southward. ; The old Presbyterian churches in Virginia and North Carolina, indicate the track which I these pilgrims followed, and the points at j which some of them stopped. It is traceable ' by them through Virginia and North Caro- : tKo PoforoKo onrl R paq/1 rit?oro in i IlUAj avi UOS lug Vyctbtfc ist* uuu ^iUN?v? *?*v?w fM | South Carolina, as far as the Long Canes in Abbeville county. One of these stopping points was in the region of country in which Bethel Church was afterward built. Why a Church was not organized sooner, we cannot say with absolute certainty. Several | reasons, no doubt, conspired to cause the delay. At first, the settlers were very much j scattered, and consequently there could not i be a great deal of concert of action. Not I only so, but one section of the territory was principally settled by individuals lately from I Ireland, and greatly dissatisfied with the j ' Presbyterian Church of Irelaud on account' of the Socinian errors introduced by what is I known in history as the Belfast Society. This j society was first started about the year 1705. ! Its chief man was the Rev. John Abernethy. j He was a man of decided mental powers and . great learning. He was joined by a number : of ministers. They denied, at first modestly, i I and afterwards boldly, the divinity of our Saviour. This produced a rupture in the , Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Many of 1 the ministers espoused the Belfast Society | doctrine, whilst the people generally remained firm in the ancient doctrine of the church. The contention waxed bitter between the con- i tending parties, and they separated with the < intention never again to fellowship together ' I in religion. These feelings many brought i 1 with them to America. They distrusted all because a few were not trustworthy. We do not say that there were individuals among the first settlers of the Bethel country, who held the doctrines of the Belfast Society. This, we suppose, was not the case; but there were individuals in that region as early as 1752, who suspected all Presbyterians of Socinianism, who had not made a deliverance against the Belfast Society. This State of things, no doubt, retarded the organization of Bethel Church. It will be remembered, too, that raiuisters of the gospel were very scarce at that time. These things, together with many others, no doubt, delayed the organization of Bethel Church until 1764. It is thought that this is the date of the 6rst preaching at this place, as well as of the organization of the church. This is scarcely credible. Previons to the defeat of General Braddock in 1755, but especially after this unfortuuate affair, the country was settled up very rapidly. In 1752 grants were taken out which cover nearly all the land on both Allison creeks and Toole's Fork. Even supposing that in some instances grants were taken out before the settlers arrived, it is known that in most cases settlements were made before grants were obtained. This being the case, it is barely possible that a people whom all traditions concur in representing as eminently pious, would have remained for a period of at least fifteen years, without any preaching at all. The Rev. Hugh McAden passed through York county in October, 1755. From James Love's, on Broad river, he passed through the country to Old Waxhaw Church in Lancaster. It is highly probable that he crossed the Catawba river at Landsford. So far as we have been able to discover, it is not stated that he either visited or preached in the Bethel cougregation. Still we have not a complete account of his missionary labors, and for anything that we know certainly to the contrary, he may have preached to some of the people who, in 1764, entered into the organization. There is a tradition, handed down through trustworthy persons, that prior to the organization of the church and building of the first house of worship, the people were accustomed to worship in the grove near the spring first used by the congregation. The names of the preachers have not been preserved. The first Elders of Bethel congregation were John Gullick, James Campbell, David Watson, John Jordau, Thomas Neel, and George Denny. If all these were ordained by the Rev. Richardson, on the occasion of organizing the church, it would indicate very plainly that the number of individuals entering into the orgauization was very great for a newcountry. The exact number of the membership we have no raeaus of ascertaining. From 1764, the period of its organization to 1770?about six years?Bethel was without a pastor. During this time, it was ministered to by supplies sent by the Synod of New York and Pennsylvania. During this period the Rev. John Cosson, who was sent to America by Lady Huntingdon, the friend of the celebrated George Whitfield, ministered in word and doctrine to the congregation. In 1770, the Rev. Hezekiah Balch became their first pastor. His ordination as an evaugelist, was on the 8th of May. 1770, by, we suppose, the presbytery of New Castle. Mr. Balch was born in Hartford county, Maryland, in 1741. fn bia pnrlc childhood his father moved to Mecklenburg county, North Carolina. During the pastorate of Rev. Balch, aouae changes took place in the congregation, and great changes in the country. Joseph Bradner, Colonel Samuel Watson, John Howe, Samuel Craig and JohnBaird, were ordained to the eldership. The war between the colonies and great Britain, now began. Soon after the beginning of the Revolutionary contest, Mr. Balch resigned his charge and removed beyond the mountains, into what is now the State of Tennessee. A series of unfortunate events befell him in after life. During his stay at Bethel, he was married to Miss Hannah Lewis, a lady of rare personal charms, and remarkable for her intellectual endowments. After they removed to Tennessee, her mind became deranged. This was a source of sorrow to her husband. Mr. Balch was accused, by his Presbytery, of certain irregularities in church government, and of holdiug doctrines contrary to the standards of the Presbyterian Church. During the progress of the Revolutionary war, Bethel congregation was, in the language of Presbyterians, a vacancy. In other words, it was without a pastor. During this period occasional ministrations in the word and ordinances were afforded the people by the Rev. John Cosson, James McRee and Francis Cummins. This is the nroner nlace. DerhaDS. to notice the position which Bethel congregation took in the struggle which the colonies were now making for liberty. One short sentence will suffice to state what they were in politics, but a volume would be necessary to contain a history of what they did. They were Whigs to a man. One of the first elders?Colonel Thomas Neel?led, in 1775, a regimeut of men against the Cherokee Indians. He died January 20th, 1779. One of his sons was a captain and another a colonel. The former wa3 killed by the Indians, and the latter by the tories. Another elder, Samuel Watson? the grandfather of the present pastor of Bethsi?was a colonel in the Revolutionary war. He died November 25th, 1810. The regiment commanded by Col. Thomas Neel, in the Cherokee war, rendezvoused on the night before its departure for the scene of conflict, at Clinton's, the present site of the residence of Mr. J. L. Adams. Their camp was under the shadow of the house of God. Numbers of the members of Bethel, during the Revolution, deserve a more extended notice than is compatible with our present purpose. After the close of the war and the return of peace, the congregation of Bethel made arrangements to secure a pastor. Accordingly. in the SDriner of 1782. a call was made out --j r i o and presented to the Rev. Francis Cummins. The call was accepted, and late in the same year, or early in 1783, he was ordained and installed pastor of Bethel Church. The congregation still continued to grow and expand ; partly from immigration and partly from accessions from the inhabitants of the country. Again the number of the elders was increased. Joseph McKenzie, Alexander Eakins, William Davis and Andrew Floyd were, in due form, according to the rules of Presbyterianism, ordained to this sacred office. Again the congregation became vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Francis Cummins. This took place April 17th, 1789. About this time, the congregation, which heretofore, had greatly prospered, and that, too, under very unfavorable circumstances, began to exhibit signs ef decay. The people became divided among themselves, and some of them disaffected toward their pastor. The result, in part, at least, of this disaffection, was the formation of a new congregation, to which, the name of Olney was given. This separation took place some time in the year 1793. During the pastorate of Mr. Cummins?on the 22d of March, 1786?Bethel Church was incorporated by the Legislature of South Carolifia. The Reverend, afterward Dr. Cummins, ? /V _ . 4.1 ? ? *h/v /latMinm tho was irecjueuuy 111 iuc anuj uunug kuo lutionary war, and after the war closed, he was, in 1788, chosen by the people of York county, a member of the Convention which adopted the Constitution of the United States. His colleagues voted against adopting it; he voted for it. He moved to Greene county, Georgia, and died about 1828, loved and respected by all who knew him. He preached to one congregation, in Georgia, more thau twenty-three years. Again the congregation remained vacant for a period of about seven years, or from April 17th, 1789, to July 7th, 1796. At this time the Rev. George G. McWhorter was ordained and installed pastor of Bethel and Beersheba congregations. The withdrawal of that por-1 tion of Bethel congregation which formed Olney, made it necessary that a union be i formed with Beersheba. Mr. McWhorter remained pastor of these two congregations until the 29th of September, 1801, when he left and finally settled in Alabama. Here he died at an advanced age, rich in faith, but poor in the things of this world. From 1801 to 1811, Bethel Church was without a pastor, with the exception of less than two years, during which time the Rev. Humphrey Hunter, of North Carolina, seems to have been a stated supply. In 1811, the congregation of Bethel solicited the ministerial services of the Rev. James S. Adams. Mr. Adams was a native of the Bethel country. His birth-place is only about four miles north of the church. He was bori' during the ministration of Mr. Balch, by whom he was, no doubt, baptized. So far as we have been able to learn, Mr. Adams was the first son that Bethel gave to the gospel ministry. At the time that the people of Bethel invited Mr. Adams to take charge of their spiritual interests, he was settled over the Congregational church of Dorchester and Beech Hill, in the southern portion of the State. Here he was ordained and set apart to the full work of the ministry, by an association ot Uongregationai ministers. On his grave stone it is stated that he had preached forty-eight years?twentynine of which were at Bethel. Previous to the time he went to Dorchester, he spent some time as a missionary in East Tennessee, but we neither know how long he spent in this work, nor how long he was pastor of Dorchester. We think it very probable that he spent but a short time in East Tennessee. In the latter part of 1839, he ceased to be the pastor of Bethel, but continued to preach so long as the infirmities of age would permit. He died August 18th, 1843. His name still remains in the recollections of the old people, by whom his memory is dearly cherished. We may safely say that Mr. Adams was a good pastor. The church grew and prospered. The iufluence of Mr. Adams was very great over the whole region of country. He was known everywhere by the title "Parson Adams," and what was very remarkable, his own brothers called him "Mister Adams." The following names were added to the eldership during Mr. Adams' ministration: David Watson, James Moore, John Campbell, Joseph Adams, David Turner, Samuel Gingles, Edward Moore, John Barry, John Gabby, Jas. McCord Pursely, Laban Suggs, William Adams, William Watson, William Latta, Robert Johnston and Adam Beamguard. Again, in the spring of 1840, the congregation of Bethel invited another one of her sons to the pastorate of the Church. This was the Rev. Samuel Litle Watson, the son of David Watsou, of Allison creek. His grand father, Colonel Samuel Watson, was ordained au elder during the pastorate of Mr. Balch, and his father during that of Mr. Adams. At the time the call was presented to Mr. Watson, he was pastor of Steel Creek Church, in Mecklenburg county, North Carolina. In this field he had labored acceptably for thirteen years. His labors in Bethel began on the first Sabbath of April, 1840, and on the 2oth of the same month, he was installed pastor and coutinues to be unto this day. Mr. Watsou is an old man?being near eighty years of age. He was baptized in Bethel Church by the Rev. McWhorter, in 1788. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of South Carolina, at Long Cane Church, in Abbeville county, in the Fall of 1826; hence, he has been preaching the gospel for more than half a century. He graduated at South Carolina College in 1820 and studied theology at Princetou, New Jersey, under Drs. Archibald Alexanderand Samuel Miller. For nearly forty years, Mr. Watson has been the faithful pastor of Bethel. He is an instructive preacher, a good theologian, and his walk and conversation, from his youth up, has been such as becometh the gospel. "He was the steadiest young man I ever saw," is the testimony of one who was with him as a student at Princeton. He has been "sober," in the Scripture seuse of that word, all his life. Still he is by no means dull. In conversation he is both entertaining and instructive. His sermons are always scriptural, and characterized by close, logical reasoning. As a citizen he is highly respected, and as a minister of the gospel he is loved by all of every name who love the Saviour. His influence is mighty. There are few persons in the Bethel section of York county, or any other section of the county, who would refuse to follow the advice of Mr. Watson. During his pastorate, Bethel Church has been continuously prosperous. It is to-day one of the largest and most influential congregations in South Carolina. The Bethel people are plain and unassuming in manners. They retain many of the characteristics of their progenitors. They love the church. It is never so cold, or so hot, so wet, or so dry, as to keep a majority of the congregation from attending the services of the sanctuary. They love the gospel?the old gospel?simple, but powerful because of its simplicity. The present bench of elders is composed of the following names: Capt. J. J. Wilson, Dr. A. P. Campbell, S. L. Adams. J. L. Adams, Samuel B. McCully and Thomas Nichols. Three years ago the congregation erected a large and comfortable house of worship, which is the fourth that has been built since the organization of the church. With regard to the pastors of Bethel, it may be said that tbey have uniformly heen able men ; but to Adams and Watson is mainly due, under the blessing of God, the making of the people of Bethel what they are. They have fashioned the people of Bethel, so that in manners and customs, and in religious thought and pructice, they are very like themselves. The following is, we believe, an accurate list of those persons who have, at different periods, held the office of ruling elder in the congregation: John Gullick, James Campbell, David Watson, John Jordan, Thomas Neel, George Denny, Joseph Bradaer, Col. Samuel Watson, John Howe, Samuel Craig, John Baird, Joseph McKenzie, Alexander Eakins, William Davis, David Watson, Joseph Adams, James Moore, John Campbell, David Turner, Samuel Gingles, John Barry. ! Edward Moore, John Gabby, James McCord Pursly, William Adams, Laban Suggs, William Watson, William Latta, Robert Johnston, Adam Beamguard, Zenas Kerr, Robert Barber, Maj. A. A. McKenzie, Capt. J. J. Wilson, J. D. P. Currence, A. P. Campbell, James Wallace, John Harry, J. L. Adams, Samuel B. McCully, Thomas Nichols, D. A. Adams, John C. McCarter and S. L. Adams. Multitudes, scattered over the South and West, were born twice in Old Bethel. There they first saw the light of day, and there they were "born of the Spirit." In behalf of Old Bethel, the language of many a heart is: "For sake of friends and kindred dear, My heart's desire is 'peace to thee And for the house of God. my prayer Shall seok thy good continually." ;?be (Jrtiqutw.
