HISTORY OF THE
A. R.P, CHURCH
Rev. J. L. Young Wa6' First Pastor
When Church Was First Or
ganized About 1836.
(Contributed)
The Associate Reformed Presbyter
ian church of Clinton was formerly
the Providence church. About 1900,
the Providence congregation, having
long worshipped near Clinton, bought
a lot and built a house in the city.
Providence was organized about 1836,
and the Rev. J. L. Young was the
first pastor, being installed in the
fall of 1836. He served as pastor
until the fall of 1851. Three years
later, Rev. D. J. Haddon accepted the
pastorate and continued until the end
of 1892. He served the church a short
time before and after installation
rounding out some forty two years.
Rev. Horace Rabb was pastor for
a short time, from March 20, 1896
to September 18, 1897.
Rev. W. A. M. Plaxico was installed
pastor in May, 1900, and served the
church about five years. Soon after
he became pastor he began preach
ing in the Old Acadamey on the spot
where the graded school building now
stands. In 1901, Synod gave Mr. .Plax
ico permission to canvas the churches
of the Second Presbytery for money
to help build the church at this place

cle with him, and when possible went
from place to place on his wheel in
order to save all expenses that he
could for the church. Through his
faithful, untiring efforts, the funds
were raised, and in 1902, the present
house was built. It was dedicated in
August of the same year, by the
late Rev. J. S. Moffat, D. D. Mr.
Plaxico gave the work up at this
place in 1905.
Presbytery has met here twice, in
1904 and again in 1911.
Rev. W. A. Blakely served the
church about a year, and had
to give up the work on account of
ill health. He was born and baptized
in this congregation.
Rev. J. ft. Hooten was called and
accepted the work. He was here about
six years.
Rev. H. E. Pressley was pastor for
two years. He resigned to take up
work in Mexico, having accepted the
work here with that end in view.
Rev. W. H. Stevenson began work
here in August, 1919 and was install
ed in December of the same year.
Mx .Stevenson did faithful work until
October, 1923. He was called at that
time to White Ooak and New Hope,
and accepted. Since his going away
the church has not had preaching
regularly.

mind to a June wedding with six
bridesmaids and the “Voice That
Breathed O’er Eden" sung softly dur

yet selected the groom.
Sometimes Claris pictured Jack Dud
ley in the role—sometimes Barry
Cowles. Her mother rather favored
Jack and because of youth’s contrari
ness, that frequently threw her daugh
ten’s favors Barryward.
“Oh, mother, what a heavenly way
to drape your veil!” Claris was thumb

unusual perception for a man about
clothes.” <
“So unlike Barry,” murmured Claris.
“Barry is too essentially masculine to
notice the difference between one
style and another."
That is how the land lay. Something
would have to happen to throw Claris’
preference violently one way or the.
other if there were to be any June
wedding at all.

times when the church was withou 1

Morse, La.—Mrs. L. P. Lam

Fears, recently told a visitor of
her interesting experiences with
Cardui.
“Just before my , . . came
on,” said Mrs. Lambert, “I would
ache all over. My feet, my toes,
my arms, hands, head—my whole
body seemed to be in one awful
pain. I would grow so nervous
that I could not hold a cup in my
hand. My husband would have
to. hold my coffee for me to
drink. Last fall I was in such a
bad condition that I had to spend
about three days in bed every
month. It seemed to me that I
was on my Jast go-round.”
Then one day, said Mrs. Lam
bert, she happened to read about
Cardui and the experiences of
some women who had been
helped by it felt that Cardui

continued, “for I had been suf

those mentioned there. I had
heard of Cardui all my life and
I knew many women who said

“Very soon after, I began to

was partly due to a run-down

Angellne had carelessly allowed hit-

home, his aching hand In a sling, wrath
in his heart.
Consequently Angellne went to the
party alone. Claris, however, upon
whom Jack and Barry assiduously
waited, insisted that they draw lots to
see which should take Angellne home
and It wus during that homeward
stroll which had fallen to Barry that
events took a new course.
“We all love Claris,” began An
geline. /‘Don’t we?"
“I do," said Burry promptly, “and
I’m afraid another fellow does I** he
added ruefully.
“Meaning? asked Angellne.
“Jack Dudley, of course."

Angellne, "Jmt my sympathies are
with you. Now*, listen, I’ve an idea.”

Meanwhile Claris, sauntering along
with Jack through the silver moon
light found her thoughts wandering
until hroug^ up short by her com
panion’s ser™ s tone and more serious
words.
“Claris, you’ve got to Judge between
Barry and me. I’m sick of this sus

when I return I must have your an

A strange day billowed for the girl
No telephone messages, notes or flow
ers from either Jack nr Barry. Late
that afternoon Angellne ealled up tr

Claris hung up the receiver with a
peculiar sensation about her heart
Basely deserted by one man and left
in the lurch hy another for a week a
the end of which she must accept him
as a fiance or lose him forever! Know

Claris kept her predicament to her

After all there had never been any

at a proposal.
