The good and bad, intelligent and ignorant, rich and poor, white and black, all seemed to make much attending the place of meeting, even though some might not go inside to' take part or listen to the preaching. and the de votional services. Young men, I ob served as a boy, would sometines re main outside, sitting about in bug gies, or huddled under the trees in summer time and engaged in chatting. Sometimes boys and others would sit a while in church and then walk out. thus causing some confusion and distraction. Occasionally slight mis behavior would occur in church; but usually there was silrnt and good at tention. I recall that one night at ML Olivet church during a series of meetings, a squad of young men who HarauraU indeed, if not unknown. I sometnrLs feel to say: “Why should it have been so then, but not now?” All classes of people congregated at the churches, and especially so at the annual services or protracted meet ings, in summer or Autumn when the weather was usually pleasant. It was a rare exception to see a stove or other^ means of heating, in any of the country churche*. " Tallow condles (often on wooden candle sticks— blocks with auger-holes) were com monly used for lighting. In the pul pit, a nice metallic candlestick might be used. Kerosine oil, gas and lece- tricity would have seemed a marvel! Congregational singing was the cus tom, no organ or piano or , other musical instrument being employed. I remember .the sensation at ML Olivet, when the “melodion” was first introduced. An old slave of one of my uncles, on first hearing it played, said: “It makes me feel like danc in’.** That remind* me of an old gentleman—greatly oppoaed to in strumental music in Church—who gt- church Second Week Petit Jurors prawn for Approaching December Term.
