largo aud flourishing congregs

posed of the wealthy and cul
tured planters of Ihe community
and large crowds wailed ou th
gospel at the Brick Church. Mi
Rogers taught a large High Schoi
at Mouticello near by, which wh
attended by pupils from man
( parts of the State. The Brie
Church was made up of the nobl
men and women of the old Soutt
In 1884, the church and grave
yard were enclosed with a granit
1 pfrme wall, ? h'cli w 11 stand,
supnose. until tirr??? ?hall be n
, more. The wall ik made of larg
blocks of granite laid in lim
mortar. James Kincaird, Jr
gave the lime in which the block
, were laid, and it was hauled fror
Limestone Springs, now in Chei
okeo county. The granite wa
quarried by the congregation an
hauled to the church by the men:

man named Spurrier.

When the Federal army came t
Little River, ju9t at the churcl
they found that the Confederatei
whom they were pursuing, ha
destroyed Kincaird's bridge ove
the stream ; so they tore up th
tlooring and sleepers of the churc
and rebuilt the bridge. Some on
of the company was stirred i
heart as he saw the deseeratio
of the Lord's house, and he wrot
in pencil on the doorfacing of th
church those words, which ar
legible today, after the lapse c
38 years:

The names of many other so

says: "That old Brick Church
h *s been a seed bed from which
transplants have gone throughout
^ the south." After speaking of
the names of the families already
J mentioned in this sketch, he says :
"If I were in this cemetery* 1
could recall many other names
whose generations have carried
? Presbyterianism from South
e ?
i Carolina to the Pacific coast. I
recall two ministers, Revs. Joseph
and John E. Davidson, (who w*re
e
e baptized in the Brick Church by , ^
Dr. Rogers) who passed thfcir
, ministerial lives in North Louisiii
ana. For thirty-five years Joseph
Davidson preached more sermops,
married and buried more people
g than any minister in North
Louisiana. John E. Davidson
was a graduate of Princeton and
in three years organized six or
seven ehurcliea in Louisiana, but
|. ho 'went away' just as his star
