Blo(RAPHICAL SKETCH OF PASTORS
It is a source of profound persona
regret that he to whom this duty wa
first assigned was unable to perform it
for reasons satisfactory to himself. Th
brevity of the time for preparation
scarcity of material, together with th
fact I anm almost a "stranger withii
your gates," have been the grounds o.
no little embarrassment in enterinu
upon and executing the task allottec
to my - hands. While I have had thi
p)lealure and honor of a limited persona
acuiuaintanuce with a numxber of th
pastors of this church, my association
with all of them except two coul(
hardly be called intimate. I have
therefore, been largely dependent upor
biographies, newspapers, t.he minute
of the South Carolina Synod, and sev
eral citizens of New berry, for the fact
I have gathered, and I now desire, ii
this public manner, to make to one an
all of these sources of information du,
and grateful acknowledgement.
I feel co,nstrained, first of all, afte
looking somewhat into the history o
the men who God has called to serv
this church, to congratulate you upon
t he distinguished line of able, eloquent
consecrated pastors,who have succeede<
each other for the past thirty-fiv
vears. Sonie have risen to p)ositions5 c
'great emninence and usefulness in th
church, and will be held in loving re
miembitranice for generations to conie
somie have already entered upon th
reward( of their labors, while others ar
sandinig in the front ranks, in thr
ridnst of the conflict. It is therefor
beomlingfor us, who have entered int
lie enjoyment of the fruits of thei
toil, who are now gathering the riel
harvest of their sowing, to emnbaln
their mremories with the praises whiiel
they so justly deserve.
Thle congr~eg ation of Luther Chape
was organxizedl and was first served b;
Rev. TIhaddeus S. Boinest. Rev. Boini
e'st was born in the city of Charleston
S. C., on the 17th of December, 18:5
At ain early age he was confirmied b;
D)r. Bachnluan in St. John's church. B
so oi determined, contrary to the wishe
and adlvice of some of his friends, t
conusecrate2 himiself to the work of thr
mriniistry. Prof. N. J. Rivers, of th
University of South Carolina, a
Columibia~ consented to aid himi in li
preparaitiorn by giving hinm lessons an
lectures at night, while he plied li
trade by day. He entered the Classica
anid Thieological Seminary, at Lexing
ton, S. C., in 1847, under the tutorshi)
of Revs. W. Berly and Dr. E. I.
Hazelius. He graduated with hono
and wasg licensed to preach the Gospe
at a synod held at Ebenezer, Ga.
November 11th, 18.51. He entered uf
his ministerial duties at once and b2
amie piastor of a charge in Newberr;
('otutv. It was on the 10th of July
1S>3, that he organized the congreg
ion of Luther Chapel in the co)ur
house of Newberry. It was a pleasur
a few days ago to'see the diary of Rex
Boiest,~ini which the following entr;
wvas made for Sunday, July 10th, 1853:
"Preached iin the morning in the cour

was Irganized, who were to call and
interview the Doctor, and if
he should declare himself unfavor
able to secession, they were to
expel him fron the State. Being
apprised by a personal friend of
the ~danger which threatened him, "At
five o'clock of the same day, when all
the professors and students had assem
bled in the college chapel for the cus
tonary evening prayers, Dr. Brown,
very pale, but with a look of firm deter
initiation, arose and told the audience
of the notice he had received, and said
3 that he then and there would antici
pate an interview on-the part of a com
mittee. He then said he was born in
the Union, reared in the Union, and
hoped to die in the Union; that his
sympathies were unequivocally with
the Federal government, and that he
proposed to resign as president of the
I college, return to his native State, and,
> if necessary, join the ranks in defense
of the Union. This soon spread
through the tuwn and the effect on the
,people was electric. Mr. Johnstone,
chancellor of the State of South Caro
lina, and a firm friend of Dr. Brown,
offered to take him quietly to a small
station nine miles front New berry, and
I to send his family by the next train.
D)r. Br'own dleclined. Hie said1 that lie
Ihad comile to South Carolina opelyl and
wvithiout ''ear, and lhe poiposedl to leave
Sin the samte manner. Fortunately he
I was able tto do this, with the assistance
, tf several personal frientds, w ho acconi
L panied himt to the depot, ats a sort of
Sbody-gzua rd, among whom, I believe,
- our beloved Dr. O. B. 1ayer, Sr. was
t)lone. It shiouild be said, hiowever, that
Dr. Brown, while hirm and fearless in
I his political views, was not bitter in his
assertion of themt. I am told t hat when
summone(d to assist in gtaarding the town
Cat night against an apprehecnded insur
f rection oft the negroes, he always served,
Sbut when lie and D)r. Brantly, pastor
i f the Baptist church here theni, hapt
,penmed to be on (duty totgether, they
I woutld spend the night ini discussing,
Stheology antd ,literature.
f A fter somei yearis Of service aischp
htain in the Northern army, D)r. Brown
- was elected to the chair of Didactic
.Thieology, andt ch airman: i of the faculty
Sin the theological semiinatry of the Gen
Seral Synotd at (iettysburg. He arose to
Sgreat distiinction, and htee:tnie nott only
Ii th iost ptrtminen t n1(iember of thle

t(n the night of D)ecember It, 187t, lie
I was sudd(enily sttrickeni with paralysis,
which deprived hint otf the power' of
I sech~ and lie use of his right armi. I
: was then a studlent in the college at

,the sad initelligence of the stroke spread
.through the town. HeI never fully
Srecovered, and died on ,June 19th, 18$',
at Lancaster, Pa.
3 W\hile ])rs. Storik aind Browvn were
> pa tor f this church, D r. Stork always
Spreachled in the mortning, antd Dr.
SBrsown at night. D)r. S-totrk was an
t eloiuent, pathectic, ptoptuir preacher,
and his conIgregattionis were alwvays
i rowded. Dr. Brown was more pro
s found, logicail, and no less forcible
preacher, but was not so pop)ular wXithi
the masses. Both were great men, and
though their ministry here was brief,
.their presence, work, and intluenice ae
r conmplishied iiot a little in making the
I hurch of Luther Chapel what it is.

Rev. J. Hawkins, D. D., thea pastor
at Beth Eden, six miles from New

Wingard, in 1871. After the resigna

Kuhns, ). D., of Omaha, Nebraska,
was elected. He was pastor from 1872
to 1878. He was very popular, and ac
comtplished much fOr the enureb, and
the removal of the college to New
berry. By a wise investment in lands
at l)inaba, before coning to Newberry,
and which have wonderfully inereased
in value in the last few years, Dr.
Kuhns has becone very rich. A con
nittee should now be appointed to
wait on him to solicit not less than
$2,000 as a thank-offe ring for the fact
that he was for six years pastor of this
church.
I)r. Kuhns was succeeded in 1878 by
Rev. S. P. Hughes, now of Villians
port, Pa. Before, however, Mr. Hughes
entered upon his duties as pastor, the
church was supplied by Rev. G. W.
Holland, Ph. D., D.D.
Mr. Hughes was succeeded by Rev.
J. Steck, D. I).; Dr. Steck by Rev. A.
B. 3IcMackin; Rev. MeMackin by the
present efficient and successful pastor,
Rev. W. C. Schaeftfer, formerly of
Richmond, Va.
At the close of this sketch of the pas
tors, Rev. W. C. Schaeffer, the present
pastor, spoke of "Our Church, Present
and Future."
His address was replete with en
couragenent to the congregation and
presented in good style what should be
the ideal church and urged the present
congregation to ever keep in ther mind
this ideal church and strive to attain it.
At the close of the address a thank
offering was made which is~to serve as
the nucleus of a fund for the erection of
a new church building. About $70 was
realized.
The occasion was a pleasant one, and
we think very much enjoyed by the
congregation present.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
A Big Day at W angt.,n'y-The Candidates
Out in Force.
The county canp.ign as mapped out
by the Executive Committee was
openedl at Wadlington'ls on Tnesday. I t
was our pleasure to be present. The
cainlidates were out in full force.
(o. \V. -i. Ilunt. cur county chair
11111, acte(l as ebairnnoi'ii of the mlleeting
and initroduucel the rpeazkers. ii his
introductory address he urged the im
portanet of harmony within the ranks
and showe(l the utter uselessness of bad
feeling or unpleasattness in the county
canvass. In this lie agrees in toto with
The leral(d and News.
On this occasion everything seemed
to be pleasant and agreeable andii much
enjoyed by all lresent. There were
only about eighteen speeches during
thet day and the speakers had good at
tention. The carluidiates all favor an
agricultural college separate and dis
tinct and do not hesitate to say so. The
"annex'' was '.rn Ilown antd swallowwed
by the college. Col. Miller, we beli ve,
did speak against the agricultural col
lege business, but then you know he is
not a can(lidate. All the candidates for
Legislative honors spoke and also the
candidates for school comunissioner.
When we left Mr. John Bass, candidate
for coroner, was speaking.
The good people endured it all with
out a murmur. Messrs. T. W. Keitt
and T. W. Hutchison had a magnifi
cent barbecue dinner and plenty for all.
We enjoyed the dinner very nuch.
This is a fine section of country. They
have had good rains the past few days
and we were very much surprised to
see the crops looking so well. 'T'he
crops from Newberry to Wadlington's
are in good condition, and as good as
you could expect to find theni.
