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 house fromi Heb. ix: 12. Int the after noon attended the Baptist church. A night, preached in the Methodist fror 1s 'rriv: 18-stayed at Nat ha Hunter's ; organized congregattiorn c Luther Chapel." After serving th congregation a while as pastor, he r signed that lhe might serve Bethleher ani othier churches, thenx under hi care, mxore faithfully. He was pastor Bethlehem niineteen years. A bout th close of the war he becamie presidenit< the Inunigration Society of South Cai olinia, an'd from that time till hii death, rendered services in that capa~ it y that made him one oif the most us( furl and prominent men in the Statt Hei wans p)residlenit of the South Carolirn '-ynodt four years con secutively, frol 1%5* to 1%L.

His first tcharges were inl I;::ltimiore, Ytork, and lte:lilng, Pa., reiiiailiing at the latter place nearly tell years. 1In 1elruary, 1859, he left Realing to become Professor of 'heologV :aid Aiieint I.aiguaages it Newtberry ('(ollege, :tn(l inl 1s0 he was elected p)resident of the College, in ilace of Dr. Stiork, who1( had re.i!gn('d. l'p(11 the lreakin!g out of the civil war, the ( stronig U nintti selititneilts entertaIinedl by )r. I>rcwn, were knotwi to those u ihst favored seceesioll, and a body of "lliiu'te Met," as they were called. 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.

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. ,And niow, the timte aliotted to his adi - dress adnionishies mec to be brief.

The last feiv years tof his life wer_e pauissd as - astor of several chmurces in Lexing I tonl county, in connectioun with the Tennessee'Synod. He died of heart f disease in Chiarlestont, S.

'Ihe pla stors who suceeeded Dr. Snelt zer are all living; hence as full a state Itlt of their lives will not be giccn. Rev. J. Hawkins, D. D., thea pastor at Beth Eden, six miles from New herry, served this congregation for a few months, preaching in the after 110x11. le was succeeded by Rev. H. S. Wingard, in 1871. After the resigna tion of Mr. Wingard. Rev. H1. W. 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. Helena Heraldings. AIrs. Jane Coate, Miss Flora Mere dith and Miss Beulah Greneker were appointed delegates, last Sunday after noon, with Misses Mamie Scott and Lizzie Zobel and Mr. Arthur Kibler as alternates, to represent the Helena Sunday-school at the approaching con vention at New Chapel church.
