Among the first! of these preaching stations to be started was at Glifloq, in the vicinity of which a’few of tlie members and adherents of these con* gregations resided* and it was-so rep ognized at the organization of Bpring- field Preshytery Whtch~Wns effected on Bept. 4, 1839. .. f -This station,-did«not give promise of development into,- any organization without the help of some other local­ ity, ahd never' made any efforts to have Sa independent organization.- The-families living in tbe~>iCinity of Oedarville'who were connected with thp congregations o f Springfield ahd Xenia, together vdth some who were favorable to the A, R, church, began about this time to petition for preach­ ing. Their efforts were unsuccessful fOr some-time. At length by invita­ tion they received the labors -for half time o f the Revs/.W, /f , Fiudley and Joseph Pressly, during the summer of 1843and the following-winter. These men were 'missionaries' sent by the General Synod. ■ The first seraion preaehed by an A. R, minister in Cedarvilie was iri the early summer of 1843, by Key, W. T.-Findley in the stone school house up the Columbus pike a quarter ofa mile north of the village. After this the plftce of worship was iu different places,,,, Sficobd place « « V m &. mv odlUUl uiuml xiit itiv Yellow Springs road abQut two roileB from Cedarvilie, then by tho favor of M .'R brethren their church WaS used ‘for a time,'and finally.in the. Baptist church, .which they~Teiited for three' years, agreeing to put in pews and pulpit, which they did m the summer of 1844, and occupied the same until their owh new church^was completed, The labors of these two moat excel­ lent men; (botlu of whom, afterward won-the title of D. D ) proved suc­ cessful inibspiriug the people.living here with renewed zeal in seeking an organisation. The first' petitionfor an .organization was from the “citizens Of Clifton, Cedarvilie and vicinities,” and was presented to Presbytery on Sept. 15,. 1843. TI hb whs referred to- the 2nd Synod, and on Sept. 28 that Synod took up the matter and, having created considerable discussion wheth­ er the location should be at Clifton or Cedarvilie, laid the whole matter on the table until the next year. When the matter again came up on Oct. 11, 1844, tho Synod was t mnimoua and ordered the organization of the con­ gregation at Cedarvilie, and trans­ ferred Dayton from the Presbytery of 1st Ohio to that of Springfield so that it might be united with Cedarvilie in oue pastoral charge. In the mean­ time, tho General Synod, whose ju ­ risdiction was'oyer the Second Synod, at Its meeting in Hamilton, Ohio, in May 25, 1844, recognized Cedarvilie as a mission, station to fie supplied in connection with Dayton and appoint­ ed Rev. James Buchanan to preach at these places during the summer of 1854. The'committee appointed by the Presbytery to effect the organization Consisted of Rev. C. T. McOaughan, as moderator (he now resides at Wic- terset, Iowa) with Rev. John M. <Jot don' as his alternate and elders John Nichol, David Reynolds, Anthony Bird, Bobt. M. .Kendall and Robt. Gowdy.

A h tffective Prescription. 1 Tlie Cincinnati Post tells of a sim­ ple but wonderfully effective cure for .the blues, or blue devils as they are sometimes called. Blues are a kind of disease aud if allowed fo “ run on” Will kill. Medicine won’t touch them, Blues, if you only knew it, are the forerunner of many fatal disease#, women in Cedarvilie affected like the man in the tale: A man went, to a great physician aud asked for a cure for mental de­ pression, a disease which is very com­ mon and is better known a# “ the bjues.” Now Ibis physician was very wise. He knew that the. blues means that persons center their mind# on them* scives. They think of their own trou­ bles, their debts, their domestic aud, business cares,; of a •thousand irrita­ ting things that grow like poisonous Weeds the more they are nurtured in the mind. So this Wi#4 physician wrote a pre­ scription arid ushered the soher-faced on4 out. The depressed man hastened to a drug store, for Im was exceedingly ‘•blue,” and there handed the pre scription to a clerk, remarking gruf­ fly, “ fill that iri a hurry.” The clerk read the prescription, and, WithA laugh, handed it back, and there in plain English was written: “Laugh at least twenty times daily, and always before retiring” * This man of the blues looked a t the words dumbly for an instant, and then laughed, and as he laughed the dull care that had been resting like a cloud on his brain seemed -to grow lighter, aud he laughed some more. He muttered something about “clever trick,” and left the store and on his way back to his office he actually and—-i it here’s the story and no l whistled, something he hadn’t done for doubt there are hundreds of toen and years, 'Back at his desk, he buckled down to work, still laughing. The world seemed changed. From an indefinite somewhere be had secured, a new stock of energy. He cracked a joke with the head clerk and instead of discharginga bungling employee, gave him some words of encouragement and advice and another trial. • He actually enjoyed his lunch. The food lasted good, and he was hungry. He went home with ft laugh and didn’t groan about business worries at the dinner table. He told bis wife of the interesting things that he had seen aud heard downtown that day, and when she smiled at him from behind the tea urn he remembered that she was a very handsome woman, and that he was a lucky dog to get her, He glanced through the evening paper, read aloud a little, romped with the children awhile, went to bed with a laugh, And slept like a baby, ■■ Try it for the blues. I t is ft cute founded on science, Your .physician wiU tell you that laughter is exercise —that it stimulates digestion, move* muscles hy the dozen, quickens the1 circulation of the blood, helps the liver. He will tell you that persons who laugh much seldom look their years, for mirth is an invigorator, as well as a health preserver.
