The mortgage was not road to her tit the time she signed it but she was assured by Williamson it was ail right that it contained sudh reser­ vations.- The mortgage was found to be silent as to reservation.

HistoryoftheU, P.Church of Cedarville, Ohio. REV. 1?. O. ROSS. On May 15th, 1848,"Samuel Kyle presented'“ tokens” to the sessiou for the use of the congregation. Previous to that date they had been borrowed from other congregations, -These tokens were usually small tablets of lead, Very often made by running tbe metal into molds of home manufac­ ture. They generally had tlm initials b fth e imme of the congregation on one side and the lettbra j ’L. S,” on the reverse side, to denote “Lord’s Supper,” Those used -in this congre­ gation wore of various shapes, round, oblong, square, octagonal and irregu­ lar. -Some bear no mark or initial, while others have stamped upon them the single letter *‘M,” and still others have the letter “ Z.” What was meant by these letters, no one no„w living seems able to tell. These were distributed . to the members just after services ou the S tu rd ily preceding .the communion Sabbath, and were taken up when the cominuuicauts. were seated at the ta­ bles. On Ju ly 28, 1853,. the order of re­ ceiving the tokens was changed so that the communicants could give their tokens to the, session as they passed by them on their way to the table, fhey were used in this congregation from its organization until sonietimec iu 1864 or 1865, and then their Use ceased rather by accident. Preaoluug ser.vices.were sometimes -held a t Yel­ low Springs, as a mission station, un­ der care of this congregation, in* the first part of Rev. J* H . Buchanan’s pastorate. An organisation was ef­ fected there in 1852, which struggled for existence for a time, being cared for by the neighboring pastors, and finally dropped from the roils in 1859. Communion services were afterwards conducted there under tbe direction of the Cedarville session to accommo­ date some members Jiving in that vicinity. During the la tte r p a rt oi ihe year 1864 a communion service was held there and the sack of tokens was taken over for ihe meeting. By some oversight they were left there. When the lima for Communion a t (<e dsrvilie came' again, the pastor and elders assembled before the pulpit after the service on Saturday to give out the tokens. Orie Of the elders opened the drawer in the table where they were kept, hut, Lo! they were not there,.' There- were quick, anxious glanftes cast by the members of session a t each other, aud it was decided to tell the plain fact and the predicament that they were in, so the pastor an­ nounced that the tokens had been for­ gotten And left a t Yellow Springs, and with a wave of his hand ho said, “ I t is only a form now anyway,” The congregation was dismissed, with the benediction and the tokens were never used again in the congregation, What became of them was a mystery for ftiahy years. When the old frame ehm h was dismantled along in the autumn of 1883, the eapk of tokens He received a telephone was found by the trustees, i t the old message from Clifton today that Oafthrde&k that stood in front of the pulpit, | were being distributed which bear-hi#} where thftjr had Hfiri hidden away for almost a quarter of a century, Pre sumably they had been brought from Yellpw Bprings after their use Had ceased, and had been thrown there ns Useless rubbish. When they were found they were regarded as quite a curiwsity. 'Each of .the trustees- took one or two as a relic, and the remain­ der, about 150, were taken by 8; K, Williamson, who was chairman of the board, and he still has about fifty oj them iu his possession. As soon.as it was known that they had been found, there was a demand for them as keep- eafces. They have been, sought by the members of the congregation who have moved awuy, and-by the sons of the congregation who .have entered the ministry, until there is not one- third of the original number left. Bo passed away one of the time hon­ ored* customs of the -church. Iu its day regarded as ou'e of the essentials of worship; it's observance contended for with neroio zeal equal to .that for the iutegrity of the Scriptures and its discontinuance considered a violation of a-D ivine injunction, yet its use censed with Us necessity, and without any o f the disasters predicted. To day the use of the token, is^fio far yeb. egated to the past that Its'h isto ry and its purpose, together with the col­ lections of them that -are extant, be­ long. to the'historian, the antiqunriuu uud the numismatist, The Sabbath services nt first con­ sisted of two sermons with an interval of about a halt hour between them during the summer months, and only oue serinon ,during the winter, Duriug the Am pastorate,- a Bible class was conducted by the, pastor, iu which he-was the only teacher. This was introduced in place of the second sermou, and the class- contained, all fthe children and youth o f the, congre­ gation, who occupied the front pews of the church, while their parents and the older members qf the congregation took the back seats and were Bpectu tors. This Bible class ceased with ,the death’of the pastor. On Oct 2,1848, the session decided to.huVe •the Bible class revived at once', as it had been in the former pastorate, and made, ar rangements to have it organized into a Sabbath school ns soon as possible. This WHS.done and the pastor was sole teacher and ’ officer. In the . early spring of the. next year (X849), the school was organized into classes with Rev. J . H Buchanan as superintend­ ent. One of the first teachers was J F . Frazier and he, soon after tbe organization, was chosen as the super­ intendent, which office he held for over eleven yenre, when he removed his membership to Clifton- congrega­ tion. H e came back into' the congre­ gation in 1868 and was superintendent for about four years longer, retiring in 1872. The 8 . 8* lessobs of that day were taken from the “ Union Catechism Book;” which was a collection of ques tiona and answers on the four Gospels. After the organization of the school, it was carried ftn during the winter, thus furnishing the two Services throughout the year. The school W«s continued uninterruptedly from its organization to the present date aud is uoW rounding ou t its fifty-third year.
