ROSS. Rev. J. P. Wright was Installed in 1856- Supplies Were Sent From Oxford Seminary After Rev, Bu­ chanan’s Removal.' After the removal of Mr, Buchanan the congregation wae supplied for a few months by the students of the Oxford, Ohio, Theological Seminary, among whom were Revs. W, IT FrJstiey, David Morrow and W, C. McCone, After the close of the Sent iirary term, these young men got ap­ pointments elsewhere and candidates Verc s?nt to the congregation, Among thaincidents in the history of .the congregation, at this tinie avo are,in­ debted to Rev. H» P. Jackson (who is a son of the congregation) for the following; , “ Abbut the year 1855, Rev, W. C. McTune, then a licentiate and a stu­ dent in the Theological Seminary nt that time located a t Oxford, Ohio, received an appointment to p reach to the, congregation which was Without a pastor. s,A large audience gathered to hear him. H e entered the pulpit, went through the' preliminary exor­ cises and announced his text. He had written and memorized his sermon. His introduction- leading up to. his theme was excellent. . H e divided his sermon into three heads and proceeded to discuss the firat head o f his dts course, but had no t recited a dozen sentences till he suddenly halted, Hia irmnnseript had left his mind. He stood silent for a few moments, and then opened the Rs.ilnt hook artd read, tin; first verse o f the 13lst Fsalm, which did seem inappropriate to a t . hast some n t his audience that day. Here are the words o f the Realm which he'read and requested the con gregntion to sing; ‘My heart not haughty is, 0 Lord, Mine, eyes not lofty ha, For do I deal in matters great, Or things too high for me/ "After singing these words, he arose and said in great humiliation that stirred. up deep sympathy for him in the hearts ,of hk audience? 'My brethren, I ask sincerely an in­ k-rest in your prayers, and I will try to preach to you again/ Several weeks after that ho came hack arid preached with great freedom and power. His mortifying experience teemed to have lieen made H blessing to ii?m« A dozen years or worn after this he was before the General Assem­ bly at Xenia on trial fir heresy, and anyone hearing his masterful defense of himself-in that highest ecelerim* deal court, would scarcely hate he .Moved that he was the same malt who .'failed' at Cedarville/’ The congregation was served in this way by different men tintil sometime 5» June, 3855, th e ft R e t.

The conditions of Ike congregation pi*vimis to Ida c titling h«d not been the most healthful. There Is no Wo hid of aseiwkm metting for an *«tir* year after the resignation o f ' Rev. J H . Buchanan, and theft the meeting was caljed. to consider the'Spiritual interests of the-congregation. -At this meeting,- which was held pa August 10,1855, the following preamble'and resolution, was unanimously passed; " I n view of the chastening band’of God upon this *congregation,, in the division; alienation and separation, and w a n t' of confidence existing amongst us, session deem it their duty to appoiut a day of fasting, hu­ miliation and prayer prior to our ap­ proaching communion, Therefore ■ “ Resolved, tha t Friday next (Au­ gust 17th) be hereby appointed a day of tasting, humiliation and prayer ia this congregation, with special refer ence to healing these divisiSm,’' f , Th,e day ,o t prayer wa&yluly nb served and it seems with great spirit­ ual profit, for a t the communion ser­ vice immediately following there' was a n . accession of nine new fnembVrp, and shortly after the "communion, a call was moderated iu the congrega­ tion for Rev.

The call was moderated in fcieptem- ber, 1855, and wm presented to Pres­ bytery On April 9,1850. I t was sus­ tained,, was accepted by Mr. Wright and he was installed on the same day.

The A rt Metal Company’ is the lowest- bidder, al­ though I am not .able to give you the exact figures, but for the benefit of the public diaregardless of what that ‘organization sheet’ may say, I say that the last named company is the lowest, 'for any man with common sense that know# A from JB could tell1 it. Everything is tabled and made perfectly simple. Mr. Bull, you are right in your opposition to such a move, and I say lor tho taxpayers' of tliis county that the three men already holdhig out For the A rt Metal Com- jjpny caft do nothing lietter than con­ tinue the fight, i f . the house isn't fin­ ished iu a year.

I t shocks me to think that the county commissioners, as represents tiviw o f the people, would permit such a thing.

He says it i.s uo wonder the good peo­ ple of Uedarvilic wanted to take the hooks aWay from such a place. He stated farther that the place had *i| the known devices for looting the pockets of honest citizens. With the proprietor's two sentinels on duty, he claims it is an impossibility for an Officer to find such work going on, How, have we men in this town with hearts bard enough to ask law-abiding citizens to aupport a ticket whether school hoard, township, corporation, or county, made ou t by the proprie­ tor of the ‘sink’ and his crowd?’* The local primary election is draw­ ing near and the statement has been made in our hearing that it will be impossible to d “eat the crowd's ticket for they are to control the polls, Voters, you have a Bay as to who controls affairs o f your town and township and we ask that you arrange to be a t tho polls on that day to ' catt Compliments of F.

T. B Wire, now of Perry, Lake county,. Is (lie man who called, the' farmers and others to take part in the-exererses of the day. Col. B. D, Harris, the pioneer Agricut* turnl'editor in Ohio, was one of the chief speakers, as was also Hon. X. E. French, Mr, Carter of Perry, M, V. Miller and others. The meetings- were kept up in Jefferson for twenty years, and then died out owing to three or four other Institutes in the county, but-they Were good and very useful while they lasted. Ex-Presi* dent Hayes Was the Speaker at'one of our Institutes, ami delivered, a most interesting address On manual train­ ing iu/echople. , The country which the Little Miami Road—now the Pan-IIandle—passes through is the richest, both in soil and money, in Ohio. In Clark and Madison counties, the soil cannot be excelled in quality and crops seldom fail, although in 1900 that Section had no more wheat tlum wc did. About Selma there are a good many Quakers, all good farmers. The Farms are large,' which makes the country population rather sparse. In ­ deed in the vicinity of Sou tii Charles-’ ton there arc not enotigh of a rural pop­ ulation to warrant the establishment of rural free delivery and the district schools are so small they are -moving in the direction of centralized schools, hoping to accomplish that object the coming year.

Now, Mr, Editor, wc have had no hand in politics and, we are. sorry to say, were ignorant as to the workings- of this appropriately named “ political, sink /' We have heard rumors, of ‘ some doings of this establishment in matters pertaining to the town and eounfy, but not in regard to our-pub­ lic schools. ‘ By inquiry we have not only found yolir charncterization-of them to have been correct, but the half had not- been told. I t now becomes clear that an effort, has been-made by this “ po­ litical sink" to dictate the policy and - even to select the books that are to be, studied by our youth. We are also told .that a move is on foot to repeat the scenes of last spring, when money was freely used to influence the board to do the will of this “ im­ aginary” leader, ’ But thabks to those members o f our Softool boayd Who were not hyp- , notized by that “ barrel o f fluence” or'&omething else, .in the back room. Our schools have in a measure re­ mained free frdm the contaminating influence o f disgruntled politicians. Now, Mr. Ed ito r,-I want to con­ gratulate you on the stand you have taken for-pure government, local and county, but above «U for the purity of oiir public schools. The public schools are the bulwark of the nation, Here it is that the youth must first feel the inspiration toward future use­ fulness. Here it la that a doting father and loving mother first entrust their children to the Cate o f hands outside the home, Here it is that the idol o f the home and the hope of de- clinining years must be taught the lessons of morality that molds tho character, which gladdens the hearts of aged parents. This institution, Mr. Editor, reffeote ottr own character. If it is allowed to decay our‘children must ever hold . us responsible. As we look up to the public school system o f to-day, we ieVere the memory o f Our fitehersfor the rich inheritance they have left us. Now may our actions ever be sUoh that our children shall have causa to blesfijjj.be memory of their fathers.
