He graduared from the t'nivorfiity of Pennsylvania, and ’return­ ing home, was elected Prof. of Langua­ ges in Columbia College.

In 1848 the members living in Xenia and vicinity petitioned Presbytery, for a dis­ tinct organization which was granted. The.Xenia congregation took off fifty •members, They immediately made a call upon Dr. McMillan, who was then living in Xenia, to become their pastor. After mature deliberation he declined to give up hi* connection with the cld con­ gregation, He removed to Cedarville where he continued to reside till his work in the church militant was done and he was taken to Ids reward, October 9th, 1860. In 1863 the congregation determined to pull down the brick church and re­ build it in Cedarville, that being a more Chester District, S, C., In 1821. He was married in 1822 to Mary Ann McCiurg of Pittsburg, and was the father of three children, two of whom died in infancy. • He was a man of great vigor and ability. His antipathy to slavery soon- made his position untenable, and as pre­ viously Stated, hfc emigrated to Greene county with nearly all his congregation. Asa religious leader,he exerted an in­ fluence impressing itself more crad- icahly upon the character of the people. His fame as an educator was wide spread. For many years he conducted an academy where young men were pre- pared for college, ordirectly for active life, He was a Professor in the R , p . Seminary at Philadelphia^and a trustee of Miami University!, He died with hi* armor on and was buried in Massits Creek Cemetery, on the very spot where his pulpit had stood , Mr. Reid, writ­ ing at the time of the vacancy, expressed BI5V.

Cedarville College, chartered in 1837, opened its doors in 1891 under the auspices of the R, P . General Synod. Started primar­ ily to furnish theological students, it soon proved a valuable help in the local religious work of the congregation and ha* since maintained that position stead­ ily. The present church building was be­ gun in 1901 and dedicated tn 1903, at a cost of $22,000, seven times as much as the cost of the preceding one. The pres- ent is indicated by the modern structur­ al design, while as links with the pr.st are. the memorial tablet to Dr. Hugh McMillan, the memorial window to Dr. MoitOn, and the memorial window to Robert Charlton Reid, presented by his Son, the Hon, Whitelaw Reid. After the death of Dr. Morton, May, 31,1904, the pulpit was vacant for a year during which time Rev. Prof. W» R . McChesney ot th e ' college, performed the duties of pastor. Rev. Albert Barnes Henry, the next pastor, was born and reared in Kansas, and secured his pre­ liminary education in the public and high schools of Clay Center. After teaching school a year he entered Mon­ mouth, College, where he was graduated in 1896. He was graduated from the Philadelphia Seminary in 1900, ordained by Philadelphia Presbytery, and. placed in charge of the Second R . P . church of that city. H is, pastorate in .Cedarville lasted from 1904 to 1906, being termina­ ted by a call from the Kensington Pies- byterian church of Philadelphia. Again Prof. McChesney was placed in pastoral* charge, this time for two year*. Rev, Mills J. Taylor, the present in­ cumbent, was bom in Reeseville, Ohio, May 6, 1879, removed to Iowa, where he attended school and academy, graduated from Monmouth College in 1905, and from Xenia U, P„ Seminary in 1903, and was ordained by the Washington Pres­ bytery. He was installed in Cedarville, September, 1908. He was married jo Martha Dill, J u n e ll, 1908, The congregation today has about 230 members, The auxiliary societies spread the influence ot the church much more widely. The Sabbath School, once looked upon.with *u*picion has become; prosperous, and boast* 170 members. The old feeling of distrust at the intro­ duction of innovation*, and of anger at the laying aside of. ancient relics, ha* been relegated to oblivion. The precen­ tor and the token, are no more, and while the fast day and the communion table can be seen only With the mind’s eye, we hope that the spiritual is triumphant over that which is seen, and that the banner of the covenant will continue to wave, victorious over the hosts of evil.
