It was a trying time for church union in that human nature composed differences in which all could not a- gree. Moreover the fires o f discontent over the issue o f temperance and slavery were'simmering. The latter became a political issue and with many members who came from the south their sympathy ?ame to the sur­ face. So bitter was the issue between the factions that a petition was pre­ sented to Presbyterjf asking for a second Cedaryille Congregation. This was denied and the controversy re­ sulted in the resignation o f the pastor, Rev. James Park Wright, One o f the outstanding features of the frame building was the square bel­ fry about fifteen feet high with a zinc covered roof like an iron kettle turn­ ed upside down. At this time the church was the largest in town, and the bell, the first in the village was hung in January 1847. Increased seating capacity was. necessary for the year previous Judge Kyle with a family of seven boys* and four girls had to be provided for-. Then John Turnbull with six boys and three girls, and a Mr. Gowdy had eight or nine boys and this family always” ’marched into church single file. • . Passing many interesting events of church history over a period of years we now find ourselves where the con­ gregation 1desired a more modern building. A congregational meeting August 2, 1886 was called and Rev. A; M. Campbell, the pastor, W. Martin Barber, and J. W. Pollock. were named to solicit contributions for a $10,000 structure. From this time-on until March 21, 1887, it was an effort o f funds and plans but at a subsequent congregational meeting the cost of the building was held to $8,000, instead of the original amount. Jt was on February, 8, 1888 a con­ tract was made with A. J. Elrick & Son, local contractors, and members o f the congregation, to erect the build­ ing on a bid o f $8,152.49, exclusive of excavating for basement, the windows and furnishings. The old frame structure of which you have heard much about in this review was moved to the west side o f the lot where the congregation worshipped. The. new building was not completed in the time required but was used uncomplet­ ed for a time and then was dedicated November 17, 1889. The entire cost of the church was $11,000. The de­ dicatory sermon \yas by Dr. Joseph Kyle. Springfield. The debt at that time was $1,000 and lit response to a call pledges were made to wipe out' the debt with $420 *additional. We must not overlook that the first church bell, the one in the old frame building, hangs in the, belfry , of the present building. The building com­ mittee was composed jOf J- W. Pol­ lock, W. Martin Barber, Samuel Tar- box, Robert McCatnpbell* Alex Turn- bull and James Holmes. Having reached the time when the congregation was enjoying the com­ fortable home there was little over the period o f years o f historical interest in connection with the building we pass on to March 20; 1898, when the congregation extended a call to Rev. F. O. Ross. He was installed Aug. 2,1898. During this pastorate the interior of the church was remodeled and fres­ coed at a cost o f $1,300, and the par­ sonage improved in 1901 at a cost o f $700. The congregation established a new record of meeting the improve­ ment to the church without reducing other church financial obligations. At this time the balcony was opened and completed. The frescoing was by Louis Syberkrop & Son, Creston, Iowa. As “ Time and Tide Await No Man," we must leaf the pages o f congrega­ tional history and but mention that growth o f the congregation and need for additional'Sabbath School room, as well as dining and kitchen facilities for entertainment o f the church we now have reached a period of church history familiar with the aver­ age member today. By congregational action the mem­ bership voted for the construction of the new addition at the rear during 1927-28! Also the time had arrived when interior improvements were necessary. Both were the result o f gifts o f two members who have passed to their reward, Mr. and Mrs. James H. An­ drew, to Whose memory wo pay honor today in connection with the obser­ vance o f the fiftieth anniversary o f the erection o f the present church home* The pipe organ was the gift of Mr. Andrew and was installed pre­ vious to his death. The dining room was partly financed from funds left under the will o f Mrs. Andrew. This condensed historical sketch is a record of which the congregation has reason to be proud. It is a record more or less complete brought dowil to the pastorate o f the Rev. O. H, Milligan, D.D., who was installed Tuesday, January 12* 1904, and is with tts today, the only living ex-pastor o f the congregation, It is the end o f Volume One. History of the congregation has been in the making since 1904 and .who is there to write Volume Number Two? Men and women endowed with the true Christian devotion have con­ tributed their part to what some day will he the second volume of this church history o f the Cedarviile United Presbyterian congregation. May we ask ourselves as did Historian Ross in the dosing or 60th installment o f his history: “ Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets do they live forever?” They have completed their work, they have left us the inheritance o f their achievements. They have left us a challenge, the same challenge accept­ ed by the author o f the First Volume. Who will carry on? The second vol­ ume should be completed for the com­ ing celebration o f the 100th anniver­ sary qot so far distant. QUEEN ESTHER ________ I The Misses Ann Smith and Martha Ann McOuinn entertained the Queen Eslhet at Miss Martha Ann McGuinn’s home, Wednesday evening, with fifteen members .present.
