PREFACE. 
 
 With the exception of only two or three, the interest- 
 ing histories of the churches which are here presented 
 have been prepared by their respective pastors expressly 
 for this book. As to the arrangement of the subject mat- 
 ter, we have placed the denominations in alphabetical 
 order. We sincerely regret the inability to secure the 
 two or three photographs that are omitted, but it is no 
 fault of the publishers. 
 
 We trust that any slight errors may be generously 
 overlooked, since they are not due to any lack of pains- 
 taking care.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 This book is something entirely new for Lexington. 
 Although many churches publish occasionally, each for 
 itself, a manual or directory, giving some of these facts 
 for the use of their own members, yet the combining 
 of all these together so that the members of all the Protest- 
 ant bodies may readily learn about one another is an 
 entirely new plan and will prove to be a great success. 
 Aside from the great convenience of such a volume there 
 are higher ends to be secured. We are members, in all 
 these churches, of one another; our aims are common; 
 our methods vary and we can learn much from each 
 other. There is also great practical value to a city, grow- 
 ing as this does, in holding up the beginning of things 
 and the course of history in the churches. The stranger 
 can inform himself in a few moments as to the story of 
 the church into which he has come from another com- 
 munity. 
 
riRST BAPTIST CHUPCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 By Rev. W. M Pratt, D. D. 
 
 The present First Baptist Church of Lexington was 
 constituted in 1817. George W. Ranck, in his History 
 of Lexington, page 119, gives the following account: 
 "In that year (1817), on the 4th of January, a number of 
 its (Town Fork) scattered members assembled and re- 
 organized the church, with the assistance of Elders Toler, 
 Jacob Creath, sen., and Jeremiah \ardeman; Berry 
 Stout being moderator and Samuel Ayers, clerk." On 
 the church list of members about that time, we find, 
 among others, the names of James Trotter, R. Higgins, 
 William C. Wartield, Walter Warfield, W. H. Richardson, 
 W illiam Stone, Matthew Elder, William Payne, Edward 
 Payne, J. H. Morton, J. C. Richardson, Gabriel Tandy, 
 Thomas Lewis, and William Poindexter. The congre- 
 gation met at this time in the chapel of Transylvania 
 University, but immediate steps were taken to build a 
 new house of worship. It was completed and occupied 
 in October, 1819, and located on North Mill street, op- 
 posite the College Lawn. It was a substantial two-story, 
 provided with galleries. 
 
 Immediately after re-organization of the church, Dr. 
 James Fishback, who had just been ordained to the Bap- 
 tist ministry, was called to the pastorate at a salary of 
 $400 per year, a sum considered at that time quite extra- 
 ordinary for a preacher's services. His pastorate ex- 
 tended from 1817 to 1826. A quaint feature of the day 
 was the custom, kept up for a long time, of the Mill 
 Street Church, of giving out hymns line after line. Mr. 
 Ranck furthermore states respecting this first pastor of 
 the church: "In 1826 the influence of the religious 
 movement, headed by Barton ^Stone and Alexander 
 Campbell, caused the introduction of a resolution into the 
 First Baptist Church to change its name to 'the Church 
 of Christ,' which was advocated and opposed by the two 
 parties which had then formed in the church. After a

 long tliscnssion. the party favoring the resolution 
 'swarmed out' under the leadership of Dr. Fishback, 
 and organized the "Church of Christ,' and worshiped 
 in a building now known as the' station, an ofBce on Short 
 street between Upper and Limestone. This church was 
 eventually dissolved, many of the congregation going 
 back to the First Baptist Church, and the remainder con- 
 
 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. 
 
 nected themselves with the body now called the 'Chris- 
 tian Church.* " 
 
 The following is a list of succeeding pastors of the 
 First Baptist Church to the present time: 
 
 Second Pastor — Elder Jeremiah Vardeman, from 
 1827 to 1830, assisted by J. Creath, Jr., in 1828 and 1829. 
 He was a very eloquent and effective preacher and had 
 greater success in revivals than any other minister of his 
 day. • 
 
 In 1834 and 1835 Elder W. C. Buck preached for the 
 church once a month. 
 
 In 1 83 1 J. B. Smith is mentioned as preaching for the 
 church one vear. 
 
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. 7 
 
 In 1832 to 1835 Elder R. T. Dillard was in charge of 
 the church. 
 
 In 1835 to 1839 Elder Silas AI. Noel was pastor. He 
 died j\Iay 5. 1839. He was succeeded by Dr. B. P. Drake, 
 a member of the church, a physician, and set apart to the 
 ministry of the church. 
 
 In 1840 Rev. William F. Broaddus, of Virginia, was 
 called to the pastorate at a salary of $1,500 per year, with 
 the privilege of conducting a young ladies' school. He 
 continued in the pastorate until 1845, when he resigned. 
 He was a very able minister in the pulpit and an excellent 
 teacher. 
 
 In 1845 Rev. W. ]\I. Pratt, D. D., was unanimously 
 invited to take charge of the church for one year, at a 
 salary of $700. 
 
 So, according to contract, he returned, after a tour 
 through Virginia, and commenced his pastorate August 
 I, 1845, expecting to close up and go back at the end of 
 a year. 
 
 The church sent a conunittee each year for seventeen 
 years, to renew the call. The people in this region know 
 whether his labors during this long pastorate were a suc- 
 cess or a failure. He has preached during the pastorate 
 three thousand two hundred and seventy-one sermons; 
 baptized into the fellowship of the church three hundred 
 and eighty-six; two hundred and seven were received by 
 letter, and eighty by relation and restoration, making 
 six hundred and seventy-three additions. Number of 
 members in 1845 two hundred and sixty-nine; number in 
 1863 three hundred and twenty-six. The church con- 
 tinued in great harmony during this period, with very 
 little disturbance. During the period of the civil war it 
 required great prudence to steer the ship of Zion through 
 the troubled waters, but she got through safe and sound. 
 
 In the spring of 1853 the church resolved to erect a 
 new house of worship, and secured a lot with a good 
 dwelling on Mill street, and broke ground for founda- 
 tion the 1st of April. On the 19th of November, 1854, 
 the last services were held in the old meeting house which 
 had been occupied for over thirty years, and the church 
 used the basement of the new church on December 3d, 
 following. The house was not completed for dedication 
 until August 19, 1855. when Drs. S. W. Lynd and R. T. 
 Dillard preached on the occasion to a full house at 11 a. 
 m. and 4 p. m. The cost of the house was $15,000. We 
 raised by subscription $8,296, by collection and subscrip- 
 tion on day of dedication $7g6.yT^, and the contractors al- 
 
8 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 lowed us $2,500 for material of old house, leaving a debt 
 of $110.86 which was subsequently discharged. The 
 church prospered in this new and beautiful house, when, 
 on the night of January 3, 1859, it was burned to the 
 ground. A burning shingle from a stable on fire, on the 
 opposite side of the street, was blown into the cupola and 
 the firemen had not the appliances to reach and put out 
 the fire. The pastor was returning from a trip to Illinois 
 and at Cincinnati was informed of the sad disaster. On 
 reaching Lexington he found his church in great distress 
 on account of the disaster, and it was a number of months 
 before the members could agree upon rebuilding as to 
 the location. A portion was favorable to rebuilding upon 
 the same ground, others regarded the "Old" Baptist grave 
 yard a better place, because of the spacious ground. It 
 was finally agreed that the contribution should decide the 
 matter. This stimulated activity and liberal subscription. 
 More money was subscribed for the grave yard and the 
 others acquiesced. It was not till January i, i860, one year 
 after the fire, the basement was fitted up for worship, and 
 a year later before the auditorium was completed. Dr. D. 
 R. Campbell, of Georgetown, and Rev. George C. Lor- 
 rimer were with us and preached on the occasion. Pre- 
 vious to this the church worshiped sometimes in the old 
 city hall and in the theater and we were all glad to be 
 settled in our new home. About the first of 1863 the 
 pastor resigned his charge, although the annual call was 
 renewed. The reason was this: For a number of years 
 the board of the general association had been located in 
 Lexington, and he had acted as financial secretary of all 
 branches of its work, viz., state, foreign and domestic 
 missions, Sunday-school and colportage, and the duties 
 were so numerous and such a tax on his time he could not 
 do justice to his church as a pastor or to himself under the 
 heavy responsibility resting upon him. The prosperity 
 of the church demanded the whole time of her minister. 
 He advised the church to call Rev. Wm. H. Felix, a 
 young man full of promise of usefulness, and well 
 isquipped by education for the position. The church 
 acted upon his suggestion, and on the 6th of September, 
 1863, Rev. Felix, having accepted the invitation of the 
 church, entered upon the pastorate and continued until 
 May, 1869, when he resigned and settled as pastor of the 
 church at Covington, Ky. During this period of six 
 years the church was increased to four hundred and 
 twenty-five membership. He was much beloved by his 
 
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. 9 
 
 church and respected by the community. He was suc- 
 ceeded by Elder George Hunt, who was pastor for about 
 four years — from 1869 to 1873. Brother Hunt was fol- 
 lowed by L. B. Woolfolk. who continued in the office be- 
 tween four and five years, and he was followed by Elder 
 Lansing Burrows. x\fter him came Elder J. C. Hiden, 
 who was pastoi from 1884 to 1887. In 1887 Elder W. 
 H. Felix was called to the pastorate the second time, and 
 is now closing the tenth year of the second pastorate. 
 When he came to the church in June, 1887, there were 
 four hundred and twenty-five members; now there are 
 over nine hundred, having himself received between six 
 and seven hundred into the church. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 Rev. William H. Felix, pastor of the First Baptist 
 Church of Lexington, was born in Martinsville. Wood- 
 ford county, Ky., October 6, 1838. 
 
 He remained on his father's farm until he was sixteen 
 years of age. In 1855 ^^^ entered Georgetown College 
 and was graduated from that institution in i860. He 
 then took charge of a Baptist church at Newcastle. Henry 
 county, Ky. He was ordained by Dr. Duncan R. Camp- 
 bell, president of Georgetown College. During his first 
 ministry he read law and was admitted to the bar in 1862 
 and practiced law one year in Shelbyville. Ky. 
 
 In 1863. Mr. Felix was called to take charge of the 
 First Baptist Church of Lexington. Ky.. and served until 
 1869. when he received a call from the Pilgrim Baptist 
 Church of New York City, and was pastor of that church 
 for one year. 
 
 In 1870 he accepted a call to the First Baptist Church 
 of Covington, where he remained for fourteen years and 
 resigned in 1884. For two years thereafter he served 
 country churches in order to regain his health. 
 When he came to Lexington in 1887 the church had four 
 hundred and twenty-five members; after his nine years of 
 labor the congregation has grown to over a thousand 
 members. 
 
 Mr. Felix was married in 1861 to Miss Mattie Hay- 
 don, daughter of Thomas Havdon. of Louisville, Ky.

 She died in 1871, leaving four children. Mr. FeHx was 
 married the second time in 1875 ^"^^ ^Y this union one 
 son and one daughter were born. 
 
 There are few men in the ministry whose labors have 
 produced a greater portion of good. Wherever he is 
 known he is greatly loved and respected.

nrTH-5T. BAPTIST CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 By Rev. Otis Hughson. 
 
 The Fifth Street Baptist Church of Lexington was 
 organized a regular Baptist church on the evening of 
 January 15, 1892. There had been a Sunday-school in 
 the chapel in which the organization was effected, for 
 several years conducted as a mission from the First Bap- 
 tist Church. The membership numbered but six on the 
 evening of its beginning. For two weeks the church had 
 its pulpit supplied by students of the Southern Baptist 
 Theological Seminary in Louisville and on the first Sun- 
 day in February called to its pastorate Rev. Otis Hugh- 
 son, who was then a student in the seminary. For two 
 years and a half the only place of worship was the little 
 frame chapel that had been built for Sunday-school pur- 
 poses. In the middle of the summer of 1893, in con- 
 junction with the First Church, a new building was be- 
 gun, but on account of the serious depression in business 
 and financial matters the building was only half finished. 
 It remained in this condition for over a year. On the 
 i8th of November, 1894, the new home was dedicated by 
 Rev. W. H. Felix, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist 
 Church and humanly speaking the founder of the new 
 organization. The membership grew gradually, reaching 
 at the fifth anniversary the number of two hundred. It 
 is proper to mention that the property consisting of the 
 new church building and the lot of ground upon which it 
 stands, valued at $7,000, was a present from the First 
 Baptist Church, except about $i,5CX3, which the Fifth 
 Street Church paid in constructing or improving the 
 building. The church has been from the beginning 
 thoroughly united, vigorously resisting any effort to gen- 
 erate contention and strife and promptly dismissing those 
 who persisted in disturbing her peace and concord.

 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 Rev. Otis Hughson was born near Charlottesville, 
 Virginia, January 29, 1863. His childhood and youth 
 were spent on the farm, receiving such education as was 
 furnished by the common public schools, which was very 
 meager at that time, rarely reaching over five months in 
 the year. At the age of seventeen, having learned teleg- 
 raphy, he was employed by various telegraph and rail- 
 road companies as telegraph operator, finally reaching the 
 office of train dispatcher for the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail- 
 road situated at Richmond, Mrginia, and having charge 
 of the transportation department over the portion of road 
 from Charlottesville to Old Point. At twenty-two years 
 of age he united with the Leigh Street Baptist Church of 
 Richmond, \ irginia, and in September, 1885, having re- 
 signed his position of dispatcher, entered Richmond Col- 
 lege to begin his collegiate course. Three years were 
 spent there, graduating in various schools. In the 
 autumn of 1888 he began his university studies at the 
 University of Virginia. At this institution he graduated 
 in chemistry, moral philosophy, natural philosophy, his- 
 torical science and received proficiencies in several special 
 departments that did not lead to diplomas. After three 
 years at the university he went in 1891 to the Southern 
 Baptist Theological Seminary, remaining only one ses- 
 sion, during which time he graduated in five schools. New 
 Testament, Interpretation, Systematic Theology, Pas- 
 toral Theology, Church Government and Biblical 
 Introduction. While a student there he was called 
 to the Fifth Street Baptist Church in Lexington, 
 where he still labors. During his work as a stud-

 ent at the University of Mrginia he suppHed a 
 country field in Amherst county, fifty miles from the 
 university. He is the fifth child in a family of eleven 
 children. At this writing his father and mother and all

 the eleven children are living-, never having had a death 
 in the immediate family, all tlie children having been suc- 
 cessfully reared to manhood and womanhood. In 1893, 
 November i6th, he was united in marriage to Miss Elsie 
 Griggs, a member of his charge in Lexington.

UPPER-STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 This church was organized in 1875. Having no build- 
 ing of their own, held their meetings in the Masonic Hall, 
 the First Baptist Church and other places. On May 19, 
 i875> the Melodeon Hall was rented in which to hold 
 
 rPPER-STREET BAPTIST CHIRCH. 
 
 their meetings. Sept. 8, 1875, R^^. J. M. Frost accepted 
 a call to the pastorate, being their first pastor. During 
 his four years" charge he built up the church wonderfully 
 and was greatly beloved by all. 
 
 On December i, 1875, a lot was purchased on the 
 (28) 
 
UPPER STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. 29 
 
 corner of Church and Upper streets, on which to build 
 a meeting house. On October 14, 1877. the present 
 building- was dedicated. Rev. J. P. Bovce preached the 
 dedication sermon. 
 
 Mr. Frost was succeeded as pastor by Rev. T- T- 
 Taylor, who remained with the church for seven years 
 and was a most acceptable pastor in every way. He now 
 has charge of one of the largest churches in Montgomery, 
 Ala. The next pastor called to this church was Rev. F. 
 R. Raymond, who had charge for three years and was 
 followed by Rev. W. S. Splawn. who after serving three 
 years accepted a call to a church in Texas. The present 
 pastor, Rev. J. H. Boyet, came next, and is doing great 
 good by his untiring labors for the upbuilding of his 
 church. On February 18, 1875, this church was 
 christened the "Pilgrim Baptist Church," but on July 4, 
 1877, it was changed to the "Upper Street Baptist 
 Church" and still bears that name. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 John H. Boyet, D. D.. pastor of Upper Street Baptist 
 Church, was born in Tipton county, Tenn., Avigust 11, 
 1847, ^rid moved with his parents to Lamar county, 
 Texas, in 1856. He grew to manhood with only the 
 educational advantages afforded in the common sum- 
 mer schools of the country and human nature as he saw 
 it among the Westerners and the Indians along the 
 border. He was familiar with the lasso, the broncho, the 
 red man and all the dangers to body and soul incident to 
 life in such surroundings. He served in the Confederate 
 cavalry the last year of the war, and knew the Indian as 
 a soldier, a scout and a spy. When the war was over, 
 and the awful experiences of a few years in which the 
 country was filled with murderers and highwaymen had 
 their day, and came to grief, many of them, at the hands 
 of young Confederates who longed for peace and rest 
 from strife, he settled down to work and study with a 
 thirst for knowledge which drank at every fountain 
 opened to him, until he literally carved out for himself a 
 future. He was ordained to the ministry in 1873, and 
 from that time gave himself exclusively to preaching and

 further preparation for his Hfe work. He spent a time 
 in the Southern Theological Seminar}^ at Louisville, and 
 was in a private way a pupil of Dr. John A. Broadus 
 afterward. Availing himself of the benefits of a strong 
 personal friendship of some of the great men of his de- 
 nomination he was able to make good, in a large measure, 
 what he lacked of early advantages. He preached all 
 over Texas during a period of seventeen years and saw 
 over six thousand people converted, in the meantime

 serving as pastor at Paris, Sulphur Springs and Honey 
 Grove, all important points. He was often in demand 
 at college commencements and received the degree of 
 D.D. in 1 887 from the Keechi College. La. He was one of 
 the founders of the "Texas Baptist Standard," which now 
 has the largest circulation of any Baptist paper in the 
 South. He has also written several small books and has 
 published many sermons and other articles in the lead- 
 ing church periodicals. 
 
 In i8go Mr. Boyet became pastor of the First Church 
 of Owensboro. Ky., where his success was conspicuous 
 until failing health influenced him to go South for a time, 
 when for eighteen months he did a remarkable work at

 Texas in 1890, he has held great revival meetings in 
 Louisville, Memphis, Nashville, Little Rock, Natchez 
 and New Orleans, besides many smaller cities North and 
 South. 
 
 Dr. Boyet became pastor of the L^pper Street Church 
 June I, 1895, and has in twenty months increased the 
 membership from less than three hundred and fifty to 
 more than five hundred. His congregations always fill 
 the house and there are accessions and baptisms almost 
 every Lord's day. He teaches a large class, preaches 
 twice on Sunday and attends three other night meetings 
 through the week. Besides his work as pastor Dr. Boyet 
 manages to hold a ten days' meeting every two months 
 at some place in the state. He also appears often on the 
 platform, and has won for himself a name as a popular 
 lecturer. He is frequently on the programme of National 
 gatherings and was for several years one of the board of 
 managers of the Baptist Young Peoples Union of 
 America.

BROADWAY CHRISTIAN CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 By Elder J. W. McGarvey. 
 
 This church came into existence as a branch from 
 the church then meeting in the old house near Phoenix 
 Hotel, on Main street. The latter had enjoyed a very rapid 
 growth from the year 1865 till the year 1869, when the 
 audiences became too large for their house of worship, 
 and a separate meeting for such as saw fit to attend it was 
 organized in the old opera house, corner of ]\Iain and 
 Broadway, January i, 1870. In the spring of 1870. the 
 old Presbyterian house of worship on the corner of Broad- 
 way and'Second streets was purchased for the accommo- 
 dation of this meeting, and was first occupied by it on 
 May 1st of that year. On June 25th of the year 1871, it 
 was thought best by the whole church to organize those 
 meeting there into an independent church. This or- 
 ganization was effected on Lord's day, July i6th, by the 
 enrollment, with the consent of the mother church, of 
 all who chose to enter into it. The whole number then 
 enrolled was one hundred and twenty-eight. 
 
 J. W. ATcGarvey, who had been already selected bv 
 the undivided church to preach in that hotise every Lord's 
 day. was continued in that service, and the church was 
 fully organized by the election and ordination of elders 
 and deacons the same year. The elders first appointed 
 were W. B. Enmial, Dr. L N. Hodgen, Dr. R. A. Gibney, 
 and J. W. McGarvev; the deacons, Robert Mc^NIichael, 
 J. M. Hocker, L Y. Smith, J. L. Shivel, D. D. Laudeman, 
 J. P. Metcalf, J. I>. Wallace and James Frost. 
 
 J. W. ]VIcGarvey was both the preacher for this young 
 congregation and professor of sacred history in the Col- 
 lege of the Bible; and he continued this double service 
 until the close of the year 1881, when the church had so 
 grown in numbers that the time which could be spared 
 from his ])rofessorship was inadequate to the demands of 
 the church work. He conseciuently resigned, and John S.

 Shotise, of Midway, Ky., was chosen to take his place. 
 At this time the number of members was about three 
 hundred and fifty, and these, together with the boarding 
 pupils of Hamilton Female College, and many students of 
 the College of the Bible and Kentucky University who 
 were regular attendants, frequently crowded the house of 
 worship. Under the services of J. S. Shouse this growth 
 continued until it became necessary to provide more 
 seating capacity for the large congregations. All prac- 
 ticable plans for enlarging the old house were considered

 and found unsatisfactory, so it was finally decided to build 
 a new one. Search was made for a suitable lot in the 
 vicinity, but none that could be purchased was found, and 
 it became necessary to tear down the old building and 
 erect the new one on the old site. J. S. Shouse under- 
 took to secure the necessary subscriptions of money, and 
 had scarcely succeeded when he was induced to resign 
 his position and accept the work of soliciting for an in- 
 crease of the endowment of Kentuckv University. His 
 term of service closed with the year 1890. In this crisis, 
 O. A. Bartholomew, of St. Louis, Mo., was induced to 
 serve the church for one year in the double capacity of

 regular preacher and architect of the new building. The 
 new house of worship and a parsonage were constructed 
 under his supervision and according to plans and speci- 
 fications drawn up by him. On the first Lord's day of 
 September, 1891, the new house, with a seating capacity 
 of about one thousand, was formally set apart for public 
 worship to the great delight of the congregation, which 
 had for six months worshiped in the chapel of the 
 university. The cost of the two buildings was about 
 $22,000. 
 
 But previous to this, in the year 1888, for the purpose 
 of relieving the overcrowded condition of its audiences, 
 as also for the sake of more efificient evangelizing in the 
 city, the church had bought a lot on Chestnut street, and 
 erected a house of worship on it at a cost of about $6,500. 
 Here services were maintained regularly by members of 
 the congregation, who were preachers, with the as- 
 sistance of some of the elders and deacons, until the 
 month of December, 1891, when an independent church 
 was organized there. This church being financially 
 weak at first, the mother church continued to help it finan- 
 cially for several years. 
 
 At the close of the engagement with O. A. Bartholo- 
 mew, Mark Collis, who had been for six years Professor 
 of English Language and Literature in Kentucky Uni- 
 versity, was induced to resign that work and serve the 
 church, which he has continued to do until the time of this 
 writing. The increase of membership which has marked 
 the histor}' of the church from its beginning has not been 
 interrupted and the congregation now numbers about 
 nine hundred members, besides about two hundred who 
 have moved away from the city without changing their 
 church membership. 
 
 Throughout the history of this church it has borne a 
 part in the benevolent work of the city of Lexington, and 
 has contributed liberally to the support of the gospel in 
 the state of Kentucky, in the more needy parts of our 
 whole country, and among the heathen. ' Its members 
 have manifested an interest in the poor and the sinning in 
 every part of the world. No class or race of men are be- 
 yond the reach of their sympathy, and this largely ac- 
 counts, no doubt, for the abundant blessings which God 
 has bestowed upon the church. Her devotion to the 
 faith and practice of the primitive church, for the defense 
 and maintenance of which she has ever stood, knows no 
 abatement, and she has confidence that in the years to

 come there is a still larger work for her to do than all that 
 she has hitherto accomplished. Her officers now con- 
 sist of five elders and seventeen deacons. She has an at- 
 tendance every Lord's day which nearly fills her large 
 auditorium; her Sunday-school is large and growing; her 
 prayer-meeting is largely attended; and her young 
 people, in their special lines of work, are active and 
 zealous. She has every reason to thank God and take 
 courage. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 Mark Collis, the minister of the Broadway Christian 
 Church, was born in London, Flngland, September 21, 
 1 85 1. When he was three years old his parents emigrated 
 to South Australia and established themselves in the city 
 of Adelaide. There he was brought up and lived till he 
 was twenty-two years of age. When fifteen years old he 
 obtained employment in a large mercantile house, con- 
 tinuing this pursuit up to the time of his majority, at 
 which time his health failing him he withdrew from bus- 
 iness and sought by a change of location and occupation 
 for the strength which he had lost. For about a year, on 
 the farm of a brother-in-law, he followed agriculture more 
 as a recreation than as a serious business. At the age of 
 eighteen he had become a member of the Christian 
 church, from which time he had been possessed with a 
 desire to preach the gospel and had frequently taken part 
 in the public services of the congregation. His en- 
 forced retirement from business caused him to think 
 more seriously of the question of whether he ought to de- 
 vote his time and talents to mercantile pursuits or to the 
 work of the ministry. At last he determined to come to 
 Kentucky University to spend a year or two, after which 
 he hoped to be able to enter upon the great work of pro- 
 claiming Christ to the people. So in 1874 he bade fare- 
 well to his parents and friends in Australia and came to 
 America, expecting to see them all again m two or three 
 vears. He entered the Bible College of Kentucky Uni- 
 versitv in the fall of 1874, and in 1878 graduated in the 
 first class of the present College of the Bible, delivering 
 the valedictory upon that occasion. After graduating in 
 this college he prosecuted his studies in the College of 
 
44 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 Arts, graduating in that institution in 1881, and deliver- 
 ing the Latin salutatory. While in college he employed 
 almost every Sunday in preaching, most of this time be- 
 ing divided between the congregations of Antioch and 
 Berea, in Fayette county. His vacations were largely 
 taken up with protracted meeting work. The same 
 month that he graduated he married Miss Mary Gibney, 
 
 MARK COLI^IvS. 
 
 of Lexington, and that fall he accepted a call to the 
 church at Alidway, Ky., where he labored for four years. 
 During the last year of his ministry there he made a visit 
 to his father and friends in Australia, his mother having 
 died while he was in college. Soon after his return 
 he was invited to take the chair of English Language and 
 Literature in Kentucky Lniversity; this he accepted, re- 
 luctantly giving up the work at Midway, which had 
 proved very delightful to him. For six years he filled 
 that position, when, the new Broadway Christian Church 
 
BROADWAY CHRISTIAN CHURCH. 45 
 
 being completed, the congregation unanimously called 
 him to serve it as its preacher, which place he has been 
 filling ever since, having begun his sixth year of service 
 with them in January of this year. Mr. Collis has many 
 cares apart from his duties as the minister of this large 
 church. He is the president of the Board of Education 
 of the city of Lexington, the president of the Board of 
 Trustees of the Kentucky Female Orphan School, secre- 
 tary of the Board of Trustees of Hamilton Female Col- 
 lege, secretary of the Board of Trustees of the College 
 of the Bible, and a member of the Board of Curators of 
 Kentucky University. He is president this year of the 
 Kentucky Christian Missionary Society.

CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHUPCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 In the latter part of 1831, a little band of nine faith- 
 ful and devout Christians, pleading for the "faith once de- 
 livered to the saints," and insisting upon a return to 
 primitive Christianity, began holding meetings every 
 Sunday in their private houses for the purpose of attend- 
 ance upon the Lord's Supper, the singing of hymns, 
 prayer and exhortation. These nine believers, now all 
 save one gone to their last reward, were William Poin- 
 dexter and wife, Thomas Rogers and w'ife, Mrs. T. S. 
 Bell, Mrs. Joseph Ficklen, James Schooley, William Van- 
 pelt, and his son William Vanpelt, Jr. These meetings 
 continued through the year 1832. God greatly blessed 
 them, for the membership gradually increased until early 
 in 1833 the little band had grown to such an extent that 
 it was deemed advisable to secure a permanent place for 
 the meetings and to call a minister. Accordingly a room 
 on Spring street, that had been a chair factory, was 
 rented from William Challen, father of James Challen, 
 and here the congregation was domiciled and organized, 
 James Challen being called to serve as minister. 
 
 The interior of the old factor}' was arranged as best 
 they could. It is difificult for one in our day and gener- 
 ation to conceive of the rudeness of the furniture of that 
 old room, which the Disciples then doubtless took great 
 pride in. Some old chairs were donated by the members 
 for the pulpit and chancel, while the seats proper con- 
 sisted of some clumsily constructed benches, without 
 backs. No carpet covered the floor, nor was the light 
 diffused by cathedral glass. They did not exactly "build 
 a pulpit of wood," but they secured a large dr\' goods 
 box, covered it with cotton, and that served as a reading 
 desk. Amid these rude surroundings our forefathers 
 served God, and who is there to say they were not as 
 happy then as those of us who sit in Central Church and 
 enjoy its blessings to-day? It is not probal^le that they

 ever complained of the minister's lengthy sermons, or 
 hurried the service to get home in time for early Sunday 
 dinner. 
 
 But amid the sweetness of this Jheir first meeting 
 place, there was some bitterness. The early church in the 
 
 CICNTKAL CIIRISTIA.N UllUKCII. 
 
 days of Peter and Paul was persecuted, and this early 
 church was persecuted. Not to such an extent, it is true, 
 but persecuted nevertheless. Disagreeable epithets and 
 ugly names were applied to them. They were called 
 "water dogs," "baptized infidels," "Campbellites," etc. A 
 caricature was prepared representing a huge camel with 
 two large humps upon its back, labeled "Alexander 
 Campbell," and beneath this was printed the couplet : 
 "Ho, all ye sons and daughters. 
 Here's salvation in the waters." 
 
68 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 But in spite of all this persecution and calumny they 
 stood firm, and grew in spirit and numbers. In 1834, the 
 congregation had outgrown the old chair factory, and the 
 old Oldham cotton factory, that stood on North Broad- 
 way, where the Skillman residence now stands, was 
 rented. This was arranged better than was the chair 
 factory, and here services were held for several years, 
 until a union took place between them and the so-called 
 "Stoneites," a body of Christians holding to the same faith, 
 that had sprung up in the meantime. The "Stoneites" 
 had erected a brick building at the comer of Mill and 
 High streets. The day this union was consummated was 
 a notable one, and it is greatly to be regretted that the 
 exact day has not come down to us. The services doubt- 
 less lasted all day, among the venerable ministers taking 
 part being Barton W. Stone, J. T. Johnson, Thomas M. 
 Allen, John Smith, Frank Palmer, William Morton, 
 Thomas Smith, Jacob Creath, Sr. The union was cause 
 for great rejoicing. The congregation was strengthened, 
 and took its place in the city as an "established church." 
 Allen Kendrick was the minister of the united forces, and 
 in the autumn of 1840 he held the first protracted meeting, 
 lasting two months and adding one hundred and forty- 
 eight to the church. This addition increased the mem- 
 bership to such an extent that the High street building 
 was found too small and a movement was set on foot that 
 resulted in the building of the old Main Street Church. 
 The High street property was traded for the lot and after 
 some little difficulty the building was completed early in 
 the year 1843. It was dedicated in the spring. President 
 James Shannon preaching the sermon. Shortly after the 
 dedication the celebrated Campbell-Rice debate, in which 
 Henry Clay acted as chairman, was held in the building, 
 lasting for eighteen days. William McChesney suc- 
 ceeded Allen Kendrick as minister, and he in turn was 
 succeeded by Samuel Church. A. L. Robbins succeeded 
 Church, and A. L. Jones, J. G. Tompkins. James Hen- 
 shall and the venerable John T. Rogers followed. In 
 i860 W. H. Hopson was called and served one year until 
 1861, when J. W. McGarvey was called. During the war 
 the church had many vicissitudes. The building was 
 seized and used as a hospital by both the Federal and 
 Confederate troops, but at the close of the war the church 
 was stronger than ever, and found it necessary to estab- 
 lish another congregation in the city, and Broadway 
 Church was organized with a membership of one hun-

 dred and twenty-six. L. B. Wilkes was called as min- 
 ister in 1868, and was succeeded in 1872 by Moses E. 
 Lord. T. N. Arnold followed in 1873; C. K. Marshall in 
 1874; W. H. Hopson was recalled in 1878, and was suc- 
 ceeded by W. F. Cowden in 1881. R. T. Mathews came 
 in 1885 and served faithfully and well for ten years, he 
 being the last to serve in the old building. For fifty 
 years the congregation worshiped God in this building. 
 Children grew up in the church and their children in 
 turn grew up. Year by year God prospered the congrega- 
 tion. Year by year the membership grew in numbers; 
 year by year came the children from the Sunday-school 
 to the church, and in after years their children came from 
 the Sunday-school. In all these years the membership 
 grew not only in numbers, but in grace and in love for 
 one another. But the building that had served them so 
 well, that had witnessed so many happy marriages and 
 sad funerals, whose walls had echoed with the voices of 
 so manv godly men and women, began to decay, and the 
 members began to talk of a new house or of remodeling 
 the old one. 
 
 In the latter part of 1891 the movement for the 
 erection of a new house of worship began to assume 
 definite shape, and on the evening of the 7th of December 
 of that year, after public announcement from the pulpit 
 on the two Sundays preceding, and the mailing of a postal 
 card to each member, the congregation assembled "for 
 the purpose of considering and finally determining the 
 question whether we would remodel the present house of 
 worship, or buy and build elsewhere." This meeting, 
 presided over by Alex McClintock, one of the elders of 
 the church, was a large and representative one, and each 
 member present felt the importance of the occasion. 
 After considerable discussion, it was determined, almost 
 unanimously, to "buy and build elsewhere." A commit- 
 tee consisting of three members from each of the then 
 wards of the city, was appointed, charged with the duty 
 of selecting a suitable location, and to report to a sub- 
 sequent meeting of the congregation. This committee, 
 after careful deliberation, selected the lot known as the 
 old Masonic property, at the corner of Short and Walnut 
 streets, which was forthwith purchased, and plans for the 
 new building drawn, submitted to the congregation and 
 accepted. 
 
 It was not without some difficulty that a purchaser tor 
 the old property was found, but these difficulties were

 overcome l)y the committee of twelve, which was con- 
 tinued as a buildin_s^ committee for the new house, and on 
 the 7th of May, 1893, the cornerstone was laid with ap- 
 propriate ceremonies. The work on the building pro- 
 ceeded as rapidly as possible under the circumstances. 
 It was not, however, until July, 1894, that the work was 
 completed. On the 22d of that month the dedicatory 
 services were held, the sermon proper being delivered by 
 the minister, R. T. ]\Iathews, who had worked so faith- 
 fully for the completion of the building. 
 
 Before the finishing touches had been put upon the 
 new house, the minister, Mr. Mathews, was called to a 
 field of larger usefulness, accepting in September, 1894, 
 a chair in the Bible College of Drake University. He 
 was succeeded in January, 1895, by the present minister, 
 I. J. Spencer, who has endeared himself to every mem- 
 ber of the congregation. Lhider his faithful ministry 
 the work of the clutrch is constantly growing in useful- 
 ness, the missionary spirit continually enlarging and 
 spreading, while the membership is gradually increasing 
 Sunday by Sunday. 
 
 In September, 1896, the church began the work of 
 establishing a mission in South Lexington, purchasing a 
 lot at the corner of Mill and Cedar streets, upon which 
 it is hoped to erect during 1897 a comfortable house of 
 worship. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 I. J. Spencer, the subject of this sketch, was born in 
 Belmont county, Ohio, and was reared on a farm. At 
 the age of twelve the management of the farm devolved 
 upon him and his widowed mother, whose husband and 
 two sons had died during the civil w^ar. He was suc- 
 cessful in business, and when, eight years later, he had 
 decided to enter college and prepare for the ministry, 
 a wealthy and wordly old uncle wept to think that so 
 good a farmer was soon to degenerate into a preacher. 
 Mr. Spencer had been a life-long student, had attended 
 Hillsdale College, in Michigan, before making up his 
 mind to study for the ministry, and had also taught two 
 sessions in the public school. The ministry was chosen 
 after much prayerful deliberation and in the face of 
 
CENTRAI^ CHRISTIAN CHURCH. 
 
 71 
 
 numerous wordly interests. He had joined the Metho- 
 dist Episcopal church when a boy, but having been con- 
 vinced that nothing except immersion answered to the 
 act of baptism and that only believers were the scriptural 
 subjects of the ordinance, he left the Methodist church, 
 
 I. J. SPENCER. 
 
 united with the Disciples of Christ, and determined to 
 enter Bethany College, from which he graduated in 1875 
 as the valedictorian of his class. 
 
 His first regular service as a minister was devoted to 
 the church in Bellaire, Ohio, where in his first protracted 
 meeting fifty-five persons confessed Christ and were 
 baptized. The church grew under his ministry for five

 years, after which he left it to accept a call to the First 
 Christian Chvirch of Baltimore. While in Baltimore, in 
 1878, he married JMiss Louise Pendleton, a daughter of 
 Dr. Philip B. Pendleton, of Louisa county, Virginia, and 
 a niece of Dr. W. K. Pendleton, then president of Beth- 
 any College. 
 
 Mr. Spencer's health failed in Baltimore, after two 
 years, and he went South, spending two years in lighter 
 labors in Augusta, Georgia, and Clarksville, Tennessee. 
 From Clarksville he removed to Virginia and assumed 
 editorial charge of the "Missionary Weekly," which jour- 
 nal under his management for nine years grew constantly 
 in circulation and influence. Having entirely recovered 
 his health he decided to give himself wholly to preaching 
 and to pastoral labor. He accepted a call to the First 
 Church, Winchester, Ky., in 1891, and remained there 
 for nearly two years. During his stay with this church 
 more than two hundred new members were received. 
 
 From Winchester he moved to Louisville and for a 
 little more than a year preached for the Broadway Chris- 
 tian Church. Under his ministr}' on Broadway a large 
 number w ere added to the church. Having been called 
 to the Central Church, Lexington, Ky., he accepted the 
 call and began his labors with it on January- i, 1895. 
 During his term of a little more than two years with the 
 Central Church more than three hundred have been 
 added to the congregation and the church is now one of 
 the largest, most aggressive and liberal congregations in 
 the denomination or in the South. 
 
 Mrs. Spencer is a most intelligent and efficient help- 
 meet. Their children consist of three daughters and one 
 son. In addition to Mr. Spencer's regular work as a 
 pastor he writes occasional doctrinal, missionary and 
 other practical articles for the press, holds protracted 
 meetings, in which many have been gathered into the 
 churches, and is now giving attention to special lines of 
 work on behalf of the children.

CHESTNUT- ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH, 
 
 Historical Sketcii. 
 
 By Rev. J. W. Taylor. 
 
 In 1888, under the direction of the Broadway Chris- 
 tian Church, a mission Sunday-school was started and 
 carried on with the assistance of students from the Col- 
 lege of the Bible, at No. 34 Chestnut street. In a short 
 tmie there was a demand for preaching, and soon the 
 cottage became too small for the number attending these 
 services. In 1889, a brick house of worship was built, 
 dedicated and called the Chestnut Street Christian 
 Church. After the completion of the house, services 
 were conducted by professors and students of the Col- 
 lege of the Bible until the fall of 1890, when the services 
 of Brother T. S. Tinsley were engaged. He proved to 
 be a proficient and successful minister of the gospel, and, 
 under his leadership, the cause rapidly advanced. Broad- 
 way church at first supported the work, then when the 
 church became stronger, they supplemented all finan- 
 cial deficiencies until in 1893 the work was entirely self- 
 sustaining. 
 
 The first Lord's day in January, 1892, Brothers 
 Shouse and Tinsley ordained" the following ofBcers: 
 Elders — John Simpson and I.' M. Williams. Deacons — 
 S. H. Moores and C. D. Cunningham. The following 
 July, Brothers W. A. Adams and F. W. Hunt were 
 elected and ordained deacons. 
 
 The first of January, 1893, Brother W. E. Crab- 
 tree accepted the call to the ministry of the church. 
 Under his faithful service the membership grew rapidly 
 in numbers, and much good was accomplished both in 
 and out of the church. 
 
 The result of patient and diligent work on the part 
 of the Ladies' Aid Society and young people, the church 
 was carpeted and electric lights were put in, adding 
 greatly to the comfort and beauty of the church,

 The following is taken from the record book of the 
 Board of Oflficers: 
 
 "January- i, 1897. 
 
 "Four years have passed since the above synopsis of 
 the early work of Chestnut Street Christian Church was 
 made. As no regular minutes have been kept by the 
 Board of Officers, we must again outline briefly the more 
 important events which have occurred in the interval 
 since the close of the year 1892. Brother W. E. Crab- 
 
 CHESTNUT-STRKET CHRISTI-VN CHURCH. 
 
 tree served the church as minister from January i, 1893, 
 to May I, 1895. Prof. I. B. Grubbs was elected an 
 elder, and Brothers W. C. G. Hobbs and Geo. Downing 
 were elected as deacons during the time that Brother 
 Crabtree was serving the congregation. Brother B. C. 
 Hagerman was the minister in charge from August i, 
 1895, to June I, 1896. . . . He was an earnest man, 
 and many of the sermons preached will be long remem- 
 bered by those who heard him. During his service the 
 Ladies' Aid Society had the interior of the church nicely 
 
S6 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 frescoed, and Brother Joe Miller was elected a deacon 
 by the congregation. 
 
 "Brother J. W. Taylor began his services with the 
 church July i, 1896, and continues with us at the present 
 writing. . . . The congregation now numbers more 
 than three hundred members, a fair percentage of which 
 are active workers. All departments of the work are 
 now doing active service, the Ladies' Aid Societ>' de- 
 serving special mention. The C. W. B. M. is composed 
 of an earnest band of women. The Young Peoples' So- 
 ciety has done a good work, adding materially to the 
 spiritual development of its workers. The Youug Men's 
 Prayer Meeting, which has met weekly for three years 
 past, numbers among its attendants our most earnest 
 young men. The Sunday-school has been a valuable 
 factor in the church; a large percentage of the church 
 members have been developed and brought to Christ 
 through its work. . . . 
 
 "As the forces of the church are, at present, well or- 
 ganized, we hope, through the blessings of an all wise 
 Providence, to do a better and grander work during the 
 future vears.'' 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 Rev. John W. Taylor, pastor of the Chestnut Street 
 Christian Church, was bom in Kansas City, Mo., May 27, 
 1866. He attended public and high schools, and was a 
 student at Butler University for three sessions prior to 
 entering the College of the Bible at Lexington, Ky., from 
 which he graduated, and took charge of a church at 
 Burgin, Ky., in 1890, where he remained for two years. 
 From there he went to Hicksville, Ohio, as pastor of a 
 church, and remained there for two years. His next 
 charge was a church in Defiance, Ohio, which he 
 served for two years, and then devoted himself to evange- 
 listic work for six months before taking charge of his 
 present church, where he has been since July, 1896. 
 
 Mr. Taylor is one of the most progressive young min- 
 isters in the city, and the present flourishing condition 
 of the church is owing greatly to his energv' and faithful 
 duties as a devoted pastor.

CHRIST CHURCH (EPISCOPAL). 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 By Lyman Beechkr Todd, M. D. , 
 
 The centun- that marks the history of Christ Church, 
 Lexington, Ky., from its organization in 1794 to the 
 present time, is certainly an eventful one, considered ec- 
 clesiastically, historically and biographically. 
 • Those early Christians who, more than one hundred 
 years ago, erected the small frame house upon the site 
 of the present church, surely builded wiser than then 
 they knew. 
 
 The history of this church is even more than of local 
 or state importance ; but of national interest, considering 
 the long succession of learned and consecrated minis- 
 ters who have served at her altar, and afterward have 
 gone to different and distant parts of this countrv', whose 
 influence for Christian civilization can not be estimated, 
 as well as many members of that church who have been 
 useful for God and his service in private life, in the state 
 and national councils. 
 
 The Rev. James Moore, of Mrginia, was the first 
 rector, called in 17Q2. He was learned and pious, and 
 of beautiful manners. He was president of Transylvania 
 University in 1798, and died the 22d of January, 1814, 
 age forty-nine years. 
 
 In 1808, a brick house of larger proportions suc- 
 ceeded the frame building, and strange as it may sound, 
 the funds raised for this building were started in a lottery. 
 Among the projectors of this scheme was Lord Alorton. 
 He is ever to be remembered gratefully by citizens of 
 Lexington as having made a donation by will for the 
 establishment of a public school for the children of this 
 city, v.'ho thereby became his heirs, and for whom the 
 public school building on Walnut street has been called. 
 
 Rev. John Ward became rector in 181 3. During 
 his ministry he conducted a large female school, and was 
 useful and universally esteemed. He died in i860, at 
 
 (94) 
 
CHRIST CHURCH (EPISCOPAL). 
 
 96 
 
 the age of eighty-two, and by will left his late home on 
 Second street to the church as a rectory. 
 
 We next record the name of Rev. Lemuel Burge as 
 rector in September, 1819. Succeeding him was Rev. 
 Geo. T. Chapman, of Massachusetts, in July, 1820; rec- 
 tor for ten ye&rs. During his ministry a larger brick 
 church was built, that also upon the present site. 
 
 Rev. Benjamin Bosworth Smith became rector in 
 1830. He was born June 13, 1794, in Rhode Island; 
 
 CHRIST CHURCH (EPISCOPAL 
 
 was ordained a priest in 1818, and was consecrated 
 bishop in 1832. As the senior bishop in the House of 
 Bishops in the United States, Rt. Rev. Bishop Smith 
 presided over the House of Bishops at several recurring 
 tri-annual conventions. This consecrated man died only 
 a few years ago. During the ministry of Bishop Smith, 
 Dr. Henry Caswell became assistant rector. 
 
 Succeeding him Rev. Edward Winthrop, of Massa- 
 chusetts became temporary rector; but the regular suc- 
 cessor of the Rt. Rev. B. B. Smith was the Rev. Edward 
 F. Berkley, who, having completed his theological 
 studies in the Episcopal Theological School in this city, 
 became rector in January, 1839. During his ministry,

 and on March 17, 1847, the corner stone of the present 
 building was laid, with imposing religious ceremonies. 
 Rev. Dr. James Craik, of Louisville, made the address of 
 dedication. 
 
 During Rev. Mr. Berkley's ministry, the Hon. Henr>' 
 Clay was confirmed. He was baptized at Ashland in 
 
 BISHOP SMITH. 
 
 the presence of his family and a few friends by Air. Berk- 
 ley, who also officiated at his funeral in 1852, also at his 
 home at Lexington. 
 
 During, and for years subsequent to Rev. Mr. Berk- 
 ley's rectorship, a person visiting Christ Church would 
 have been pathetically impressed by the presence of a 
 blind man, Mr. William !)•. Hulett, presiding at the or- 
 gan. His services were highly appreciated, and, for his 
 faithfulness and general usefulness in the church, he was 
 presented with a copy of the Bible and Prayer Book 
 printed by the American Bible Society for the blind; at 
 that day a very rare and valuable gift. It is a pleasure 
 
CHRIST CHURCH (EPISCOPAL). 97 
 
 to remember that the Bible, in three very large volumes, 
 is still used by a similarly afflicted family near this city; 
 and the Prayer Book was presented by a devoted mem- 
 ber of the church, now called to her Heavenly rest, to a 
 blind person, who is at present a communicant of the 
 church. 
 
 Mr. Berkley resigned the rectorship in 1857, having 
 been called to St. George's Episcopal Church in St. Louis, 
 where he still lives in the quiet evening of a long and 
 useful life, endeared to hosts of loving friends. 
 
 Rev. James H. Morrison, of Virginia, next became 
 rector in 1858, and he was succeeded in October, i860, 
 by Rev. Jacob S. Shipman, D. D., who was born at 
 Niagara, in New York, November 30, 1832. Dr. Ship- 
 man was a man of brilliant intellect, a graduate of Yale, 
 and in every way accomplished. 
 
 In the historical address by Dr. Lyman Beecher Todd 
 on the semi-centennial anniversary of the Lexington and 
 Vicinity Bible Society, Dr. Todd referred to Dr. Ship- 
 man in these words: "Rev. Jacob S. Shipman, rector of 
 Christ Church, Lexington, Ky., from 1861 to 1877. Of 
 Mr. Shipman's usefulness as a minister of the gospel, 
 faithfulness as a pastor, and also of his admirable ad- 
 ministrative ability, the venerable Bishop Smith, on visit- 
 ing this parish and administering the right of confirma- 
 tion to the largest class ever presented in the history of 
 the church, remarked, in the presence of the writer: 
 'This duVrch, Christ Church, here at Lexington, is 
 greatly blessed in the rector. Dr. Shipman has an old 
 head on young shoulders ; and I do believe he is the only 
 man in America who, when every Protestant church in 
 Lexington has divided during the war, could have held 
 his church together.' Pure in spirit, and with a warm 
 heart, he gave comfort to the afflicted; and with bright 
 intellect and genial nature carried instruction and glad- 
 ness everywhere. He will ever have a green spot in 
 many, many loving hearts of the citizens of Lexington 
 and their descendants. He is now rector of Christ 
 Church, New York City; and his gifted son, Herbert 
 Shipman, who was his father's assistant for years, has 
 recently been appointed chaplain of the United States 
 Military Academy at West Point." 
 
 Dr Shipman was succeeded by Thomas S. Tidball 
 in the year 1878, and resigned in 1885, and is at present 
 rector of the Church of the Epiphany in Philadelphia. 
 
 Rev. Dr. Edward H. Ward was next rector, coming 
 in the year 1885, and resigned in 1897. Dr. Ward is 
 now rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Pittsburg, Pa. 
 
98 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 During these many long and eventful years, Christ 
 Church and congregation has enjoyed visitations, ser- 
 mons and the administration of the rite of confirmation 
 by many eminent divines and bishops, among whom 
 are Rev. Dr. Quintard. of Tennessee, and Rev. Dr. 
 George D. Cummings, long since called to his reward. 
 In 1895, the Diocese of Kentucky was divided into Lex- 
 ington and Diocese of Kentucky. Soon thereafter, in 
 the church convention held in Christ Church, December 
 5, 1895, Rev. Lewis W. Burton, a man of ability, learn- 
 ing and great consecration, was elected bishop of the 
 Lexington Diocese of Kentucky, December 5, 1895, 
 and was consecrated in Louisville January 30, 1896; held 
 his first confirmation in Christ Church, Alarch 15, 1896. 
 He is now industriously, successfully and acceptably dis- 
 charging the duties of his office. 
 
 Perhaps the most important event in the history of 
 Christ Church may be considered the action of the church 
 assembled on Monday evening, March 15, 1897, when, 
 by an overwhelming vote of the church and congrega- 
 tion, Christ Church was tendered to Rt. Rev. Bishop 
 Burton as the cathedral church of the Lexington Dio- 
 cese. 
 
 The tender of the church is made upon the following 
 terms and subject to the following conditions: 
 
 1. That the bishop shall, in addition to his preroga- 
 tives and duties as diocesan, be the chief pastor and di- 
 rector of the parish, with the right, at all times and at his 
 pleasure, to use the church and other parish buildings, 
 except the rectory, for all diocesan and episcopal pur- 
 poses; to officiate, preach, administer the sacraments and 
 conduct such other rites, ordinances and services in the 
 church, chapels and missions of the fDarish; to take part 
 in their deliberations, and to submit to them from time 
 to time such suggestions and counsel as he may see fit. 
 
 2. This being designed as the preliminary step to- 
 ward the establishment of a cathedral system, which 
 shall conduce to greater efficiency in the missionary work 
 and other activities of the church in this diocese — the 
 ultimate form of which system is to be determined by 
 future trial and experience — the bishop shall also, until 
 other provision therefor be made by consent of the 
 bishop and of the vestr}^ of this parish, have the power to 
 constitute, as he may see fit, a cathedral chapter, its 
 powers, privileges and duties to be prescribed by him 
 from time to time, but to be consistent with those other- 
 wise recognized or assigned in this resolution, and also 
 with those conferred and imposed upon this parish and 
 
CHRIST CHURCH 'EPISCOPAL)- 99 
 
 upon the rector and vestry by canon law and upon the 
 corporation of "the rector, wardens and vestry of Christ 
 Church in the city of Lexington," by civil law; pro- 
 vided, however, that the bishop shall always be the offi- 
 cial head of such chapter, and that the rector of this 
 parish, and two lay members of this vestry, shall always 
 be members thereof. 
 
 3. The rector of this parish, who shall also have the 
 title of Dean of the Cathedral, shall be elected by the 
 vestry from nominations submitted to it by the bishop, 
 with the right, however, upon the part of the vestry, to 
 reject any and all nominations until some person sat- 
 isfactory to it be named; and he shall be charged with 
 all the duties, and have all the rights and privileges of 
 rector, as defined by canon law and ecclesiastical usage, 
 except as the same are modified by the rights and privi- 
 leges hereby conferred upon the bishop. 
 
 This parish shall have all rights, powers, privileges 
 and obligations which the other parishes of this diocese 
 may possess or be charged with. 
 
 5. The arrangement hereby proposed shall cease 
 with the termination of the episcopate of the present 
 bishop, the Right Reverend Lewis W. Burton, unless 
 thereafter continued by the mutual consent, expressly 
 and formally thereto given to his successor in office and 
 of the rector, vestry and congregation of this parish. 
 
 Miss Bertha Embry is the organist of Christ Church, 
 an accomplished musician, painstaking, industrious, de- 
 voted to instruction in church music, and has given great 
 satisfaction in the discharge of her difficult and onerous 
 duties. 
 
 The Sabbath-school of Christ Church has long been 
 successfully conducted, from which, for years, many most 
 faithful and useful members of the church have come. 
 It has now an average attendance of one hundred and 
 ten scholars. 
 
 Mr. Clarence Crittenden Calhoun is superintendent. 
 Mr. Charles W. Bean is secretary and treasurer. Mr. 
 Samuel G. Bovle is librarian. Jas P. Nelson, teacher of 
 Bible class. Teachers are — Mrs. Sarah Bruen Cronly, 
 Miss Carrie Thornton. Misses Marv T. Pavne, Bertha 
 Embry, Murrell, Davis, Mrs. Casey. Misses Walby, Linda 
 Payne, Nannie Woodruff, Emily Barnes, Mrs. Berry- 
 man. 
 
 At an annual meeting of the congregation of Christ 
 Church, held on the Monday following Easter, twelve 
 vestrymen are elected. The following gentlemen com- 
 pose the vestr\^:

 len Todd, treasurer; T. B. Wood, Wm. B. Huston, 
 Stephen T. Swift, Charles W. Bean, Hamilton Scott, C. 
 C. Calhoun, John Todd Shelby, W. W. Warren. 
 
 In 1887, Christ Church established a mission, 
 located on South Broadway, on a lot generously donated 
 by a member of the church, Mr. J. Q. A. Haymon, called 
 the Chapel of the Good Shepherd. On December 30, 
 1887, the chapel was formally opened by the bishop of 
 diocese, Thos. U. Dudley, D. D., by excellent address. 
 Religious services are conducted there on Sunday and 
 Tuesday evenings. A Parents' Aid Society meets on 
 Friday afternoon, and is presided over by Miss Linda 
 Nevelle. A Sunday-school, with an average attendance 
 of more than a hundred, is held every Sunday afternoon. 
 The superintendent is Mr. Wm. Plunkett. Instructor of 
 the Bible class is Mr. William Warren. Teachers — 
 Misses Carrie Thornton, Fannie Swift Todd, Alice Brad- 
 ley, Louise Saunders, Lucy Ford, Margaret Payne, 
 Mamie Didlake. Katie Clay, Fannie Saunders, Dora 
 Berkley, Mary Berkley. 
 
 The several organizations of benevolent and mission 
 work have always been efBcient, useful and eminently 
 successful, embracing many departments. Christ Church 
 has three guilds, viz. : (i) The Woman's Guild, (2) The 
 Gleaners, (3) St. Catharine's. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Bishop Burton. 
 
 The Rt. Rev. Lewis William Burton, D. D., first 
 bishop of Lexington, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, No- 
 vember 9, 1852. His father was the Rev. Lewis Burton, 
 D. D., one of the best known of the clergy of the Diocese 
 of Ohio, with which diocese he was associated for forty- 
 seven years, from 1847 wntil his death in 1894. 
 
 Dr. Burton, Sr., was for twenty-four years of this time 
 rector of St. John's Church, and afterward rector and then 
 rector emeritus of St. Mark's Church, Cleveland. He 
 was also the founder of All Saints' Church in the same 
 city. 
 
 An uncle of the present bishop, the Rev. William M. 
 Burton, was the immediate predecessor of Dr. Lewis 
 
CHRIST CHURCH (EPISCOPAI,). 101 
 
 Burton in the rectorship of St. John's Church, Cleveland, 
 and anotlier inicle on his mother's side, the Rev. John 
 S. Wallace, was the first rector of St. Andrev/'s Church, 
 Louisville, Ky., of which parish the bishop was rector 
 at the time of his election to the episcopate. 
 
 The present bishop graduated from Kenyon College 
 in 1873, being valedictorian and first honor man of his 
 class. From Kenyon, he took successively the degrees 
 of B. A. and M. A. in course, and the honorary degree 
 of D. D., the latter after his election to the episcopate. 
 
 His theological education was acquired at the Phila- 
 delphia Divinity School, where he graduated in 1877. 
 Ordained deacon by Bishop Bedell (Ohio) in the Church 
 of the Holy Spirit, Gambler, June 24, 1877. Ordained 
 priest by the same bishop in St. Paul's Church, Cleveland. 
 May 15, 1878. His diaconate was spent as assistant at 
 All Saints' Church, Cleveland, of which parish he became 
 rector shortly after his ordination to the priesthood in 
 June, 1878. This parish he resigned June 7, 1880, and 
 spent six months abroad. From June, 1881, until Jan- 
 uary I, 1882, he was assistant to his father at St. Mark's 
 Church, Cleveland, and on the latter date he became 
 rector of the parish, his father becoming rector emeritus. 
 From April 13, 1884, until July 15, 1893, Mr. Burton was 
 rector of ■ St. John's Church, Richmond, Va. During 
 portions of his stay in Virginia he was a member of the 
 Missionary Committee of the diocese, as examining chap- 
 lain, president of the James River Convocation, and vice- 
 president of the Richmond City Missionary Society. 
 During this time also the Weddell Memorial Chapel and 
 the Chapel of the Good Shepherd were erected, paid for 
 and consecrated, a rectory purchased, the parish church 
 beautified and adorned and its chapel enlarged and re- 
 fitted. Mr. Burton was also in charge of Calvary Chapel, 
 a mission in the slums of Richmond. Having resigned 
 St. John's to become rector of St. Andrew's Church, 
 Louisville, he began his ministry there October i, 1893, 
 and continued in that charge until his elevation to the 
 episcopate. In Kentucky, among other offices held by

ST. JOHN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 During die early part of the year 1885 a number of 
 laymen of Christ Church parish, Lexington, Ky., began 
 the discussion of organizing a second parish in this city. 
 At this time Christ Church was without a rector. A 
 meeting was held early in January, a paper was drawn 
 up and addressed to the Rt. Rev. Thomas Underwood 
 Dudley, bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky, signed by 
 fifteen male members who were communicants of the 
 church and residents of the city. The purport of the 
 paper was to obtain from the bishop his official consent 
 to the organization of St. John's Parish. The bishop 
 at once gave his consent and approval. At a meeting 
 held soon after a vestry consisting of the following gen- 
 tlemen was elected: Messrs. Anderson Berrv, A. J. 
 Campbell, J. F. Edgar, William Farley, Alexander Gib- 
 bons, Ed. K. Graves, F. E. Johns, J. E. Keller. A. L Tot- 
 ten, John S. Wilson, Harry Williams and Theodore Wil- 
 liams. A. J. Campbell, Esq., was elected senior warden, 
 A. L Totten, junior warden, and J. Esten Keller, secre- 
 tary. The vestry elected and called for its first rector the 
 Rev. Robert Elliott Grubb, who took charge of the parish 
 about the ist of May, 1885. The first service was held 
 in a room in the Carty Building, corner of Main and Mill 
 streets, on the 17th of the same month, and was continued 
 in the same building till the following January, when the 
 services were discontinued owing to the financial inabil- 
 ity of the congregation to meet the expenses. During 
 the rectorship of Rev. Mr. Grubb one marriage was cele- 
 brated, three persons were baptized and three members 
 were buried. After a lapse of two years and by consent 
 of the bishop in April. 1888, a quorum of the old vestry 
 met and determined to revive the services and start anew 
 the work begun. At this meeting there were present 
 Messrs. A. L Totten, A. J. Campbell, Anderson Berry 
 
 (108) 
 
ST. JOHNS EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 109 
 
 and R. B. Hatchraft, who had been elected to the vestry 
 in the winter of 1885. They, constituting a quorum, pro- 
 ceeded to elect others in the congregation to fill vacan- 
 cies and the following were chosen : Judge Z. Gibbons, 
 Levi T. Rodes, Henry A. Guthrie, Henry A. Engman, 
 George J. Warren, M. F. Norris and F. E. Johns, who 
 was one of the old vestry, making twelve in all. This meet- 
 ing was held on the 15th of June, 1888, and thus began 
 the new St. John's. 
 
 The lot upon which the church is built was donated 
 by J. Esten Keller, Esq., whose generosity to the parish 
 continued till he removed from the city. The corner 
 stone was laid by the bishop on September 18, 1888, 
 with a very impressive ceremony. There were present 
 besides the bishop the following clergy: G. A. Weeks, 
 of Cvnthiana; G. C. Betts, of Louisville; W. H. Bam- 
 well,' of Paris; H. H. Sneed, of Mt. Sterling; W. G. Mc- 
 Cready, of Versailles; Dr. Ward; G. A. Stansberry, of 
 Christ Church, and the Rev. Mr. Wilson, of St. Andrew's, 
 this city, besides a congregation numbering nearly or 
 quite 1,000 persons. 
 
 The first rector of the new St. John's was the Rev. 
 Samuel Johnson French, who took charge of the parish 
 about November 14. 1888. The services of St. John's be- 
 gan on true Catholic lines and so are continued. The 
 Rev. Dr. Pelham Williams served the parish as rector 
 for six months as "priest in charge" on the resignation 
 of the Rev. Mr. French on All Saints' Day, 1891. On 
 June 12, 1892, Trinity Sunday, the Rev. Roger Hanson 
 Peters, came to the parish and served as priest till Feb- 
 ruary, 1895. During the months of February and March 
 the Rev. M. M. Benton, archdeacon, conducted the ser- 
 vices and on the ist of April the Rev. John Sword entered 
 on his duties as priest and served as such till the middle 
 of December, 1895. During the incumbency of 
 this godly and learned priest a chapel was made and a 
 side altar was erected wholly at the expense of this gen- 
 erous hearted man of God, except the stone for the altar, 
 which was gratuitously furnished by Wm. Sleath, Esq. 
 The present rector, the Rev. E. A. Bazett-Jones, took 
 charge on March 22, the fifth Sunday in Lent. 1896. St. 
 John's has been blessed in having some of the most learned 
 priests in the church to serve at its altars and but for the 
 modest circumstances, financially, of its members, who 
 are imable to liquidate the debt owing by the parish, 
 would to-day be in the front in church work generally. 
 Since the new St. John's commenced its work there have 
 
110 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 been: Baptisms, 69; confirmed, 57; marriages, 12; funer- 
 als, 30; communicants, at present, about 50. The church 
 is open every day and a daily celebration of the Holy 
 Eucharist. Seats are free and the poor have the gospel 
 preached to them. The character of the services is shown 
 by a paper read by a layman to the vestry at a meeting 
 held on August 31, 1891. 
 
 "I believe that here we are worshiping with forms 
 and cerenionies which are those of the Holy Catholic 
 Church, which are in accordance with the spirit and letter 
 of our Ordinal and without which the services at the cele- 
 bration of the Holy Eucharist and at the minor ofifices 
 are mutilated, incomplete and non-Catholic. I believe 
 only in observing such ritual as is to-day called Catholic, 
 and is found in conformity with the traditions, usages 
 and doctrines of the Holy Catholic Church of the ages 
 past and present." 
 
 A vested boy choir was introduced on Easter Day, 
 1890, and the services as rendered compared very favor- 
 ablv with those held in churches in much larger cities. 
 
 The font sitting in the body of the church near the 
 inner door was presented by Anderson Berry, Esq., and 
 others and is 'Tn Loving Memory" of H. K., M. T. and 
 L. O. Berry. Quite a beautiful and costly window in 
 the front of the church bears the inscription, "In memory 
 of Jas. A. and Mary E. Harper and Kate Harper Camp- 
 bell." The window is in the highest style of decorative 
 art, and has a figure of St. John the Evangelist with pen 
 and eagle, emblematical of this beloved apostle of our clear 
 Lord. Another window, much smaller but quite a costly 
 window, directly over the altar, contains the image of 
 the crucified Christ upon the cross. A massive rood 
 beam, surmounted by an oaken cross, connects the two 
 columns of the center arch between the nave and choir. 
 
 The members of the choir consisted of E. C. Newlin, 
 organist; J. Pointz Nelson, choir master; L. E. Elsworth, 
 L J. Blackburn, W. H. Sharpley, F. H. Diller, Geo. H. 
 Chase, George A. Weeks, G. H. Sharpley, Richard M. 
 Nelson, J- E. Keller, Jr., S. O. Cavette, W. T. French, 
 Louis M. Schweedes, Jno. R. Crawley, John C. 
 Schweedes, Louis Fischer. John D. Reynolds, Francis J. 
 French, Kerry Compton, Charlton A. Metcalfe, Wil- 
 liam G. P. Perkins, Thomas P. Edgar, Owen D. 
 Keller, Walter S. Carr and G. Drummond Hunt. 
 The services were choral throughout and were very im- 
 pressive, attractive and inspiring. The officers of the 
 parish to-day are Messrs. George Copeland, senior war-

 den; George S. Weeks, junior warden; George J. War- 
 ren, secretary; Anderson Berry, A. M. Peter, W. F. Jen- 
 nings, Frank Kirschner, H. J. X'andermark and W. S. 
 Welsh. H. B. Clay was elected treasurer. 
 
 St. Agnes' Guild is rendering substantial aid in parish 
 work, besides contributing largely toward its financial 
 support. The members of the Altar Guild, composed of 
 the younger women, are energetic, devotional and are of 
 great service in the requirements of their offices. The 
 Sunday-school has a fair attendance and is presided over 
 by the'rector, assisted by Mr. J. S. Keller, superintendent, 
 and Mrs. Bazett- Jones. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Rector. 
 
 Father E. A. Bazett-Jones, the present rectoi: of St. 
 John's Church, was born at Fleetwood, in the county of 
 Lancashire, England, on June 9, 1845. His infancy 
 was spent there, and in early childhood he was taken by 
 his parents to live near Preston, his father's interests 
 necessitating the change. At a lovely home some seven 
 miles from the city his childhood was spent, receiving 
 his early education and training from his mother until 
 he was nine years old, and then upon her death, which 
 happened about this time, his father employed a governess, 
 who taught his younger sister and brother as well as 
 himself until he was twelve years old, when he was sent 
 to school. For three years he attended the Preston 
 Grammar School, a foundation of King Edward VI, i549- 
 From this school he was taken and placed at a private 
 school, begun by a personal friend of his father's. The 
 school after a few years was broken up, owing to the 
 head master having accepted the position of leader of a 
 large and prominent school in Yorkshire. His father, 
 acting under the advice of the family physician, for some 
 time kept him in the country, where his time was spent 
 principally out of doors, engaged in the dear old English 
 sports and athletics, until having become thoroughly 
 strong he was taken into his father's office and in- 
 structed by him in the rudiments of a business educa- 
 tion. From there he was sent to Liverpool, where, 
 through the influence of his father's friends, he obtained 
 a position in the Bank of Liverpool, remaining there 
 
112

 until some little time after his father's death. He be- 
 came interested with mutual friends in an idea which 
 took firm possession of them to go abroad and settle. 
 After some investigation it was determined to go to the 
 United States, and, putting what capital they had to- 
 gether, land was purchased in the State of Minnesota. 
 He remained here long enough to discover that farm- 
 
 FATHER E A. BAZETT-JONES. 
 
 ing was very hard work, and very little income accruing 
 therefrom. Two years' experience led to abandoning 
 the farm and entering business. After several years of 
 active work, circumstances arose, which, under guidance, 
 led him to study for orders. He entered Seabury Hall 
 Divinity School, and took the theological course. His 
 first work was serving his diaconate in Gethsemane 
 Parish, Minneapolis, Minn., when at the end of the year 
 he was ordained to the priesthood, sent to the parishes 
 of Zumbrota and Pine Island, remained in charge a little 
 over two years, was transferred to Iowa and took charge 
 
ST. JOHN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 113 
 
 of Holy Cross Parish, Keokuk. In the third year of his 
 rectorate he organized a colored work called the Mis- 
 sion of St. Mary the Virgin, and for nearly four years 
 ministered to both white and colored work. In the fall 
 of 1891 he was transferred to the Diocese of Chicago, and 
 in charge of the parish at B21gin, where he remained a 
 little over a year, when the bishop placed him in charge 
 of a new mission which had been organized in the city 
 of Chicago. For two years the mission flourished and 
 then for some unexplained reason the bishop killed it. 
 For rest he then took charge of a small parish in the Dio- 
 cese of Chicago. Remaining one year, he received and 
 accepted a call to the parish of St. John, Lexington, Ky. 
 Entering upon his charge on Passion Sunday, 1896, he 
 has as rector led and directed the parish until now.

 gan county, Wisconsin, November 29, 1869, and lived 
 there till 1879, when his parents removed to Freelands- 
 ville, Ind. 
 
 Mr. Frohne was educated at Elmhurst Seminar}-, a 
 short distance from Chicago, and Eden College, at St. 
 Louis, having spent four years at the seminary and three 
 at college. Mr. Frohne is a member of the German 
 Evangelical Synod of North America. In 1896, he mar- 
 ried Miss Annie Schroeder, of Freelandsville, Ind. 
 
 The Maryland Avenue Church is Mr. Frohne's first 
 charge, which he is conducting most acceptably to his 
 congregation. He is very energetic and progressive, and 
 just such a pastor as a struggling new church needs to 
 tide it over the crisis to a firm foundation.

 EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 In A. D. 1 89 1, Rev. Otto Kuhr, pastor of the Ger- 
 man Lutheran congregation at Ottenheim, Lincohi 
 county, Ky., came to this city to preach to the German 
 Lutherans in this place. He gathered a small congre- 
 gation, which was organized in the summer of the same

 year, as the St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Congrega- 
 tion. Rev. Kuhr now served as the minister of this con- 
 gregation. The}' were furnished with a place of wor- 
 ship by the kindness of the Second Presbyterian Church, 
 
 (117) 
 
118 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 and later of the Maxwell Presbyterian Church. From 
 April to Aug-ust, 1892, they were permitted to use the 
 Chestnut Street Christian Church. 
 
 Early in 1892, Rev. Kuhr left Lexington, and on 
 March 4th, Rev. Paul Schencke took his place. About 
 this time a number of members, who did not agree with 
 the confessional standpoint of the congregation, left it. 
 The remaining members, then about ten in number, at 
 once proceeded to build a church of their own. The lot 
 for the building, on the corner of Fifth and Wolf streets, 
 was donated bv the late Mr. D. F. Wolf, an old citizen of 
 Lexing^ton and member of the congregation. The church 
 was dedicated on October 30, 1892. 
 
 On July 28, 1895, Rev. Schencke having taken another 
 call, Rev.J.F. C.Schmidt, member of the Evangelical Lu- 
 theran Synod of Missouri, took charge of the congrega- 
 tion. In September of the same year, the congregation 
 established a parochial school, to provide more sufficient 
 religious instruction for their children than can be given 
 in a Sunday-school. The school is conducted by the 
 pastor. Besides the regular course of a grammar-school 
 it gives instruction in religion and German. Sunday- 
 school is held in English. 
 
 The congregation receives as its confession the Augs- 
 burg confession and the other Lutheran symbols con- 
 tained in the Book of Concord. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 Rev. J. F. Charles Schmidt, pastor of St John's Evan- 
 gelical Lutheran Church, is a native of Ohio. Was born 
 at Elyria, Ohio, in 1874. He attended Concordia Col- 
 lege at Ft. Wayne, Ind., and finished his preparation 
 for the ministry at Concordia Theological Seminary, St. 
 Louis. He was a member of the Evangelical Lutheran 
 Synod of Missouri, when he was called to Lexington to 
 take charge of the little church erected on the corner of 
 Fifth and Wolf streets by a faithful few. 
 
 Mr. Schmidt also conducts a parochial school in con- 
 nection with his duties as pastor. He is a most earnest, 
 thorough and untiring worker among his flock, and is 
 much beloved by them. This is his first pastorate, which 
 he began in 1895. The future holds great promise for 
 this faithful young pastor.

CENTENARY 
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch, 
 
 In 1844 the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United 
 States was divided into two parts — one of which, the M. 
 E. Church, South, occupied the then slave States of the 
 Union. After the close of the civil war, at the session 
 of the Kentucky Conference held September, 1865, reso- 
 lutions were introduced memorializing the General Con- 
 ference, in view of the fact that slavery had been abol- 
 ished, to take steps looking to organic re-union of the 
 two Methodisms. This was voted down by a large ma- 
 jority. As a result of this action eighteen members of 
 the conference (believing that they would be sustained 
 by a large portion of the Methodists in the State) deter- 
 mined to witlidraw from the Church South, and cast their 
 lot once more with the old church. 
 
 Something over one hundred members withdrew from 
 the Hill Street M. E. Church, South, and, on the 3d day of 
 January, 1866, in a private residence in this city, that of 
 Hiram Shaw, Esq., were organized and tendered to Bishop 
 D. W. Clark, who was to preside at the Kentucky Con- 
 ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Covington, 
 Ky., March, 1866, with the request that a pastor be sent 
 them by the bishop. 
 
 At this March conference the "eighteen" joined the 
 ]\I. E. Church and one of their number, Rev. Duke 
 Slavens, a relative of Bishop Kavanaugh, was appointed 
 to Lexington. A lot was purchased on the corner of 
 Broadway and Church street, and by October following 
 the chapel at the rear of the present church building 
 had been erected and was dedicated to the service of 
 God by Dr. (afterward Bishop) Isaac W. Wiley. At the 
 next session of the conference Rev. John R. Eads, "an- 
 other of the eighteen," was appointed pastor. He re-

 mained only one year and was succeeded by still another 
 of the "eighteen," Dr. Daniel Stevenson, who remained 
 as pastor for three years. Dr. Stevenson was aggressive 
 and when he departed in March, 1871, he and the con- 
 gregation had mutual satisfaction in realizing that the 
 present church building had been erected and paid for 
 during his administration. Up to this time all the pas- 
 tors had been native Kentuckians. Now a new depart- 
 ure was determined upon. A transfer from Rock River

 Conference, George E. Strobridge, was made pastor, and 
 during his administration of three years the membership 
 was nearly doubled, and all the work of the church pushed 
 forward with great success. 
 
 T. M. Leslie, a former member of the West .Virginia 
 Conference, served the church for one year, and then 
 went to Ohio. Jas. E. Gilbert, from the Cincinnati Con- 
 ference, next served for three years and was succeeded 
 by J. L. Sooy, of New Jersey, who served the church for 
 two and a half years. Again a member of Rock River 
 Conference, in the person of Adam J. Jutkins, was ap- 
 pointed and served for two years. Now the church re- 
 
122 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 turned to the Kentucky Conference and Rev. Wm. Mc- 
 Afee served the church for three years. He was suc- 
 ceeded by Ira T. Walker, from Wyoming Conference, 
 who held the place for three years. F. D. T. Bickley, of 
 Western New York, served the church for one year, and 
 was followed by Henry Tuckley, whose health failed in 
 the middle of his third year, and who was on this account 
 released from the pastorate. J. B. Smith, of Hull, Mass., 
 was transferred to fill Dr. Tuckley's vacancy in the middle 
 of the year. He remained one year and a half and was 
 transferred to another field. He was followed by Dr. 
 A. D. Knapp, of North Ohio, for three years. 
 
 This bring-s us to September, 1896, at which time the 
 present incumbent, B. R. Wilburn, was transferred from 
 Johnstown, Pa., and appointed to Lexington. Dr. Wil- 
 burn has been warmly welcomed and has already begun 
 an excellent work. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 Dr. Wilburn is a native of Southwest Virginia. His 
 people have been prominently identified with the civil 
 and religious history of that State from the time of its 
 early settlement. His paternal ancestors were among 
 the sturdy Welsh pioneers of the Southwest. His mater- 
 nal ancestors were French Huguenots, two of whom 
 served as commissioned of^cers in the Revolution, and 
 the War of 1812. 
 
 In early youth Dr. Wilburn applied himself to the 
 study of law, but after graduating, at the age of nineteen, 
 he abandoned the idea of following the practice of law, 
 and began to prepare himself for the work of the Chris- 
 tian ministry. Shortly after entering the ministry he be- 
 came pastor of a congregation in Baltimore, Md. Dur- 
 ing his seven years' pastorate in that city he completed, 
 under tutors, a course of scientific and philosophical 
 study. At the close of his Baltimore pastorate, he served 
 as pastor of a small church m Cincinnati, Ohio, for one 
 year, from which place he was transferred to the Walton 
 Church, Pittsburg, Pa. His next pastoral charge was 
 First Church, Greensburg, Pa. From Greensburg he 
 went to the Franklin Street Church, Johnstown, Pa. 
 After a residence of two years in Johnstown, he was

 123 
 
 selected by the bishop, having charge for a pastoral term 
 at Centenary, and was accordingly transferred to this 
 city. He is among the latest accessions to the minis- 
 terial corps of the city, his work here having begun last 
 October. 
 
 Dr. Wilburn is a man of broad scholarship and deep 
 research, a careful and pleasing historian, and an elo- 
 
 DR. WILBURN. 
 
 quent and effective preacher. His degree of "Doctor of 
 Philosophy" was earned by the completion of the pre- 
 scribed university course of study. In his work he may 
 be said to be both aggressive and conservative. He pos- 
 sesses the faculty of endearing himself not only to his own 
 congregation, but to all the people of the community in 
 which he resides. As an organizer he is possessed of 
 more than ordinary talent, and knows how to use all the 
 working force of his congregation to the best advantage. 
 His sympathies being largely with young men in their 
 
124 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 efforts to attain position, he finds no great difficulty in 
 securing their sympathy in return. The matter of his 
 sermons is helpful, and thoughtful, while his manner of 
 delivery is deliberate, earnest and direct. He speaks 
 without the aid of manuscript, and spends no time on 
 preliminary discussion, but after announcing his text en- 
 ters at once into the spirit of his subject. He is an en- 
 thusiastic student of the peoples and literature of the 
 Orient, and is regarded as an accomplished Biblical and 
 Oriental archaeologist. He is an enthusiastic member 
 of several learned societies of Orientalists, among which 
 is the "Society of Archaeology and Palaeontology of the 
 University of Pennsylvania." This latter is a society of 
 learned Orientalists engaged in collecting and decipher- 
 ing the prehistoric annals of ancient Chaldaea. 
 
 The Doctor has been warmly received by the good 
 people of Centenary, and it is believed his pastorate in 
 this church will be satisfactory to himself and the people 
 he serves.

 Three of the original members have remembered the 
 church by bequests in their wills. Hiram Shaw, who 
 died in 1873, left five hundred dollars, the interest on same 
 to be used for keeping up the Sunday-school library. 
 Mrs. Keturah ]Milward, a few years later, bequeathed one 
 hundred and fifty dollars for the worn out preachers of 
 the Kentucky Conference, and last year the venerable 
 P. Sco'tt devised five thousand dollars for the benefit of 
 the church, the interest only on this sum to be used for 
 ten years, at the expiration of this time the entire sum 
 is to be handed over to the treasurer.

 The first Methodist itinerant missionaries sent to 
 Kentucky were James Haw and Benjamin Ogden. This 
 was in the year 1786. The appointment in the minutes 
 of that year reads, "Kentucky," the first circuit formed 
 in this vast territory. These two missionaries, however, 
 had been preceded by several local preachers of more 
 than ordinary ability, who had organized societies in 
 different settlements. Francis Clark, local preacher, 
 with John Durham, class leader, settled about six miles 
 west of Danville, and formed a society, in the year 1783. 
 About the same time, Nathaniel Harris and Phillip Tay- 
 lor, of Virginia, and Gabriel and Daniel Woodfield, of 
 Redsandstone, came and settled, the first two in Jessa- 
 mine, the latter in Fayette. These men preached to the 
 pioneer settlers and formed several small societies. 
 When the Kentuck}- circuit was formed, 1786, and Haw 
 and Ogden were sent to it, they found a few feeble Meth- 
 odist societies already existing; just ninety members in 
 all. One of these societies was at Masterson's Station, 
 four or five miles from the town of Lexington, where a 
 log church was built in 1787, presumably the first Meth- 
 odist church structure in Kentucky. 
 
 Although a permanent settlement was formed at 
 Lexington as early as 1779, under Col. John Patterson 
 and twenty-five associates, no Methodist society was 
 formed here for nearly ten. years, in 1789, although the 
 pioneer Alethodist preachers several times made a pass- 
 ing call. Conditions seem to have been unfavorable. 
 A few lay Methodists, very poor, but good, honest peo- 
 ple, kept the holy fire alive in their hearts by holding re- 
 ligious worship, such as prayer and class meetings in pri-

 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 vate homes, but no regular, organized society was 
 formed until about 1789. Very little mention is made 
 of Lexington for a number of years. In 1790, the first 
 Methodist Conference was held at Masterson's Station, 
 Bishop Asbury presiding, but he did not stop or preach 
 in Lexington. The first mention of Bishop Asbury 
 stopping in Lexington is in his journal of 1805, and then 
 he makes no mention of preaching. From these facts 
 we infer that the society as vet was small, and it was 
 
 HILL-STREET -METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH. 
 
 probably not prepared to entertain even a plain preacher 
 like Asbury; besides, there was no suitable house pro- 
 vided for preaching. We are informed, notwithstanding, 
 that, in 1803, Lexington asked to be separated from the 
 Lexington circuit and made a station; that the request 
 was granted, and Rev. Thomas Wilkerson was ap- 
 pointed in charge, yet the regular minutes do not agree 
 to this view. Wilkerson was appointed to Lexington 
 circuit in 1796. For 1803 the minutes read, Samuel 
 Danthet. The society in Lexington had a hard struggle. 
 Redford (Hist. Aleth.'in Ky.) says: "In 1819 the church 
 was verv small and feeble, and worshiped in an ill-

 shaped, dilapidated buildinfT^ far out in the east end, Hkely 
 at the corner of Dewees and Short streets, where the col- 
 ored Baptist church now stands. It was not till 1820 
 that this church received any special impulse toward a 
 healthy growth. A revival sprung up, as a result of the 
 great revival at Ebenezer, in Clark county, brought into 
 Lexington by those who attended that wonderful meet- 
 ing, mostly members of the church in Lexington, who 
 caught the holy fire and spread it throughout the city. 
 Up to that time, we are told, there was not a young per- 
 son in the society. The revival continued through 1820 
 and 1 82 1, during wdiich time a great many persons, young 
 and old, were converted and brought into the church. 
 
 Many strong men contributed by their zealous and 
 self-sacrificing spirit and efftcient labors to the early 
 establisliment of Methodism in Lexington and through- 
 out the region of Kentucky; such as Paythress, Haw, 
 McHenry, Lee, Massie, O'Cull, Page, Allen, Brooks, 
 Northcutt, Ray, Burke, Cook, Gibson, Baird, etc., but 
 the chief among them all was the invincible Francis Pay- 
 thress. Later, such men as Jonathan Stamper, William 
 Gunn, George C. Light, VVm. Stribbling, H. H. Kavan- 
 augh, George W. Brush, T. N. Ralston, Edward Steven- 
 son, John H. Linn, Edward Sehon. L. D. Huston, Peter 
 Akers, John Newland MafTett, H. B. Bascom, Benj. 
 Crouch and more than a score of other names, justly dis- 
 tinguished as among the greatest pulpit orators and di- 
 vines of modern times. Lexington enjoyed the ministry 
 of all these men from time to time, either as regular 
 pastors or frequent visitors. 
 
 The Hill Street M. E. Church (since 1845, M. E. 
 Church, South), has had its troubles, perhaps, more than 
 most other churches. In 1810 it was a station, and Dr. 
 Caleb W. Cloud the pastor. In 181 1 it seems to have 
 been again placed in the Lexington circuit with three 
 preachers, viz., C. Holding, E. Truett and Caleb W. 
 Cloud. Dr. Cloud was a man of pietv and ability, but 
 ambitious and eccentric. These qualities brought him 
 into antagonism with a large portion of the member- 
 ship and resulted in his withdrawal, tog-ether with a num- 
 ber of members, over whom he w-ielded great personal 
 influence. This secession occurred in the year 1812, 
 After preachino- for some time at his own house, he suc- 
 ceeded in building St. John's Chapel, where he offici- 
 ated gratuitouslv as pastor for quite a number of vears. 
 He finally came back to the Methodist church, and died 
 within her bosom May 14, 1850. 
 
148 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 The feeble and unprosperous state of the church from 
 1811 to 1819, when the revival broke out, was doubtless 
 largely due to the disturbances created by the event just 
 mentioned. 
 
 The revival of 1820 and 1821 enabled the church to 
 abandon its former ill-favored quarters and erect a new, 
 plain, but comfortable and commodious brick church, 
 50x60 feet, with a large gallery for overflow congrega- 
 tions, and for the people of color in her communion. 
 
 From this time, under the pastoral care of such men 
 as Ed. Stevenson, Richard Tydings, William Holman, 
 H. H. Kavanaugh, George C. Light, Spencer Cooper 
 and Peter Cartwright, the church continued to prosper. 
 
 The present church building was erected in 1841, and 
 dedicated by Doctor, afterward Bishop, H. B. Bascom, 
 one of the most wonderful of all the great galaxy of 
 American pulpit orators. 
 
 The division of the church in the United States of 
 America in 1845, provided for by the General Confer- 
 ence of the whole church in 1844, afifected, to some ex- 
 tent, the growth and prosperity of Hill Street Church for 
 a number of years, as, indeed, it did for the entire body 
 of the church in the state. Hill Street Church very 
 promptly connected her fortunes with the Southern wing 
 of this great body of Christians, and so has remained to 
 this day. 
 
 A second secession occurred in 1856. A difificulty 
 sprung up about the powers of the officers in the removal 
 of the pastor, Rev. Samuel Adams. It was followed by 
 the withdrawal of Mr. Adams and some fifty-seven mem- 
 bers from the communion of the M. E. Church, South, 
 and the organization of an Independent INIethodist 
 Church, w^ith Mr. Adams as pastor. The congregation 
 bought the old Medical Hall lot, and built on it a very 
 neat, plain, brick church. Under the leadership of Revs. 
 Samuel Adams and Nicholas Headington it continued 
 to grow, until they returned, a few years after, to the 
 communion of the church they had left, with over two 
 hundred members. They conveyed the property by 
 deed to trustees for the use and benefit of the M. E. 
 Church, South, which continued to use it as a second 
 church, most of the time, until 1866, when it was sold 
 for a city library, and the remnant of members transferred 
 to Hill Street Church. 
 
 During the great Civil War, from i860 to 1865, this 
 church had a great struggle for existence. Two sorts of 
 people were within her pale, the Northern and Southern, 
 
HILL-STREET M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH.

 and their opposite sympathies and prejudices kept the 
 church in a state of turmoil and confusion. The Union- 
 ists, however, held sway over the church in such way as 
 to cause many Southern sympathizers to go into the fel- 
 lowship of other churches. Quite a number, from time 
 to time, made their way into the Presbyterian and Epis- 
 copal churches, in order to avoid discord and enjoy a 
 season of peace. A church convulsed by the violent prej- 
 udices and passions, springing up on both sides during a 
 
 REV. H. P. WALKER. 
 
 desperate civil strife like ours, could not possibly experi- 
 ence much numerical increase. Up to this period, and 
 for years before, Hill Street Church continued to be 
 served by men of marked ability, such as Wm. C. Dandy, 
 John C. Harrison, John G. Bruce as P. E., R. Hiner, 
 E. P. Buckner, etc. 
 
 After the close of the Civil War, at the session of Con- 
 ference held in Covington, September, 1865, eighteen 
 members of the Kentuckv Annual Conference of the 
 
150 THE CHURCH RECORD- 
 
 M. E. Church, South, located and soon after went into 
 the communion of the M. E. Church. The occasion of 
 this course on their part was the decisive action of the 
 Conference, by a large majority, defeating their well 
 concerted plan for committing "the Kentucky Confer- 
 ence, as well as the General Conference, to seek a union 
 with the M. E. Church. This plan was outlined in the 
 majority report of the committee on the state of the 
 church. The minority report prepared by Rev. H. P. 
 Walker, proposed to relegate the whole question of or- 
 ganic union to the action of the two great co-ordinate 
 bodies of Methodism, etc. This report, after a full 
 and free discussion in open conference, was adopted by 
 a large majority, whereupon the "loyal eighteen," as 
 they have been styled, proceeded, the day following, to lo- 
 cate, but not until after the four delegates to the General 
 Conference, which had been called to meet in New Or- 
 leans the following May, had been chosen of men who 
 stood firmly on the minority report. 
 
 Following the lead of these brethren, in the latter 
 part of December, 1865, about one hundred members 
 withdrew from Hill Street M. E. Church, South, and 
 soon after, March, 1866, joined the M. E. Church in the 
 city of Covington, during the session of Conference. At 
 this Conference the eighteen were received as members, 
 and Rev. Duke Slavens. a gifted young preacher of 
 their number, was appointed to serve the newly organ- 
 ized church in Lexington. This was the third seces- 
 sion from the ranks of Hill Street Church. At this time 
 Rev. H. P. Walker was in charge of Hill Street Church. 
 He proceeded to consolidate the remaining member- 
 ship, comparatively few in number, and mostly of small 
 means, and succeeded, by the close of the year, in pay- 
 ing off a large debt upon the church for repairs, and leav- 
 ing a balance in the treasur}-. During the year he held 
 a protracted meeting, at which a large number were con- 
 verted and added to the church, and once more the tide 
 of prosperity set in. At the close of this Conference 
 year he was placed on the Lexington district, and was 
 followed in the station by Rev. B. M. Messick. The 
 church continued to prosper under the labors of R. K. 
 Hargrove (about nine months), S. X. Hall, H. A. M. 
 Henderson, J. Rand, C. W. Miller, H. P. Walker again, 
 Rev. W. F. Noland (under whom the old building was 
 remodeled into its present beautiful inside finish), John 
 R. Deering and E. L. Southgate. All these brethren 
 have done good work. During the pastorate of E. L. 
 
HILL-STREET M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 151 
 
 Southgate there was quite an extensive revival, and it 
 was during his pastorate that a fresh impetus was given to 
 the pet scheme of Dr. Walker, for many years, to have 
 a second charge in Lexington. After much effort the 
 design ripened into Epworth Church, but not until Dr. 
 Walker had taken the responsibility for three years of 
 having a Mission preacher appointed for Lexington, 
 and the work kept, for two years, under the jurisdiction 
 of the Quarterly Conference of Hill Street. Ep- 
 worth now gives fine promise of solid growth. Rev. E. 
 L. Southgate was followed in Hill Street by Dr. W. 
 T, Boiling, and he by Dr. C. H. Evans, transferred in 
 the midst of the present Conference year to supply 
 the place of Dr. Boiling, who was transferred to Colum- 
 bus, Miss. 
 
 The church is furnished with handsome pews, a beau- 
 tiful carpet and a fine pipe organ. The congregation 
 has provided, for the comfort of its pastors, a substan- 
 tial and commodious brick parsonage on Upper street, 
 and furnished it throughout with everything requisite 
 for housekeeping. Hill Street paid her pastor, in 1885, 
 $1,800, and I suppose the same for 1886. I have not 
 the minutes before me. She paid about $400 to the 
 benevolent collections, and $1,874.50 to other purposes. 
 She reported a membership of 494. The value of the 
 church building is reported at $20,000, and its parson- 
 age at $5,000. Thus it will be seen that after all her 
 troubles she is yet moving on lines of fair prosperity. 
 Hill Street has been kept up to a great extent by sev- 
 eral very marked revivals, viz.: 1820, under Dr. Ed. 
 Stevenson; 1830. under Bishop Kavanaugh; somewhere 
 in the forties, by Dr. Maffett, a great worker; two under 
 the labors of Dr. Walker — one in 1866, the other in 
 1878 or 1879 — i" which more than two hundred pro- 
 fessed conversion, and about one hundred and sixty 
 united with the church. The meeting continued for 
 eight weeks, and imparted wonderful vitality to the 
 church. Another, as already mentioned, under the pas- 
 torate of E. L. Southgate. There were also others, not 
 so large, yet of great value, but we have not the data 
 before us. May the bow of this historic church con- 
 tinue to abide in strength, and streams of salvation pro- 
 ceed from her altar to bless and save the fallen race of 
 Adam.

riRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 The First Presbyterian Church was estabHshed in 
 Lexington in 1784. They erected a log house of wor- 
 ship on the S. E. corner of Wahiut and Short streets, and 
 called to the pastorate Rev. Adam Rankin, of Augusta 
 county, Virginia. The church was first known as Mount 
 Zion. During Mr. Rankin's administration the con- 
 gregation was divided over some doctrine disputes. In 
 1792, Mr. Rankin withdrew from the presbytery, and, 
 with iiis followers, formed the Associate Reform Church, 
 over which he presided for twenty-five years. The part 
 of the congregation who were approved to Mr. Ran- 
 kin's views took the new meeting house, an unfinished 
 frame building commenced before the church trouble 
 culminated, which was situated on the corner of Mill 
 and Short streets, and called Rev. James Welsh, of Vir- 
 ginia, to fill the pulpit, which he did most acceptably 
 until 1804, after which it was filled temporarily by Dr. 
 James Blythe, the president of Transylvania University. 
 *Rev. Robt. Stone and the faithful John Lyle served at 
 different times, until the installation of the second reg- 
 ular pastor. Rev. Robt. M. Cunningham, of Pennsyl- 
 vania, in 1807, who served from 1807 to 1822. He was 
 succeeded by Rev. \Vm. McCalla, who was followed by 
 Rev. John Poage Campbell, D. D. Then came Rev. 
 Nathan Hall's long and prosperous reign, from 1823 to 
 1846. 
 
 Rev. Robt. J. Breckenridge. the most talented min- 
 ister in Kentucky, followed Mr. Hall and continued the 
 pastorate until 1853, when he removed to Danville as 
 professor in the Theological Seminary. His successor 
 was Rev. J. D. Mathews, whose ministry was so accept- 
 able that he was retained many years — from 1847 to 1870. 
 In 1870, Rev. Wm. Dinwiddie, of Virginia, was 
 chosen pastor, and remained until 1874, when the present 
 
 (166) 
 
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 167 
 
 pastor, Rev. W. F. V. Bartlett, beg-an his ministerial 
 labors. 
 
 In 1892, the first church dismissed seventy-seven of 
 its members to form the Maxwell Street Church, and 
 this offspring- has grown into a self-supporting church 
 of two hundred and fifty members. 
 
 It is also, in addition to its own Sunday-school, carry- 
 ing on a flourishing mission school in the northwestern 
 part of our city, and its members are engaged in Sunday- 
 school work in the country. 
 
 The ladies' societies are supporting a missionary in 
 China, and are about to start a kindergarten in one of 
 our mountain towns, and are active in helping- the poor 
 and sick of the city. The church has under considera- 
 tion, and will soon carry into execution, a project for 
 the enlargement and complete transformation of its 
 house of worship and the parsonage. It is expected 
 that the lecture-room and Sunday-school room will be 
 entirely separated from the main building, and will be 
 provided with the most ample accommodations. 
 
 No single church organization in Kentucky, per- 
 haps, has exerted so great an influence for good as this 
 church for more than a hundred years. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 Rev. W. F. V. Bartlett, pastor of the First Presby- 
 terian Church, was born in Portland, Me. At the age of 
 ten years he began clerking in a store in Portland, and 
 four years later went to Boston, and continued in the 
 same business for three years, when he left Boston and 
 entered the freshman class of Yale College, from which 
 he graduated in 1853, after which he went south and 
 taught school in Natchez, Miss., for several years, and 
 then went to New York and spent three years at the 
 Union Theological Seminary there, and returned to 
 Natchez and became president of Washington College. 
 On his return south, he was married to Miss Mar}^ Moore, 
 of Natchez, who is connected with the Moore family of 
 Danville, Ky. The Civil War coming on about this time 
 caused Dr. Bartlett no little struggle to decide whether 
 to cast his lot with the people among whom he had so 
 recently come, or to return to his native home and share 
 their fate. Plis sole object was to do good, and finally de-

 cided to minister to the spiritual wants of the First Ala- 
 bama regiment at Port Hudson. At the close of the war, 
 his health having failed, he traveled in Europe for two

 years, and on his return took the chair of Latin in Oak- 
 land College, in Mississippi. 
 
 In 1874, he accepted a call to the First Presbyterian 
 Church in Lexington, Ky., his first and only pastorate, 
 which he still retains, notwithstanding the fact that he 
 has received many calls from large churches in many 
 cities. The University of Richmond, Ky.. conferred the 
 degree of D. D. on Dr. Bartlett several years ago.

MAXWELL-STPEET 
 PRESBYTERIAN CHUPCH. 
 
 Historical Sketcli. 
 
 By Kev. I. S. McElroy, D. D. 
 
 The Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church, on the 
 corner of Maxwell and Lawrence streets, and between 
 South Upper and Limestone streets, was organized May 
 8, 1892, by a commission of the Presbyterv' of West Lex- 
 ington. It is a vigorous offspring of the First Presby- 
 terian Church of this city and came into existence after 
 this manner: 
 
 December 3, 1888, the session of the First Church ap- 
 pointed a committee, consisting of Messrs. James A. 
 Headley, John Pew and E. S. DeLong, to take under 
 consideration the propriety and the feasibility of establish- 
 ing a mission in some promising part of the city. The en- 
 terprise met with such a hearty approval that the com- 
 mittee, to which Elder R. S. Bullock had been added, 
 abandoned the idea of a mission, and in touch with the 
 views of the congregation, determined to build a house 
 that would answer at once for a church. 
 
 March 3, 1890, they purchased a lot on Maxwell 
 street, which had on it a two-story brick residence, facing 
 Upper street, and the same which the new church pur- 
 chased from the first church in February, 1897, and is 
 now known as the Maxwell Street Manse. 
 
 On that part of the lot fronting ]\Iaxwell street they 
 erected a handsome brick church, trimmed in stone, 
 lighted by gas, heated by a furnace and furnished with 
 modern pews, capable of seating comfortably four hun- 
 dred worshipers. 
 
 On the 17th day of August, 1891, this house of wor- 
 ship was completed, free from debt, and dedicated to the 
 service of the Lord by Rev. W. F. V. Bartlett, the be- 
 loved pastor of the First Church. 
 
 Rev. C. T. Thomson, who had been called bv the 
 session of the First Church to labor in this part of their 
 
 (184)

 field as an assistant to their pastor, began his ministry 
 in the new house of worship November lo, 1891, and so 
 great was his success that a petition, approved by the 
 session of the First Churcli. was presented to the Presby- 
 tery, April 6, 1892, asking for a separate church organiza- 
 tion. This request was granted, and a commission, con- 
 sisting of Rev. G. H. Rout, D. D., Rev. W. F. V. Bartlett, 
 
 MAXWELL-STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 
 
 D. D., Rev. C. T. Thomson and Elders D. B. Price and 
 James A. Headley, was appointed to organize the Max- 
 well Street Presbyterian Church, May 8, 1892. 
 
 The organization was effected with seventy-seven 
 members, of whom thirty-three were a colony from the 
 First Church and forty-four had been received by Rev. 
 C. T. Thomson in services at Maxwell Street. 
 
 The of^cers elected were Elders T. T. Forman and 
 W. L. Bartlett; and Deacons, Dr. Wm. Rhodes and N. H. 
 
186 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 Smith. To these were added, February, 1893, Elder 
 J. Morton Davis, and Deacons J. W. Yent and J. R. 
 Smith. 
 
 The church grew rapidly under the faithful ministry 
 of their beloved pastor. Rev. C. T. Thomson, and when, 
 in February, 1894, he severed his official connection with 
 it to become the pastor of the Bethel and Horeb churches, 
 there were a hundred and forty members on the roll and 
 ninety pupils in the Sabbath-school. Before he left this 
 field, in which his labors had been so signally blessed, 
 he moderated a congregational meeting February 11, 
 1894, when the church called Rev. I. S. McElroy to be 
 their pastor. This call was accepted, and the new pastor 
 began his ministry the first Sabbath of the following 
 May. 
 
 During the short vacancy in the pastorate, Rev. W. 
 C. Young, D. D., president of Center College, supplied 
 the pulpit for a few weeks, when the building was beau- 
 tified and made more comfortable at a cost of several 
 hundred dollars. 
 
 The rapid growth of the church soon made a demand 
 for additional officers, and December i, 1895, B. F. Van 
 Meter, Sr., and Dr. Wm. Rhodes were elected elders, and 
 E. D. Veach, Jas. Rogers and W. D. Gay, deacons. 
 
 During the five years of its history there have been 
 added to the original seventy-seven members, two hun- 
 dred and fifty new members, of whom the larger part re- 
 main unto this present time. 
 
 In February, 1894. Rev. C. T. Thomson was assisted 
 by Rev. J. H. Hopper in a successful evangelistic meet- 
 ing, when there were forty-two additions, and in Novem- 
 ber, 1895, Dr. McElroy had the assistance of Rev. J. H. 
 Evans in a similar meeting, when thirty-five members 
 were received. These were the largest accessions at any 
 one time, the others, for the most part, being received at 
 the regular Sabbath services. 
 
 The growth of this church in membership, although 
 quite remar'kable, has not exceeded its growth in those 
 other directions so essential to a vigorous and efficient 
 organization. It was never more prosperous than at 
 present, never more hopeful of the future and never had 
 a wider open door of usefulness. The congregations 
 are good, the contributions are liberal, the Ladies' Aid 
 and Missionary Societies are enthusiastic and the Sab- 
 bath-school of one hundred and sixty members is thor- 
 oughly organized with a corps of most competent teach- 
 ers, who are doing an excellent work in this department. 
 
MAXWEtL-STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 187 
 
 This church is especially notable for the activity and 
 sociability of its members, and for the charity and har- 
 mony that has characterized its histors'. 
 
 The seats are free, the offerings are voluntary, the 
 visitors receive a cordial welcome. The present mem- 
 bership is two hundred and seventy. 
 
 Biographical Sketch of Pastor* 
 
 The Rev. I. S. INIcElroy, D. D., pastor of the Maxwell 
 Street Presbyterian Church, is a native Kentuckian, of 
 Scotch-Irish Presbyterian parentage. His ancestors 
 came to America in company with the Irvines, the Mc- 
 Dowells and others in "the good ship George and Ann" 
 about 1723, and to Kentucky with a colony from Camp- 
 bell county, Va., which effected the first white settlement 
 in what is now Marion county, Ky., October, 1789. The 
 chief town of this county received its name from the old 
 log meeting house which these settlers erected shortly 
 after their arrival and called the Lebanon Presbyterian 
 Church. Near this historic spot and not fifty miles from 
 his present home Dr. McElroy was born July 30. 1853. 
 He was fortunate in having Prof. J. C. Fales, now dean 
 of faculty of Center College, for his instructor until his 
 sixteenth year, when he removed with his father's family 
 to Newtonia, Mo., where for three years he taught school 
 and studied law at night. When nineteen years of age 
 a conviction of duty to preach the gospel, which he had 
 successfully resisted on former occasions, took such a 
 hold on him that he was constrained to yield to the divine 
 call. Without delay he repaired to Danville, Ky., Jan- 
 uary, 1873, where he completed his academic education 
 and then spent three years teaching in the Danville Class- 
 ical and iSIilitary Academy. While teaching here he 
 studied Hebrew and Theology under Dr. Wm. F. Jun- 
 kin. He completed his theological studies in Union 
 Seminary, Va., May, 1878, and was ordained by the Pres- 
 bytery of Missouri the following September. He had 
 been a communicating member of the Presbyterian 
 church since he was eleven years of age. 
 
 From the theological seminar}' he went at once to the 
 charge of the Keytesville and Brunswick churches in Mis- 
 souri, where his labors were eminently successful until 
 
188 
 
 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 the climate proving prejudicial to his health he accepted 
 a call from the church at Stanford, Ky., October, 1880. 
 The following month he was married to Annie Lee, the 
 'second daughter of Judge George F. Lee, of Danville. 
 While pastor at Stanford he also preached for a part of 
 his time at Perrs'ville and later at Hustonville. 
 
 REV. I. S. MCELROY, D. D. 
 
 In October, 1884, he accepted a call to the church at 
 Mt. Sterling, and gave a part of his time for the first year 
 to the Springfield church as pastor elect. He remained 
 at Mt. Sterling until July, 1890, when he removed his 
 family to this city. At his earnest solicitation his church 
 consented reluctantly for him to provide them a supply 
 for the year 1889 while he and Chancellor Blanton would 
 endeavor to raise an additional endowment of one hun- 
 dred thousand dollars for Central L^niversity. This they 
 accomplished in seven months and then the Synod of 
 Kentucky requested Dr. McElroy to continue his labors 
 with a view to securing an endowment fund for a theo- 
 
MAXWELL-STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 189 
 
 logical seminary. The following spring he resigned as 
 pastor at Mt. Sterling and gave himself entirely to this 
 new w^ork. The Louisville Theological Seminary was 
 organized March 29, 1893, when the Synod most reluct- 
 antly accepted his resignation. While secviring subscrip- 
 tions for this seminary, aggregating considerably more 
 than a hundred thousand dollars, he also did the full work 
 of a successful evangelist. 
 
 Immediately on concluding his labors in behalf of the 
 seminary he accepted a call from the Lexington, Mo., 
 church, but his Presbytery refused consent and placed 
 in his hands an invitation from the Bethel and Horeb 
 churches, which he served until the following October, 
 wdien the Synod elected him to superintend the State 
 evangelistic work. Desiring to return to the pastorate, 
 he declined this important position and spent that fall 
 and winter with the First Church, Tampa, Fla., from 
 which he had received a pastoral call. He continued to 
 serve this church after he had declined the call until May, 
 1894, when he entered upon his present charge as pastor 
 of the Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church of Lexington, 
 Ky. 
 
 Dr. McElroy has been honored by his brethren with 
 some of the most responsible positions in his church. He 
 is now a trustee of The Louisville Presbyterian Theologi- 
 cal Seminary, a member of the Executive Committee of 
 the Synod's evangelistic labor and chairman of the Com- 
 mittee of Home Mission Work in his Presb}1;ery. He 
 was a delegate from the Southern General Assembly to 
 the Pan Presbyterian Council at Glasgow, Scotland, 
 which he attended in connection with a tour of three 
 months in Europe the summer of 1896. 
 
 The Central University conferred upon him the degree 
 of Doctor of Divinity June, 1894.

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 By Rev. W. S. Fulton, D. D. 
 
 This church was organized in 1815 with fifteen mem- 
 bers, and was then named "The Market Street Presby- 
 terian Church." The first church building, erected 
 mainly by men who were not then professed Christians, 
 was begun in May, 1814, and dedicated July 30, 1815. 
 The first pastor was Rev. James McChord, a brilliant 
 thinker, eloquent speaker, and faithful minister of the 
 gospel of Christ. He died May 29, 1820. To honor his 
 memory his people buried his body under the pulpit in 
 which he had preached, set a marble slab in the wall back 
 of the pulpit and inscribed on it the words, "The resur- 
 rection of the just shall unfold his character.'' Then to 
 still further show their feelings toward him the people on 
 August 26, 1823, changed the name of the church to "The 
 McChord Presbyterian Church." 
 
 There may have been elders in the church before this, 
 but the first elders of whom we have record in "The Min- 
 utes of Session," were ordained September 28, 1818. 
 They were Ebenezer Sharpe, then a professor in Tran- 
 sylvania University, Joseph C. Breckenridge, afterward 
 attorney-general of the United States, William B. Logan, 
 and William Henry. 
 
 After the death of Mr. A^cChord the church was sup- 
 plied chiefly by Dr. Robert H. Bishop, then a professor 
 in Transylvania University, and afterward president of 
 INIiami University, until the summer of 1823. A call was 
 then made to Mr. John Breckenridge, a young man who 
 had been chaplain of the National House of Representa- 
 tives during the previous winter, and was then a licentiate 
 of the Presbytery of West Lexington. Mr. Breckenridge 
 became later a minister well known for his ability in all 
 parts of the country. When he became pastor the church 
 had only fifty-eight members, but it had begun to manifest 
 
 (194)

 that activity in Christian work which has characterized it 
 ever since. 
 
 On March 30, 1823, according to the arrangements 
 made before that by tiie session, the Sabbath-school was 
 organized, and the members of the church "Pledged 
 themselves to their God and to one another to endeavor 
 to do something weekly and daily to promote the relig- 
 ious instruction of the vouth." The school met at two

 o'clock p. m., the teachers were to meet their classes of 
 "four or six scholars" exactly at that hour. A half-hour 
 was to be spent "hearing a small portion of scripture re- 
 peated and endeavoring in a familiar manner to enforce 
 some divine truth upon the understanding and the heart." 
 For seventy-four years the Sabbath-school thus organized

 has been the very right arm of the church. It has had 
 among its officers and teachers the most intelHgent and 
 devoted members of the church, and it has helped to train 
 for service in this and other churches hundreds of useful 
 Christians. Its present superintendent, Mr. John R. 
 Sharpe, has for twenty-two years been in office, and has 
 during all those years been absent only three or four 
 times. Its present primary teacher, Mrs. Dr. H. M. 
 Skillman, has efficiently conducted her department for a 
 still longer period. 
 
 In October, 1824, the first deacons of the church were 
 elected and ordained. They were Thomas Prentiss, 
 William S. Ridgely, and James Wallace, and since that 
 time thirty others have filled the deacon's office, and 
 "having served well as deacons have gained to themselves 
 a good standing." 
 
 The third pastor of the church was Rev. John C. 
 Young, a native of Pennsylvania, a pupil of the celebrated 
 Dr. John M. Mason, and for many years after he left the 
 pastorate of the McChord Church the successful president 
 of Center College at Danville, Ky. Dr. Young's pastor- 
 ate, begun October 27, 1828, lasted but two years. It, 
 however, introduced him to the Kentucky Presbyterian 
 church, and opened the way to his great life work as an 
 educator of young men. 
 
 The fourth pastor was Rev. Robert Davidson, whose 
 service extended from November 31, 1831, to June 28, 
 1840. Then he resigned to accept the presidencv of Tran- 
 sylvania University. Dr. Davidson is known to the 
 church throughout the country by his excellent "History 
 of the Presbyterian Church in the State of Kentucky." 
 It was during his pastorate that Lexington sufifered so 
 terribly from the cholera, and we owe to his pen one of 
 our most graphic descriptions of the horrors of that vis- 
 itation. 
 
 The fifth pastor was Rev. John D. Matthews, elected 
 April 22, 1841. He continued in the office until 1845. 
 During the first year of his pastorate the church received 
 fifty-three persons, and reached a total membership of one 
 hundred and sixty-eight. 
 
 The sixth pastor was Rev. John H. Brown, a native 
 of Greensburg, Ky., who had studied both law and medi- 
 cine before he entered the ministry. He was "remark- 
 able for his clear, direct style, and he presented truth 
 with a tenderness and pathos which made him eloquent 
 even upon occasions when least expected." His pastor- 
 ate extended from January, 1847, to December, 1853. 
 
SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 197 
 
 From Session Book, of October 31, 1847, we make 
 the following extract : 
 
 "Sabbath morning clear and pleasant. The McChord 
 Church, having been completed, was dedicated this fore- 
 noon. Opening prayer and reading 6th chapter of 2d 
 Chronicles by Rev. S. V. Marshall. Sermon preached by 
 Rev. John H. Brown from 26. Chronicles, 6th chapter, 
 40th and 41st verses. Closing prayer by C. W. Campbell. 
 The audience was large and attentive." 
 
 Rev. R. G. Branck was the seventh pastor, serving 
 the church for a longer period than any of its other 
 pastors. He was installed Februan,^ 12, 1854, and dis- 
 missed September 18, 1867. The church was also greatly 
 blessed during his ministr\-. But his pastorate closed 
 with the division of the church. Dr. Branck taking with 
 him into the Southern Presbyterian church a part of the 
 members of the Second Church. 
 
 After the division of the church Rev. Edward H. Camp 
 was pastor from Januar}- 26, 1868, to September 14, 1869. 
 But during this brief pastorate fifty-two persons were 
 added to the church. 
 
 The next pastor was Rev. G. W. F. Birch. During 
 his pastorate, which extended from 1870 to 1873, the 
 church was again well organized and prepared to go 
 steadily forward in its work. 
 
 Rev. Robert Christie succeeded Dr. Birch. He was 
 called November 19, 1873, and remained with the church 
 until July 31, 1879. During these years the church did 
 excellent work in all its different spheres of activity. 
 
 Rev. George P. Wilson was ordained and installed 
 pastor of the church October 14, 1880, and remained un- 
 til January 24, 1884, having accomplished a good work 
 during these opening years of his ministry. 
 
 The present pastor. Rev. W. S. Fulton, was called 
 March 3, 1884, and was installed May 7th, of the same 
 year. Since that time the church has received into her 
 membership over four hundred and sixty persons. Its 
 members, without fairs, festivals or other devices for rais- 
 ing money, have directly given to the work of the church 
 in the city between fifty and sixty thousand dollars, and 
 to mission work outside of the city they have contributed 
 between forty-five and fifty thousand dollars. 
 
 Tn 1876 the Ladies' ]\Iissionar\- Society was organized, 
 and for some years past it has been one of the best so- 
 cieties in the whole Presbyterian church. 
 
 For five years past a flourishing and useful mission 
 
198 THE CHURCH RECORD. 
 
 has been supported by the church in the west end of the 
 city. This is known as the Campbell Memorial Mission. 
 Erected and presented to the Second Presbyterian 
 Church by a faithful and useful member — Mr. William 
 Campbell — in memory of his beloved wife, Mrs. Serilda 
 Campbell. It was dedicated with interesting religious 
 ceremonies on Sunday, July 13, 1892. Mr. Campbell 
 was called to the heavenly rest on last Christmas day, 
 a year ago, and in grateful memory of Mr. Campbell 
 memorial services were held in the chapel the Sunday 
 evening following, when the pastor, Rev. William S. 
 Fulton, D. D., presided, preached the sermon, and Elder 
 Dr. Lyman Beecher Todd delivered an appropriate ad- 
 dress. The chapel was filled to its utmost capacity by a 
 deeply impressed and appreciative audience. A prayer 
 meeting is regularly conducted in the chapel on every 
 Thursday evening, by the pastor and elders alternately, 
 and also divine service ever\^ Sunday evening, which are 
 well attended by citizens of the vicinity, and growing in 
 interest. 
 
 A Sabbath-school, numbering over one hundred 
 pupils, is held here every Sunday afternoon, of which Mr. 
 J. Edward Bassett is the attentive and faithful superin- 
 tendent and Miss Ella Williams devoted and untiring 
 assistant superintendent. Much good has been accom- 
 plished by this school in the neighborhood. 
 
 On Saturday morning an industrial school is con- 
 ducted at this mission, attended by more than eighty 
 scholars and by many ladies of the church, who labor 
 earnestly and faithfully in this department, which has 
 already given gratifying evidence of great usefulness. 
 
 One of the elders of the church, Dr. John W. Scott, 
 from 1 87 1 to 1883, supported and superintended a Sab- 
 bath-school for the colored people and in the teaching he 
 was assisted by other members of the church, and at a 
 later date Elder James A. Curry superintended a similar 
 school. 
 
 From about 1864 to 1874 members of the church con- 
 ducted a mission Sabbath-school on West Main street in 
 the city school building. 
 
 During all of its history the church has been composed 
 of a liberal, intelligent and conservatively progressive 
 people.

 Biographical Sketch of Pastor. 
 
 The pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, Rev. 
 WilUam S. Fuhon, is a native of Washington count>% 
 Pennsylvania. On his father's side he is of Scotch-Irish

 was 'in the Theological Seminary at Allegheny, when 
 the great teacher, Dr. A. A. Hodge, was there. His 
 first pastorate was in the First Presbyterian Church of 
 Oil City, Pa., a church of several hundred members, re- 
 markable for the fact that it had in it but one gray- 
 haired man, and two grav-haired ladies. This pastorate 
 of five years was signalized bv two large ingathenngs 
 and bv the unusual number of men who were saved from 
 the drinking habit to become sober, Chnstian men. 
 
 The second pastorate was over the First Presbyterian

WALNUT- HILL 
 PRESBYTEI^IAN CHURCH. 
 
 Historical Sketch. 
 
 By R. H. Davenport. 
 
 Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church, in Fayette count}', 
 has one of the most illustrious histories of any church 
 in Kentucky. It was organized in 1785 by Rev. Alex- 
 ander Crawford, whose dust now lies in t!:e old church 
 yard. Rev. Robert Stuart (familiarly known as Father 
 Stuart), was its second pastor. 
 
 The first preacher I recollect was Alexander Craw- 
 ford, who ministered there many years. He was fol- 
 lowed by Robert Stewart, he by John Lyle, he by R. J. 
 Breckinridge and J. J. Bullock. Stewart and Lyle died 
 during their- pastorate of this church. 
 
 Some of the most prominent members were Dr. Todd. 
 Waller Bullock, Charles McPheeters, Walter Hawkins. 
 Andrew Armstrong, Samuel Bell, Dabney CJverton, the 
 Headleys, Will Dunlap, Col. John Dunlap, ]\IcClanihan, 
 Mclsaacs, Robert Boggs, Edmund Bullock, Mrs. Col- 
 onel Rhodes, Mrs. Charles Carr, Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. 
 Gordon Hunt (mother of Judge Joe Hunt). 
 
 Parson Stewart taught school there about 1824, and 
 among my old schoolmates were Joe Bullock, Robert, 
 Sam and David Stewart, Lunsford Chiles. Charles Mc- 
 Pheeters. \\'alter Carr and William Richardson. Joe 
 Bullock was afterward pastor of the church; David and 
 Sam Stewart became preachers; Robert Stewart moved 
 to Springfield, 111., and was a famous lawyer; Richard- 
 son moved to Illinois, studied law, was elected to the 
 United States Senate as a Democrat, and served in the 
 Senate with John C. Breckinridge. 
 
 Carr and McPheeters moved to St. Louis. Chiles 
 lived and died at Chilesburg, in Fayette county. The

WALNUT-HILL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 211 
 
 writer of this is, I think, the only member of the old 
 school living. 
 
 There was a singing- class taught there. Among 
 those who attended were the Misses Bullock, Carr, 
 Hawkins, Armstrong, Stewart, Simrall. Miss Sarah Bul- 
 lock, who was a sister of Rev. Jos. Bullock and Robert 
 Bullock, married a Mr. Simrall, and was the mother of 
 Judge Simrall, of Louisville, and Mayor Simrall of Lex- 
 ington. Mrs. Simrall and the writer of this are the only 
 survivors of that large class. The Sunday-school, con- 
 ducted at that time at the Walnut Hill Church, was the 
 only one held in Fayette county. John C. Breckinridge 
 was an attendant at the old church, lived wath Walter Bul- 
 lock and was indoctrinated into the principles of Democ- 
 racy by him, who was recognized as being the best posted 
 man in the country at that time. Gen. John B. Huston 
 taught school in that neighborhood, and it was said, 
 studied for the ministry, but never preached. 
 
 The pulpit was six feet high from the floor, boxed up, 
 and steps leading up to it. When the preacher stood up 
 3'ou could only see his head, while sitting he was entirely 
 hid from the congregation. The writer moved to Wood- 
 ford county in 1848, and is not ver}^ familiar with the 
 history of the church since. 
 
 It was a great county, the best and greatest of God's 
 creation lived there, the pure gospel was preached in the 
 old church, the good men and women who lived there 
 have died and gone to their reward, their descendants 
 have scattered, many of them in the pulpit and in the 
 legislative hall have left their impress on the history of 
 this country, the old church still stands and, as in the 
 past, the pure gospel of Christ is preached there. With 
 what a mixture of pain and pleasure are these recollec- 
 tions dotted down. One moment I can see tlie old 
 church, the school-room, the boys and girls, and can 
 hear the merrv shouts as they engage in their old-time 
 games, then my eyes fill with tears when I remember that 
 of all that number the writer alone is here, waiting for 
 the summer, trusting that when it comes there will be a 
 reunion of the old Walnut Hill boys and girls in our 
 Father's house above. 
 
 The old stone church was remodeled a few years ago, 
 and is a beautiful structure, and though its membership 
 is small, still has regular ministrations of the gospel.
