for church business on the Saturday before the

remember that the Stewart and Lambert trouble
was before the church almost or quite every
month. do not remember OF having attended
any more meetings at the old meeting house after
the great trial. in the year 1882. The monthly
meetings were held either at Oak Hill, or at the
residence of Elder Levi Mcdaniel, half q mile be-
low Portland.
All through the years 1888 and 1884, this
trouble continued to agitate the church. Ire

and the negro race generally, when another sister
told her that she ought not to talk so, asthe ne

church meetings, as they were called, on Satur-

quarrel was going on as usual, and tired out, and
hopeless of any reconciliation, Elder Mcdaniel
moved that the constitution Of the church be dis
solved, and that the members give each other let

question put and carried without debate, and the
meeting at once adjourned. 1t was thought thai
this was the end of Union church, It having existed
some fifteen years. l]H
When the members Of the Stewart party had
time to reflect, they concluded that the church
had no power to dissolve Its constitution, ant
they treated this action as void, and they carried
on their regular monthly meetings as usual, unde
