Conversational Association.

The Thirteenth Annual Session Of the
Iowa Congregational Association has
just been completed at Davenport. Del
egates, to the number of two hundred,
from all parts of the State, were present
Day and evening sessions were largely
attended, the exercises being very inter
esting. Every Society of the Congrega-
tionaf church il an independent organi-
ration, governed by its own rules, and
in no way bound by any Of the acts OF
the General Association. which Is simply
an annual meeting of representatives
from the different churches Ito promote
intercourse and harmony among minis
tiers and churches in lis connection, t.
disseminate information relative to the
state Of religion, and enable its men,
be.S % GO operate with one another, and
with other ecclesiastical. bodies In ad-
yancing the cause o. the Redeemer."
The following IS part Of the history OF
the Congregational church in Iowa,
given by the Gazette:
"In 1855, Asa Turner built the first,
log church, where Denmark now Is in
Lee county. Another society was form
ed at Fairfield, and aaother at Danville.
In 1913, the fame of Mr.. Turner'S labors
upon the frontier Of civilization found
its way back TO the east, and among the
students Of Anjoyer Theological Semi
nary in Mass. One night at prayer
meeting twelve OF these students rosolv-
ell to come 10 the Territory Of Iowa, and
engage in the work of the Gospel min
istry upon the frontiers Of the West.
Nine OF the twelve carried the resolve
into effect, and on the 4th of October,
1913 started Oh their long and tedious
journey. Their destination was Den.
sass.. s~-a lues aiii'e" on '1""""s
the 9Th Of November, and were greeted
by large concourse Of people who came
to see them ordained for the ministry
the ceremony being conducted by Rev.
w. a. Thompson.
The next day after their ordination
these young men started forth upon
their work into different parts Of the
territory. There were then only the
three churches, with a membership Of
one hundred and fifty-fou in the terrific
ry. Two years afterward there were
sixteen societies, with a membership o
four hundred aud twenty-five, and ye
but one house OF worship built and use,
as such. This was marked success
but il was accomplished through tot
and privation tina. would have smoth

They Travelled through the length ant
breadth Of the settled portion Of the ter
ritory-at the most but sparsely set.les
-uHdaunted by WEAKNESS, or hunger
or storm, or hardship of any kind. l
appears now in looking back upon thei
career, that they were the chosen in
struments Of the Lord. They did no
doubt this then, and few there be VIII,
would question it now. They have thei
reward. To day there are one hundre,
and eighty-one Congregational preach
ers in Iowa, one hundred and eighty
nine churches, with a membership o
about ten thousand. Same of the cburcl
edifices, like those at Burlington ant
Dubuque, are among the noblest struc
lures in the State.'
