For years past the evening meetings
have been disturbed NJ much that
former pastor, W. j. Balm (now deceas-
ed talked of closing tn" church. When
Mr.. Wilson. the present pastor, took
charge he determined tO keep order at
all hazards.
Prominent amongst the disturb"rs
was a certain doctor. Duringa woods
meeting last fall, the preachers stand,
the fire stands, seats etc. were all torn
up in the night after the services were
over. Two of the fire stands were load
ed with powder and exploded during
preaching. Twice pistols were fired,
and drunken man made 80 much
trouble hat he had to be- taken away.
In spite of all this the meeting went on
until 1875 soulS were converted and 40
taken into the church.
