THE CHURCHES OF YALE.
There are five churches in the village
of Yale, viz, the Methodist Episcopal,
Methodist Protestant, Church of Christ,
Disciple and Free Methodist.
Twenty three years ago while Yale
(then Brockway Centre) was very
small village, the A. &. Church, now
known as the Church of Christ. was
built. This was the first church in the
village, services being held previous
to this time in school houses and other
buildings. 1t was at first a wooden
building, but in 1888 was torn down
and rebuilt in the same place. this time
being veneered with brick. Their
minister Elder j. II. Patton, of Almont,
has served the church for twenty
years, and presume If he were to live
that long the congregation would be
willing to listen to his discourses twenty
years longer. The church will seat
about two.hundred- fifty and there are
thirty-five or forty members.
The next church in order was the
Methodist Protestant, il being built in
the year 1874. This church is made of
wood and in 1893 the old part was re-
paired and an addition built on which
adds much TO the appearance of the

occupants, for the church will now
seat about four-hundred-tifty. The
cost of building the new part was 5000.
Their present minister is Rev. w. F.
Perkins and their members number
about one-hundred twelve.
1t can be easily seen that the church
interest of Yale was rapidly increasing,
| for while these two churches were be-
ing built the foundation OF the Metho-
| dist Episcopal church was laid, but the
church was not finished till the year
| 1875. Fourteen or fifteen ministers
at the present time being Rev. j. +. III.
| Harrison. About seYenty-five were
taken into the church on probation
this winter and the membership before
this time was eighty. This church il

mediation of the congregations that
gather there each Sunday, but plan:
are now ready for the building of q
Inew church or remodelling the old one
which, when finished, will perhaps bt
the largest church in the place, having
a seating capacity of five hundred.
In the summer of 1893 the church
Interests of Yale were again awakened
by the building of the Disciple Church
lon Mechanic Street and the Free Me
thodist church on Mary Street.
The Disciple church is furnished will
lopera chairs and will seat perhaps two
hundred fifty or three hundred per
sons. 1t was dedicated Oct. ], 1893
and presents very neat appearance
both inside and out. When finished
and furnished it cost $500. Thei
members at present number abou
} ninety and their pastor is Elder X
Bruce Brown.
The Free Methodist church Is de
signed to seat two-hundred-tifty anC
Rev. Dunn, of Memphis, fills thi
} appointment. The church was dedi
Gated Oct. 30. 1898. The membership
is but twelve (they have been organized
only short time) bot it is to be hoped
that time will increase their member
ship as it has thatof the other churches
Surely, Yale should be styled TIT
