A Few Stray Leaves From Old Roberts
Church.

In the County Of Anderson, s. c., about
nine miles west of the city of Anderson, at
intersection or crossing of Biz different
roads, the old Presbyterian Church OF
Roberts wah located more than q century
ago by the Pew. John Simpson,. This
Church is still in existence and has a
large membership. They have e fine
brick building in good condition and capa.
BILE Of accommodating about three hundred
and fifty to four hundred people
After I'D absence from this Church and
community of about twenty-five years, l
find on visiting the old Church 30 many
new faces and 40 few of the old people who
wo%rshippei there at that time.
will only mention some Of the older
members, who I first met at this venerable
Church, and whose presence always did
me good: old Squire Ezekiel Norris, then
more than three score and ten Mr.. Alex
McClinton old Uncle Andy McLess bent
with age and more than four score; Uncle
Jimmie McLees. although an old man,
one Of the most vigorous and jealous
workers in the Church aud q flo presid-
ing officer, with strong executive ability,
always ready for work; old Uncle JEFF
MrLses-what a grand old man, so full of
love for bis Church and his fellow man,
hl"hSG AuuLluk uP poo ~ u -
afdiction, and trying to turn their thoughts
to . higher power for comfort. How often
have I heard the voice of this good man
in the home or the poor ascending to Coo
in prayer in their behalf. Oh! for more
such men in every community. Col. FEE
Harrisnu-what a noble Christian gentle .
man he was Col. Harrison not only
contributed freely and generously to every
enterprise Of his Church, but he was 30
full of love and sympathy for the poor
that he always made them feel that they
could never want If he was near them.
He was truly the friend of the poor. Old

son, DR.. r s. Haynie, and some others
who I cannot now recollect. There were
also a large number OF ladies, relatives OF
those PANIED above, that are not here now.
Nearly ell Of these have crossed over the
dark River. some have children still attend
ing this old Church. but some have no one
here to represent them. As I walk through
the old grave yard I see many familiar
names on the head stone and I wonder II
they are looking down on the old Church

higher. I find In the old graveyard The
names of those who were leading spirits

Jeferson's birthday is to be generally
celebrated this year. A circular letter
has been sent out to the various Demo-
cratic clubs asking that the day be fitting
u observed By, all Democrats. It is need
less to say that there is no Democrat wor-
thy o the name who will not be glad to
comply with The request. There is no
special reason why the celebration should
be confined to Democrats. Jefferson's
memory deserves to be kept green in the
heart OF every true American, and, in
deed, in the heart OF every man who
loves the principles of liberty which he
did so much TO establish-the rights OF
man, religious liberty, and universal ed
ucation.
