| You are still determined to spend your

home a few days previous from Vassar,

But, my dear, what will Mr.. Royl-

We gave him to understand that you
would surely go, and it will be a great
disappointment to him.
Never mind, mamma, Mr.. Roylston

him as well as 1 possibly could"
why, Lottie, how can you talk so
when you know he adores you? There
are few young ladies that would throw
away the opportunity that you are now
doing. Robert Roylston is rich, hand
some, and comes of good family" said
Mrs. Armstrong.
Yes, and considers that he can take
a football" added Lottie. Mrs. Arm
strong was Mortified, but she knew 1t
would be useless to attempt to change
her self-willed child, so it was settled
that Lottie would spend her vacation on
the old farm.
1t was not Robert Roylston's fault he
heard the above conversation, as he sat
on the piazza near the room where the
mother and daughter were talking, ii
being impossible for him to get away
without letting them know that he heard
at least part Of their conversation. 80

into a comfortable two-seated carryall,

but it was the first church ever erected
in town, and was used by the Society
until 1881, just thirty-one years. In that

there was a great revival Of religion in
this church, under the passionate Of Rev

Of 1874 he began to organize societies.
Some of the first societies formed in this
State were in the Eastern part of the
State. and here Methodism had its great
est strength in its infancy.
Among the first Methodist families in
North Carolina we find the names of Col.
Taylor and Denlpsy IIirtem. Dempsy
Hinton and his Wife, Sarah Hinton, were
the first Methodists to settle in Wash
ington. They came to the quiet little
village of Washington in 1714, and
opened their house for religious worship.
At that time there was no church in the
place. These good people We're perse-
cuted by the ignorant and vicious people
OF the community; but they were faith
ful to Their Lord, and succeeded in found
ing the church. Bishop Asbuiy hearing
of the infant Society. just struggling into
life, made his first visit to Washington.
and strengthened these early disciples OF
Christ, and of Wesley. James Hinton,
a son of Dempsy Hinton entered the
ministry of the NJ E. church in 1888.

Bishop Asbury visited Washington
