On Thursday evening, Jan. II, an i'm
portant and interesting event took place
which may ultimately prove Of beneficial
influence to the residents of this district
in general. For many years past religious
services have been conducted in the two
school houses known as the "CrandaH"
and s'Croft' schools. Some year and a
half ago, Rev. James Ellington of West
Charleston commenced to hold services,
preaching on alternate Sunday afternoons
in the schooIhouses mentioned to congre-
cations that filed the buildings. Several
OF the constant attendants at these services
were anxious that a Christian church or
society should be organized, and a COM
mittee was appointed to arrange for the
same. All preliminaries having been ar
ranged a meeting was called to 1naGg urate
a Christian church, Rev. Mr.. Ellington
having been appointed chairman of the
meeting. The committee gave their re-
port. which was duly confirmed by the
following resolutions being submitted to
the meeting and unanimously approved by
vote:
First, That church shall be formed to
be known and designated as the Free
Christian church.
Second, That any person shall be el1el-
BILE for membership with thegchurch who
shall unfeignedly give their assent ana
consent TO the apostles creed, and VINO
shall sincerely endeavor to carry out the
principles and practice of the Chrlstllke
life.
and Crofts shall be the deacons of this
church and Mrs. Charles Young organlst
This church starts with twenty mem
bers and the outlook is promising for an
addition to this mum Der before very long.
Already there is a f1ourishing Sunday
school associated with this church under
the superintendency of Mr.. Kingsley, with
an efficient staff of teachers. Rev. James
fist church, West Charleston, is pastor
also of this neWIy-formed church. AS
there is no other church within a distance
of four or five miles, it Is felt that an or
ganization such as this Free Christian
church represents, seeing that its mem
bership comprises Christian believers of
various doctrinaI views, cannot fail of
being helpful to all who in the name of
our common Lord and Master, Jesus Christ,
desire to see His kingdom extended and
His cause prosper. -.. ..-

Mr. Editor,I have long been of the
opinion that in order to keep posted con-
corning the important happenings of the
day it is necessary to carefully read the
local items of the county papers. Notwith-
standing, was much surprised upon re-
ceiviug the last MONITOR to learn that
had been so unfortunate as to freeze both
hands, and l am awaiting with great anxi-
ETY. the next issue to know if amputa ton
will be necessary. w. n. ALDRICH.
