Charles Ka1smer, young man OF de-
cided promise, was pastor during
1910. and Thomas Quigley followed in
18l1-'42 He was succeeded by Rev
John D. Curtis, afterward a promin-
ent doctor of divinity, who remained
two years.
During these eight years the
church received into her communion
many members from among the
prominent, stable and influential
citizens of the community, among
whom were James K. Garrison and
his excellent wife, who devoted their
consecrated lives to the cause OF
christianity and to the upbuilding OF
the church. They were always fore
most in every good word and work,
contributing both time and subs
stance. literally and beneficently.
Their names are indissolubly linked
with the history of Burton, and
should never be forgotten as long as
the church has existence. Another,
Brother Zorobs bel Mason, came into
the church at that time, and amid
all the changes through which it has
passed, and in all the trials it has
undergone, for fifty-nine years, he
has ever been faithful and true, al
ways doing we'll whatever his hands
have found to do; and now in the
evening of life, with his equally de
voted wife, a Observation-Disclosures
ter of the founder Of this church, he
is still at his post, serving his church
and his Lord with stcadfast zeal and
devotion.

% istor of Burton. He was not only
an able preacher but live pastor;
and began his pastorate with the
speedy enforcement of many whole
some but long neglected rules. He
NAV be said to have instituted new
epoch In Methodism. While serving
Burton great revival was held there.
Among the converts were Brother
William Martin, awhile since dead
and Sister Sally Ashby, who, through
long years praised the Lord with
shouts and rejoicing and still lives
to testify to His saving power. Mr..
Lewis ended his work with great
credit to himself, and with the ac-
complishment of incalculabfe good to
the church. The many radical
changes wrought by him in various
ways, both in the customs OF the peo-
pie and in their idea of church gov
eminent, opened up a new era in it's
existence, and the decade following
his ministry was far more prosperous
than any other in its entire history,
there being peace and harmony with
in her borders, and the minds OF the
people undisturbed by the question
that rose ten years later, which was
destined eventually to have such
far-reaching influence not only upon
the future course of Burton but upon
Methodism throughout America.
Mr.. Lewis's successor, Rev. John
s. Taylor, a man highly esteemed
and generally beloved served until
1897, when Rev. James A. Massey
came, remaining for two years.
