plan h Installed.

The Associate Reformed Presbsterians o
Abbev!lle have been for a long time In neet
of q new musical instrument. At q congre
gational meeting held Sunday evening o
last week Mr.. w. T. Bradley was called ,t
preside. The subjee, OF buying d plano or ar
organ was discussed. Mr.. McDln said thai
we now had a good subs cription and an op'
portunity TO buy a nice piano at o reasonable
price. Therefore, he would move TO ascer'
tain the sentiment OF the congregation, by q
rising vote, as 10 whether or not We should
buy a piano.
Mr.. Bradley then said that the vote would
mean the action of The whole congre-
cation, and that If there was objection
O the motion, the fact should now be
made known. Whatever W. may do will be
the action OF the congregation, and ell alike
would be resp ,nsibls, and from which action
there should be 10 furture dissent.
On putting Nj. MoDill's motion by a rising
vote, It was carried, we believe. unanimously
with q single exception-one member not
voting. But that p%on-voter Ia now repre-
sented by q cheerful acquiescence and q good
cash subscription. And SO IL may be said
that all who were present were in favor OF
buying the piano. The agent being with
Us he was asked TO show the instrument.
With which ell we're pleased.
Largely through the zeal and liberality OF
MIR. j. Hayne MeDill, the plano was pur.
chased, and 10 now In the church.
II We. fairly estimate the sentiment, tbs
purchase OF the piano was heartily endorsed,
With q slight mental reservation or fear tbat
Due West might think that the little band
of Psalm-sipg gers at Abbeville, had cut loose
.frorn their moorings, and were wandering
far from the prejudices and sentiments Of
their fathers.
One member. too OF the Abbeville Church
said he would agree to the plano, but he
would draw the line alta fiddle or eorne,.
The church people were anxious to do the
properthing, without going contrary to any.
body's religious sensibilities. II. therefore.
any have been offended or ~estranged because
OF the piano. their wounds, are q matter Of
regret. They should have spoken out st the
proper time. Lovers Of music and progress
1 70 people, are invited to come 10 'ths little
around the corner" and hear tonne
good singing and 10 join the congregation In
their devotions. A cordial welcome or .
hearty greeting is extended TO all.
