A CAR of lumber was loaded at Bangor, a
station on the Rutland Railroad near Ogdens-
burg, N. Y, nine years ago and it has not yet
yeached its destination. On September 18th,
Uses, it was taken to Rouse's Point. 1t was
billed to the J. A. Shepard Lumber Company.
On October 9TH of the same year the car had
reached Burlington, VT, and last week it was
pulled into Maiden, Mass. 1t has been cast at
the doors of one firm after another, only to be
refused, and continued on its way in search of
a home. Where the Shepard Lumber Com
pany is located no one seems to know.

THE BODY Of Horace Marvin, the four-year-
old son Of DR.. Horace N. Marvin, of Delaware,
who mysteriously disappeared from his home
Just two months BEFORE was found on the 4th
instant. 1t was believed that the child had
been kidnapped and was being held for a ran
som, but it would seem that the facts do not
bear out this conclusion. The little fellow was
found lying face downward on marshy piece
of ground Just 100 feet from his home. The
place where the body was found is said to have
been traversed many times in the search that
had been made for the boy in the two months
of his absence. It is believed by many, in
GLIDING the father. that the boy was kidnap-
ned and that those who committed the crime
became frightened and put the boy out of the
way and then placed the body where it was
sure to be found. 1t was well preserved and
the clothing was exactly as was when the boy
disappeared. DR.. Marvin had just moved to
Delaware from Iowa and was soon to begin
the erection of fine residence for himself.
He has changed his plans since this occurrence
and will return to Iowa.

The next pastor was Rev. John D,
Young, who took charge of the con-

his death in 1904. During his min
istry 143 members were added to the
church. There are members of the
congregation today who remember

Mr.. Youngs manly, Christian virtues
and qualifications. 1t was he who
drew up the first known constitution,

next pastor. He took charge in
1908 and served six years Rev John
Kaehler became pastor in 1917, and
Rev. Charles P. Krauth, d. d., in
1919. The religious interest Of this
young man was SO intense that a
prayer of his was recorded in the
church record. Under his ministry
there was a great revival. He was
the first minister who preached in
English.
1t was in this old church that 9
conference was held which consider
ed the first movement toward estab-
fishing a theological seminary, and
collection was taken toward this
