A Historic Tree.

Interest in the early history of Methodism
in America, which had its beginning in this
county about 1859, has been revived through
the purchase by Rev. Harold NJ. Rider, pastor
OF Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church.
this city, of the famous tree on the farm of
William M. Engar. near the historic Stone
Chapel, under which Robert Strawbridge first
preached the doctrines of the denomination.
The tree, which is huge oak, seven feet in
diameter, lies prone upon the ground, having
been felled by Mr.. Englar nearly two years
ago.
In addition to the purchase of the wood of
the tree Mr.. Rider has acquired the right to
mark its site with suitable memorial and the
right of way to the spot. 1t is understood that
his purpose is TO transfer these acquisitions
and rights to the American Methodist Histor.
ical Society, and that the wood of the tree
will probably be converted into souvenirs Of
early Methodism.
1t is also an interesting fact that Mr.. David
E. Stem, wealthy merchant of Sans Creek,
who recently purchased the farm upon which
the old log meeting house, the first Methodist
church in America. was erected and in which
Strawbridge preached, has sgni6ed his inten-
ton to transfer, by deed, the site of the build
ing to the Historical Society.

IN MEMORIAM.

In sad but loving remembrance of our dear little
son and brother, JACOB d. STARNER, JR., who died
october 2, 1907.
Gone so soon.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Ger the Spois that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say, Thy will be done.
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give and thou hast taken.
Blessed Lord, Thy will be done.
Little we thought so sad call
Was about to come to our home;
Little we thought That our dear Jacob
Was soon to be placed in the tomb.
In the church ard robed i'll daisies
Little graves are seen;
There sleeps the darling who has left us,
Soft in his bed of green.
BY HIS PARENTS.
A precious brother from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Oh. how dear we loved him;
Oh. how dear he played,
But now he is an angel
And in heaven is laid.
Beneath the shades of twilight,
In his white casket bed,
We gently laid little Jacob
To sleep among the dead.
BY HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

room and the addition which is
being erected this year and which
will accommodate thirty more pa
tients, is greatly needed. There
are two hundred acres in the farm
and we raise all OF our vegetables
and . great deal Of the meats.
We have an excellent gravity

time two-nile irrigating ditch is
being constructed 90 that with it's
