A CENTURY and A DECADE.
Interesting Story Of Old Bethany
Church.
told In SERMON BY PRESENT PASTOR.

Dixon, Banks, Grier, Boyee, Stevenson
Have Been In Charge From tho Be-
ginning How the Congregation
Came Into Existence, and Some Of
the Most Interesting Incidents Of Its
Career Up to the Present Time-A
Valuable Contribution to the Reli-
sious History of York County.
On the Twentieth Anniversary of
his pastorate Of Bethany church last
Sunday, Rev. DR.. Stevenson took oc-
casion to preach a sermon In which
he reviewed the history of his church
from its organization down to the
present time, and at the earnest solicit
tstion of The Enquirer, he has kindly
furnished a copy Of the sermon for
publication. 1t Is as follows:
I Samuel vii, IL. Then Samuel took
a stone, and set 1t between Mizpeh and
Shen, and called the name Of 1t Eben-
ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the Lord
helped us.
The ark which had been in the pos
session Of the Philistines had been
restored BY direction of Samuel. the
people had put away their idols and
assembled at Mizpeh for worship.
When the Philistines heard this, know
ing that the children Of Israel would
be unarmed, the lords of the Philis-
tines determined to make an attack
on them. The children Of Israel were
naturally afraid and entreated Sam
uel to intercede with God for their
safety The prayer was answered In
a remarkable manner, for 'the Lord

centiate of the Associate Reformed
church, and for eighteen months or
more their worshipping place was
near Sparrow's Springs, not far from
the pinnacle Of Kings Mountain. The
people worshipping at this house and
those worshipping at Sharon and Car
mel united and called Mr.. Dixon, and
he was ordained and installed at Sha-
ron June 1st, 1897. This mountain
house was the common place Of wor-
ship for A. r. Presbyterians In Gas
ton county, N. c., as well as for those
in this part of York county, and about
the time the old house was abandoned,
Bethany and Pisgah were organized
under the pastoral care Of Mr.. Dixon.
1t Is thought that Bethany became a
preaching place in 1895, and tradition
says that the first time the Sacrament
of the Lords Supper was observed
here, it was in the woods, in the ra-
vine leading up from the spring west
Of the Kings Mountain road. The
first elders who served this congrega-
ton were William McElwee, Sr., who
as already said had been an elder In
the other church, Samuel Lessly,
James Crawford, Sr., and Alexander
Henry. These were installed and
Bethany organized in 1897. The first
house Of worship was Of logs and stood
about where the front gate of the
cemetery is. I may say in passing
that the building we worship in today
Is the third house the congregation
has occupied. In March, 1895, Mr.
Dixon moved into the bounds Of Beth
any from Cedar Springs in Abbeville
county, and settled on what We know
as the Christopher McCarter place.
across the branch southeast OF the
McCarter house. Bethany enjoyed the
services of this earnest preacher and
laborious pastor about thirty three
years, until the infirmities Of age COM
relied his resignation, which took place
March 26, 1928. He died December 80,
1881, and was buried in our cemetery.

CHAPTER VIII-Continued.

Presently he came back to me.
"Jim, must have talk with you.
Come over to my Office" When we
got there he turned the key and stood
in front of me. His great eyes looked
full into mine. In college days, gaz-
ing into their brown depths. by some
magic l seemed to see the heroes and
heroines of always happy ending tales,
as the child sees enchanted creatures
far back in the burning Yule log
flames. But there were no joyous be-
ings in the haunted depths OF Bobs
eyes that day.
Jim, you gave me an awful scare"
he said brokenly. Don't ever do 1t
again. I have little left to live for.
To be sure l have some feeling for
mother, Fred, and sisters. But for you
1 have a love second only to that l
should have felt for Beulah had been
allowed to have her. The thought,
Jim, that l had wrecked your life,
with all you have to live for would
have been the last straw. My life is
purgatory. .Beulah is only an ever
present curse to me-a ghost that
rends my heart and soul one minute
with a blind frenzy to revenge her
wrongs, the next with an icy remorse
that l have not already done so. II
l did not have her, perhaps in time
l could forget; perhaps 1 might lay
out some scheme to help poor devils
whose poverty makes life unendur-
able, and with the millions l have
taken from the main shaft Of hell l
might do things that would at least
bring quiet to my soul, but 1t is i'm
possible with the living corpse or
Beulah Sands before me every minute
and that devil machinery whirling in
my brain all the time the song, Re
venge her and her father. revenge
yourself 1t is impossible to give 1t
up, Jim. I must have revenge. 1 must
stop this machinery that is smashing
up more American hearts and souls
each year than all the rest of earth's
grinders combined. Every day l de-
lay l become more fiendish in my de-
sires. Jim, don't think 1 do not know
that I have literally turned into a
fiend. Whenever of late l see myself
in the mirror, I shudder. When I
think of what was when your father
stood us up in his office and started
us in this heart -shrivelling. soul-cal-
lousing business, and what l am now,
l cannot keep the madness down ex-
cept with rum. You know what it
means for me to say this. me who
started with all the pride Of Brown
ley: but it is So Jim. The other night
I went home with my soul frozen with
thoughts of the past and with my
brain ablaze with rum, intending to
end it ALL l got out my revolver, and

was hoarse, but it had metallic ring
that went to my marrow. Bob Brown
ley in all the years of our friendship
had never spoken to me except In
kind and loving regard. 1 looked at
him, stunned. I must have shown
how hurt 1 was. But IL he saw 1t, he
gave no sign. His eyes, looking
straight into mine, changed no more
than If he had been addressing his
deadliest enemy.
Again his voice rang out. What
brings you here? Do you come to
plead again for that bastard Reinhart
after the warning gave you?"

the nails cut the flesh of my palms.

done anything to make him happy,
would willingly have sacrificed my
own life to protect his from himself
or others, but this madman, this wild
brute, was no more Bob Brownley as
had known him than the bowling
northeast gale Of December Is the
gentle, welcome zephyr Of August;
and I felt a resentment at his brutal
speech that I could hardly suppress.
With a mighty effort I crushed it
back, trying to think of nothing but
his awful misery and the Bob Of our
college days.
said in a firm voice, Bob, is this
the way to talk to me in your own Of
fice?" At any time before, my words
and tone would have touched his all
generous southern chivalry, but now
he said harshly-"To hell with senti-
ment. What" He did not take his
eyes from mine, but they told me that
he was listening to voice in the re-
ceiver. Only for a second; then he let
loose a wild laugh, which must have
penetrated to the outer Office.
Eighty and coming like a spring
freshet," he said into the mouthpiece,
land the boys want to know If won't
let up now that Reinhart is down? Go
will take down to so. That's my an
swer. Tell them If Reinhart had ten
more wives and daughters and they
were all killed, I'd rend his damned
trust to help him dull his sorrow. Give
the word at every pole that will
have Reinhart where he will curse his
luck that he was not in the automo-

speaking to me again. What do you
want? If you are here to beg for
Reinhart and his pack of yellow ours,
you've got your answer. I wouldn't
let up on that fiendish hyena, not If
his wife and daughter and all the
dead wives and daughters Of every
System man came back in their
grave clothes and begged. I wouldn't
let up a share" I gasped in horror.
when did these robbers Of men
and despoilers Of women and children
ever let up because of death? When
were they ever known to wait even
till the corpse stiffened to pluck out
the hearts Of the victims? It Is my
turn now, and If let up a hair may I,
yes, and Beulah. too, be damned.
eternally damned"
I could not stand it. If I stayed, I
too, should become mad. I reached
for the doorknob, but before I could
swing the door open Bob was upon me
like a wolf. He grasped me by the
shoulders and with the strength Of a
madman hurled me half across the
room. I sank into a chair.

DEATH OF HAPAcHE KID"
Southwest's Dreaded Outlaw Slain BY
Chicago Man.

Dramatic stories of the death of
Apache Kid" the most notorious
outlaw in the southwest, a murderer
30 times over, horse thief, raider and
the terror of Arizona and New Mex
leo for the last 20 years. who had a
government price of $4,000 on his
head, are told by Chicagoans.
Though Apache Kid" was killed
last September, having been shot
down in a last-stand fight in the foot
hills Of the Sierre Madre mountains,
his fate was kept secret until today.
The bullet which ended his life was
fired by one Of a party Of Chicagoans.
For legal reasons the men who ran
down the desperado have never
claimed the reward.
The skull Of the outlaw will be pre-
sented by them to the skull and

One night three horses were stolen
from the camp, and Apache Kid
who had been making depredations In
the neighborhood, was suspected. A
party Of men rode out from the ranch
and finally came up with the fugitive.
They caught sight of him at dusk as
he rode into a growth Of pine forest.
Under cover of night the Chicagoans
surrounded the outlaws camp and
lay silently awaiting the first streak
Of dawn.
Two shots were fired at daybreak.
One missed a Chicago member Of the
posse by an inch. The other ended
the career of Apache Kid" The body
was covered and left where it lay.
Mr.. Foss traversed the old trail last
March, searched for the skull and
found it, and shipped it to DR.. Sam
uel Walker. The skull will be ready
for shipment to New Haven in a few
days.

there has been a corresponding in

desired to group with the other
churches and all of the time OF the
pastor was taken, Bethany agreed
with the consent Of presbytery to give
up one-fourth of the time, so that
Bethany now takes one half OF the

half.
3. We want in the next place to re-
fer to some precious seasons Of grace
that we have enjoyed. Let me say
that there have been some accessions
lat almost every sacramentil setting,
but there have been some occasions
that are worthy Of special mention.
A communion meeting began the day
Of the installation, DR.. Boyce remained
with US for that purpose, during which
there were twenty-six accessions,
eighteen by profession and eight by
certificate Just one year later a meet
ing was held by Rev. j. 8. Moffatt,
when there were thirty accessions, ali
except one by profession. In July 1892,
Rev. w. w. Orr conducted a revival
meeting lasting nearly g. week, at
which time thirty-seven were added.
all except one by profession. In jan
uary 1897, Rev. ]. p. Knox preached a
few days and ten by profession were
added. In October 1902, Rev. ]. M.
Garrison held meeting for US and
twelve were received by profession.
In August 1905, Rev. j. n. Pressly
preached about week and during that
meeting forty-one were receive, all
except one by profession. The total ac-
cessions to Bethany during the pastor
ate have been 302, an average Of fifteen
a year. If this gain was not counter
balanced by losses we would have q
large congregation. But alas! even
against this increase must be placed
decrease Of 11S certificates and seven
ty-six deaths. The present member
ship, not including few names which
iCdooiio oAO A~s SOer@s
ed, is 205. When 1t is remembered
that this is country congregation, and
like many others has suffered largely
by removals, think its growth has
been on the whole gratifying.
4. 1t remains to speak a little Of Its
development in the spirit Of Christian
giving. According to the report to
presbytery in 1886, the congregations
assessment for home missions was $s5,
foreign missions s53, and church ex-
tension 1920. Last year 1t paid about
800 for home missions, $214.2s for for
eign missions and sS5.63 for church ex-
tension. For two years the churches
of the charge have paid the salary Of
Miss Macie Stevenson, one Of our mis-
sionaries in Mexico amounting to $500.

In conclusion: ~ Let US thank God
for what has been accomplished and
take courage as we look forward.
Hitherto hath the Lord helped US"
(2) I am impressed from this re-
view with the perennial freshness and
power Of the gospel. It never gets old.
For one hundred and ten years It has
been preached here. The people grow
old and pass away; the children OF one
pastorate are the parents and grand
parents Of the next; churches have
decayed and been replaced but the
same gospel Is preached and is as
fresh as ever. What other subject
could have been preached all these
years without being exhausted or the
people turning from 1t in weariness?
Surely we have here proof OF Its d.
vine origin and its adaptation to the
needs Of our common humanity.
(3) Another thought that is sug-
gested is that strengthening the out
posts does not weaken the centre.
The membership Of the old church Is
larger than before the organization OF
the others, 1t is as strong financially
and spiritually, while the young con-
gregations are jointly as strong nearly
as Bethany, and are doing as much for
the cause Of Christ There Is that
scattereth and increaseth." -
(4) To US comes the exhortation to
be diligent while we have the opportu-
nifty, for the night comes when our
work will be ended. Our period OF
service is short. How many who were
once associated with US have fallen at
their posts! Soon the summons will
come for each Of US. Let us do with
our might what our hands find to do.
