A Historic Tree Dear to Methodists.-A
letter from Westminster says: Interest in
the early history of Methodism in America,
which had its beginning in this county about
1885, has been revived through the purchase
by Rev. Harold M. Rider, pastor of Centenary
Methodist Episcopal Church, this city. of the
famous tree on the farm of William M. Englar
near the historic Stone Chapel, under which
Robert Strawbridge first preached the doctrines
of the denomination. The tree, which is q
huge oak, seven feet in diameter, lies prone
upon the ground, having been felled by Mr.
Englar nearly two years ago.
I'm 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 thai
his purpose is to transfer these acquisitions and
rights to the American Methodist Historical
Society, and that the wood of the tree will
probably be converted into souvenirs OF early
Methodsm.
ut is also an interesting fact that Mr.. David
E. Stem wealthy merchant of Sans Creek
who recently purchased the farm upon when
the old log Westinghouse the first Methodist
| Church in America, was erected and in which
| Straw bridge preached, has signited his inten'
ton to transfer. by deed the site of the build
ing to the Historical Society"

discovered. The Glyndon Fire Company ancc
many residents of the surrounding communl
ties responded to the alarm and with grea
difficulty prevented the flames from spreading
to the adjoining warehouses and the residence
of the late Peter G. Zouck. Several frelgh
cars standing on the railroad siding wer'
burned. The total loss will amount to prob
ably $1,000, which is partly covered by lnsur
ance. Mr.. Coryell Hayes, the manager of thu
company, was nearly drowned in large tanf
of water while engaged in fighting the flames
