A GOOD WORD FOR LAUREL
COUNTY.
Candee Tells Of q Half hearted Mol

Maybe you think I have no good
word for the Laurel folks because OF
a little tar party some wild Lon
don chaps got up for me and my
comrades way back in ante-bellum
slavery days. You must remember
that was a time when a Northern
abolition preacher was regarded by
many honest Southern people as a
very dangerous incendiary. have
no. complaint to make against those
fellows. Indeed, had not little
sympathy and pity for them at that
time. They seemed, to me, to be
performing a heartless function for
some interests not their own. ]
knew Of but one STAKEHOLDER in the
whole crowd of about forty men.
He was a member of the Kentucky
Legislature, and afterwards apo
logized for being there for the pur-
pose Of preventing the mob from
extremes. No doubt his influence
modified their conduct.
The occasion OF the mObbing was
an appointment I had to preach the
post burial funeral sermon OF child
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Mobley at their
home about ten miles northward
from London. the County seat Of
Laurel County.
The child had been dead for five
or six years. There was nothing
strange about this delayed funeral.
II was usual practice in that
mountain country. "a prayer was
always offered at the burial by some
layman.) l once attended such a
funeral service in Rockcastle Coun-
ty conducted by Baptist preacher.
where the deceased parties were
the father. mother, first wife, (sec-
ond wife was presently and two sis
tiers Of the man at whose home this
service was held. There were two
reasons for this post burial practice;
usually, the desired preacher lived
many miles away; then the peoplo
would come to these funerals from
long distances many Of them on
foot. All of them enjoyed a good
social banquet. Few were prepar-
ed to furnish a dinner at the timo
Of the burial.
Bro. Mobley had other reasons for
this long delay. Though local M.
E. preacher he was an abolitionist
and did not have confidence enough
in a slaveholding or a proslavery
preacher to want one to minister
at the funeral. So he had me send
an appointment TO conduct such q
service.
Two companions went with me;
Rev. Kendrick fresh from Union
Theological Seminary, New York
City. and Uncle Bobby Jones. an A.
NJ. A. colporter with his satchel full
Of American Bible Society New
Testaments and Western Tract and
Book Society abolition tracts and
books.
The appointment was made for
Sunday morning. When we got TO
Bro. Mobley's we learned that an ap-
pointment had been made for a |
Presbyterian minister from London
to preach in a school house near
by. So we arranged to have a |
preaching service on Saturday AT
Mr.. Buckets house a mile away. !

THREE CHURCHES
To MEET As ONE
GREATEST GATHERING OF PREsBY-
rERIANs IN HISTORY or THE
WORLD AT ATLANTA.
THEY DIFFER
HOW
A LITTLE HISTORY OF THE THREE
DIVISIONS OF THE PREsBY-
TERRAIN CHURCH IN THE
UNITED STATES.

What viii probably be the great
est Presbyterian gathering the world
has ever seen will be held in Atlanta,
Ga. during the ten days, beginning on
Thursday.
There will be three gatherings,
which from time to time will be
merged into one. There are a num-
Der OF divisions OF the Presbyterian
Church In this country. The three
largest OF these bodies are the North
ern the Southern and the United
Presbyterian Churches. Each of
these Churches has q general assem-
bly, as its highest court. These three
courts are to hold their annual meet
ings in Atlanta. Each body will meet
Independently for the transaction Of
its own business. but there will be
various occasions upon which the
three bodies will meet together In the
great Atlanta auditorium for the pur-
pose OF hearing addresses of an in
spirational character dealing with sub
jects of common interest to them all.
Differences Are Slight.
These branches of the great Pres
byterian body are separated from each
other by only slight differences, and
yet each feels that these differences
are suficient to- Justify its separate
existence. In tho great fundamental
doctrines they ali agree. having al .
common creed the Westminster con-
yession Of faith and catechisus. In
government and forms Of Worship they
are practically the same.
One OF the vital points OF differ
enco between the Northern and South
srn churches 10 the matter Of political
deliverances. This Wa the cause OF
