Some imperialistic gentle
men in Germany would avoid
trouble by reading a few pages
of history. The Count of
Greseneaus, near Magdebsrg,
kept the kaiser's flag flying
above his castle. When "the
mob" tried to haul It down his
servants fred on that mob.
People in castles learn slowly.
A certain Frenchman-he had
a castle-said: "Let them eat
grass" when told the people
were clamoring for bread. They
carried that mans head around
the streets of Paris later, stuck
on a pike, his mouth stuffed
full of grass-too late for him
to know that grass isn't accept
able food. Not too late, you
would think, to be q warning
to others that live in castles.

According to scientific journal, moth
breeding is of the latest hobbies. 1t has
been our experience that moth-breeding is un-
necessary. They just seem to breed them
selves. After they consume the tails of the
dress coat, you arc obliged to wear it as
tuxedo. One learned commentator says he
hopes the new hobby of woodworking will
have the effect of teaching the insect how to
dress properly and that nothing is more
vexatous than 1, to see moth going about in
fur coat many times too large for il.

HISTORY OF METHODISM IN

AT Corner Stone Laying
August Is, 1922.


August IS, 1922.
For long time the Society OF
Friends in their West Nottingham
Meeting House furnished the only
religious instruction for the Rising
Sun community. After the building
OF West Nottingham Presbyterian
church, miles away, very few OF
the people of the town attended SER
vice there.
About 1916 the first Methodist
services were held in Rising Sun by
the Rev. Jacob Gruber, the eccentric
Methodist Itinerant. These were
held in blacksmith shop owned by
Mrs. Sarah Langdon, and later in
the Old Stone School House east OF
town. These services were only
passing events which did not result
in converts, the forming of society,
or the building of a church.
II In October 1849 Thomas w. Sim
pers. young man serving as Junior
preacher on Nottingham Circuit,
conducted revival services at Mt.
Pleasant. called in those days, Vim
egar HILL BY the way 1t was so
named because storekeeker there
did a thriving business in selling
liquor. Because he had no license
he sold his intoxicants under the
name OF vinegar, Hence the name
Vinegar HILL"
But good things, as we'll as evil,
originated on Vinegar Hill In the
revival services conducted there by
Thos. w. Shippers about score OF
people from Rising Sun were COLI
verified. Among these was Elm
Kirk, who became a leading spirit
among the early Methodists of this
town, and atterward most efficient
local preacher.
When the revival services closed
at Mt. Pleasant two Albright Meth
odist preachers, Davis Hambright
and William Boyer, came from the
upper part of Lancaster county, ana
conducted successful revival in
Rising Sun. The services were hello
for two or three weeks in the school
house. which stood near the site OF
the present school on Pearl Street.
After this they were conducted IN
the wheel-wright shop of Jacob w.
Kirk, who stood by his bench ali
day. and then In the evening cleaned
This shop for the religious services.
These Albright Methodists organized
a society in 1850, and being unable
to secure site for a church in the
town, they bought site of Rufus
Kirk, about two miles north of the
town, and called the brick church
which they built in 1851 Mt. Hope.
