METHODISM'S PART

Rev. Seotten Preached at and Gives History of Spot the First Methodist Sermon was Preached

Rev. A. E. Scolton, a Methodist Protestant minister of the Indiana Conference, and a resident of this city many years while he was one of the city mail carriers, but now a student at Westminster, Maryland, writes the following interesting letter from that place concerning the historical spot where Methodism was lirst planted in America. The letter follows: ''Westminster, Md.. Feb. 20. ''The Daily Reporter, Greenfield. "My interest has been recently awakened in a bit of history which may be of interest to you and the readers of your paper. It is in reference to the planting of Methodism in America. My interest in it was aroused in this way: Last fall a party of us from the seminary here took a tramp of about five miles into the country, to what* is known as the Straw-bridge Oak. It was so named from the fact that here the first Methodist sermon in America was preached, by Rev. Robert Strawbridge. He was an Irishman who was converted in a Methodist meeting, and soon after began to preach. Through persecution, he was forced to leave his native place and soon came to -America. Here he at once began to preach, and the first sermon was delivered beneath this tree in 1760.

Mr. Strawbridge settled near this place on what is known as Sam's Creek, in Carroll county, Maryland. As soon as possible, he opened his house for preaching services, but for some time preached under this tree. There is a spring near by, which made it an ideal place for holding meetings such as was the custom in those days. The treowas cut down about live years ayo. and nothing but the stump remains and it is pretly will decayed, bui not so badly but that we secured several pieces as souvenirs.

'Soon after Mi gan preaching place about liv selected as- tinHere the first

Strawbridge beiere. a convenient miles from it was!

sile of a church.

Not from the mere fact of preaching, but from the connection of this church with our early history as a nation and the part Methodism has had in the development of this great country. a "Such is in brief the history of the planting of Methodism in our

America. Yours truly, "A. E. SCOTTEN.*'

CEMETERY ENTRANCE SUBJECT DISCUSSED

Proposal of New Entrance to Park Cemetery Farther South Awakens Interest.

The subject of making a new drive-way entrance to the central part of Park cemetery is awakening considerable interest. The present entrance is at the northwest corner, by way of Cemetery street. That part of the cemetery is about all taken up, and those favoring a new entrance would make it from the south part of State street, so that it would reach the cemetery near the center of the west side. By such an arrangement, it is said the new part of the cemetery, which is being used more for burial purposes than the old, could be more readily and conveniently reached. Tt is proposed by some that a tract of ground lying between South State street, and the

ECHOES FROM RUSHVILLE

Kushville Happenings Always Merest Our Readers.

In-

After reading of so many people in our town who have been cured by Doan's Kidney Pills, the question naturally arises: "Is this medicine equally' successful in our neighboring towns?" The generous statement of this Rushville resident leaves no room for doubt on this point.

John Singer, 201 St. Paul St., Rushville, Ind., says: "I suffered from backache, especially at night, and when I got up in the morning I was lame. I tired easily and headaches and dizzy spells bothered me. The kidney secretions contained a sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills greatly benefited me." "When Your Back is Lame—Remember the Name." Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Singer had. 50c, all stores. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. 17

Heart Disease Almost Fatal to Young Girl

"My daughter, •when thirteen years old, was stricken with heart trouble. She was so bad we had to place her bed near a window so she could get her breath. One doctor said, 'Poor child, she is likely to fall dead any lime.' A friend told me Dr. Miles'

Heart Remedy had cured her father, so I tried it, and she began to improve. She took a great many bottles, but she is spared to me today, a fat, rosy

cheeked girl. No one can imagine the confidence I have in Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy." A. R. CANON, Worth, Mo.

The unbounded confidence Mr. Canon has in Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy is shared by thousands of others who know its value from experience. Many heart disorders yield to treatment, if the treatment is right. If you are bothered with short breath, fainting spells, swelling of feet or ankles, pains about the heart and shoulder blades, palpitation, weak and hungry spells, you should begin using Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy at ones.
