Not only Mr. Davis sympathy but his entire support of the Union causi dated from years before the war, when he was one of the "conductors" on the Underground Railway from Fountain City station. "On one accosion," he says, "I took a wagon load of negroes, men and women, from the Coffin house to the colored seminary near Spartansburg where they were received and later pased on by Ebenezer Tucker." Mr. Davis home, as well as that of Levi Coffin, was a station in the Railway, elaves hiding there when suspicion was too strongly directed toward the Coffin house. This house is now occupied by Rev. Aaron Worth, brother-in-law of Mr. Davis. Times after the Civil war were similar to those following the World war in high costs, says Mr. Davis.

The record of the two war veterans

is matched by the records of Rev

Aaron Worth and Rev. Luke Woodard

as old servants in the church. Rev

Worth, has been a minister for 70 years having been called at the age

; This early eairance to the ministry was due to his having been fequently

called upon to supply the pulpit in the absence of Ebenezer Tucker

Rev. Worth also has been an evangelist, a position requiring him to take

active part as a delegate in all quar

terly meetings, for 40 years. He has

preached in Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Kentucky, as well

as in Indiana and Ohio.

west of Indianapolis are recalled by John Keever in telling of his western emigration in company with nine others, in the year 1855.

The party, with two wagons and teams, spent 27 days in the journey to Omaha. "When we got a few'miles

west of Indianapolis one night, says Mr. Keever, "I remember we pitched

camp in what appeared to be a big wooded swamp. Only the higher

ground was dry.

"About Danville and Urbana, 111., only small towns then, we began to see" open plains country. Before that it had all been forested. Meets Old Friends. "Everybody was travelling and often 40 wagons would be at an evening camp. We met friends from our country all along the road. At one ferry in Illinois the ferryman called out 'There is John Keever,' before he had even touched the bank where we waited. When we went to file land at Omaha, the clerk, when he learned we were from Wayne county, asked if we knew Judge Test. When we answered that we did, he told us he was Judge Test's son. "We only stayed two months, entered or land and then came home. Indians were numerous. Pawnees at Council Bluffs, and Sioux at Omaha, but were all friendly." Pioneer farming is distinctly remembered by Mr. Keever. Coming with his family of 12 children from

Warren county, O.. a 170 acre farm J

Quail and turkeys also were caught in pens with 6olid fences, beneath which a trench had been dug. A trail of corn in the bottom of the trench would lead the birds Into the pen. Boards laid across the trench just inside the fence would leave its opening in the center of the pen and after the birds were once inside, they would only, run around next to the fence, never finding the outlet in the center. Four of the Keever family are still living, the others being George Keever of Detroit, Mrs. Ruth McCanq Fort WTayne, 92 year old and Mrs. Lucy Thorn. Lyna.

PRESBYTERY ATTACKS , N. Y. PULPIT WORDS PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18 Protest ing that doctrine contrary to the Presbyterian confession of faith is being preached from the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church, of New York City, the Presbytery of Philadelphia has petitioned the general assembly of the church to take cognizance of this alleged fact, it became known today. The pulpit of the First Presbyter-

Man church of New York City is oc

cupied by the Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, a Baptist clergyman and professor of practical theology in the Union Theological Seminary. The unusual arangement of having a Baptist minister occupy a " Presbyterian pul pit was brought about by the extraordinary efforts of the New York congregation, which considered the Rev. Mr. Fosdick to be- an unsually brilliant preacher. The action of the Philadelphia body it is understood revolves around a sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. Fosdick, last May. It was entitled "Shall the Fundamentalists Win?" and wa3 calculated to deliver -a hard blow at the Fundamentalists, who have created a controversy within the Baptist church. Another criticlslh made- of the Rev. Mr. Fosdick's preaching is that he compared the Bible with the Koran.
