about $3,000.
He told of pastoral ministrations
from the occasional preaching of
one, the Rev. David Derrick, i
through the struggles incident to
growth up to the present "with its
tnree stations, requiring the
time and labors of 'three pastors,
each church having : a good and
suitable parsonagre. .
He reviewed the branchiner-out
from Central in 1982 by a Sun
day school, which was organized
at Forest Hill, superintended by
Mr. W R Odell from then contin
uously on till now, which led to
the formation of the consrresa-
tibn there and then the erection '
ot the church m 1888, also the
building of Epwo -' h chn ch at
Cannonviile in 18 i.'. : ' ,
Pastors and presiding elders
in chronological order were
noted, and; the late sainted Dr.
Creasy ;was called the .father of
Forest Hill church and Dr. H W
Bays of Epworth church, as thev
were the instrumental causes of
the enterprises.
H He recounted labors done
and the development of. benevo

shoving Gi 5j,C00 ceatributed by
the Mqthodists of Concord dur

causes of the church.
A number of prominent ' lay
men, males and females, were
enumerated both living: and

latter was that sturdy yeoman,
the late Willis Elkms, whose life
