K is well tikat we gather here and give ex pression of our thanks for such long service. I have never lived in this community but tnis cnurcn and I have several things in com mon. I was born on the eighteenth anniversary of H, organization o it is y just Mghteeav years older than I am. We both began life in a land afflicted with, the institu tion of human slavery, we both saw it die. We both felt the priva tions and hardships of a bloody war. We Saw the army of the ene my in its victorious march of dev astation. We both experienced the dire comequences of reconstruct ion. We have seen many seasons of finanoial depression, times that have swept away the property of many, and left them beaten in the race of life discouraged and dead on the field of battle, c We f have seen prosperous times, people hap py, .basking in the sunlight : of Heaven. In all the vicissitudes of this hundred years this old church has lifted its voice and lived its life for the betterment of human ity and the glory of God. The par allel lines of our lives are broken here. I f this was a funeral occa sion it might well be said of it as of one of old, it has fought a good fight, it has kept the faith.

This external form of religion was kept up , during the following centuries. , - . After the flood, manv vears la ter there was another division and scattering of the human fam ilies; Some branches lost 3 touch with the place and the form of the original worship and false i deas came in and eventually they became idolaters.

At the beginning of the race there was no such word in the human vocabulary as religion for no such thing existed.' Han was perfect, made in the- image of God, and walked and talked and worked with God, in perfect ac cord the ' one with the i other. This was in Eden. Allow me to say by way of parenthesis that I believe the Bible account of . the creation. But' life in Eden ended. Sin entered. The relation between Creator and creature ended, and our first parents fled naked from the presence of their Maker. . We are told that God made them gar ments of the skins of animals and established a new order of things ana a new relationship 'between Him and Han.

With one sentenoei tike a Damascus blade he severed the union of church and State when he said "Eender there-1 fore unto Ceasar the things which be Caesars's ana unto God the things which be Gods'." And this he confirmed when he said to (Pi late, "My kingdom is not of ; this world". Having thus severed his church from the civil government He gave to his newly established church the duty to wropairate the principles of true religion in all parts of the earth. This had been done and is still done in at least two ways, first by the i SILENT PBEACHEBS OF t ' ) BELIGIOH v ! The Garden of Eden with its marvelous-beauty with -the luxu rious tree of life and the flaming sword guarding it approach, with the altar for sacrifice, stood tl'J the flood and proclaimed - to all the people of that part f ,'the world facts about God and '.man. Adam lived nine hundred ' - and thirty years to translate to his contemporaries the voice - of the Garden. Lameoh the father of Ko ah was sixty-one years old when Adam died.

The second way of propasatlzg the religion is by; ' I5- mmAS Acnes , ' This led to the organization of local churches a work begun and carried to a considerable , extent by the people who knew Jesus in the flesh; and also by Paul who never saw Jesus in the flesh but met Him on the Damascus roa I, in a miraculous way. It voi.ll be interesting to trace the rise ol the supremacy of the church in Borne, the origin of the Pope, the claim of the apostolic succession, the conversion of Constantine, the domination of ' the I Catholic church of the civil and religious affairs of all countries of Europe, the secession, of the church of Eng land from the rule of the Pone bv Henry VHJ King of England, but time will not permit; suffice it to say that; all during these centuries there existed a considerable num ber of rn people under different names in various countries, under horrible persecutions, who insist ed on the right of religious free dom. This brought ' many of . the colonist to America. Stranse to say that these colonist having ob. tained religions freedom for them selves denied it to others, and by persecution drove them farther in to forest inhabited only by wild beasts and savage men. This sent Soger Williams to Rhode Island, and many less conspicuous, but equally determined men and wo men into what is now Korth Car olina. They were largely Quakers and Baptist, and Presbyterians in some sections. When King Charles u granted Carolina to, the Lords Proprietors they attempted t en force a form of government with the church .of England as the es tablished religion. The people re fused to submit to it About 100 years later came the . devolution, A war of seven years ' resulted in the independence of ''the colonies, then thirteen in number. . ,Six years after the end of that war came the formation of the consti tution of the Unied States and its speedy adoption by all the states, except Khode Island and North Carolina .- , . .' , - This wonderful document form ed by 'what was probably the abl est body' of statesmen that : ever assembled on earth, made no pro vision for religious freedom. Our state refused to adopt it.. The first eoegresi proposed twelve '.amend ments, ten of which were adopted promptly,- one securing: religious liberty and Korth Carolina went into the Unioh.

Joshua : "Thou art old and , stricken in ,, years,- and there remaineth yet very - much land to be possessed." The people that organized this church are gone, many of those who became members of it since that day are no longer here; Some of those still on its membership roll are old and stricken in years, but realize these is stall much work to. be done. The crying needs of humanity to day are so numerous,, and the methods suggested for . their re lief so varied that we are some times confused as to what the duty of the church is, and what the state' should do, where is the line of separation between church and state, what things belong to Caesar and what to God.
