The Sunday School Rally held at the new Methodist Church in Oxford on last Sunday was a very decided success, and was In ajl respects a very interesting service. The program was well arranged and there was not a dull moment throughout the whole of it. The pulpit was ornamented with potted plants and chrysanthemums. The offertory was sweetly sung by Misses Emma Steed and Gracie Clem ent, Mrs. Kate Hays Fleming and Mrs. A. A. Hicks. Miss Daisy Minor presided at the organ and rendered ood music. A paper written by Mrs. Kate 11. Fleming, entitled. "History of the Methodist Sunday School." was read by the pastor Rev. A. McCullen.

Ex, Com. l Mi History of the Methodist Sunday School- One hundred and fifty years ago our county embraced the area ol land now known as Vance, Franklin and Warren counties. A little stream, flowing through the foot-hills in this vicinity, was was known as Tabb's Creek, and on ts shore was built the firstold Court- House, accessible alike to Williams- buro and Harrisburg the only two villages of the county. In 14 the old county of (Jranville was divided into (Jranville andlSute. comprising what is now Franklin and Warren, (jranville, our present county, and Vance. Four years before this (10) the Earl of (Jranville, an English noble man, nan granted to w imam nnsa tract of land consisting of -00 acres lying on each side of the stream now called the Foundry Branch. Mr. Wulis then sold to Samuel Benton 2()0 acres ol this tract, ex tending from Harrisburg bridge across our present town towards ISerea. It was on this road that Samuel ISenton pitched his country villa and called it Oxford. He donated to the county one acre of land, on which was built the new Court House, the jail and the pillory. In 1M1. .)) acres of his land were bought and laid out in lots and streets. In ISl the academies, one male and one female, were established and iu the following year the first brick church was built by the Pres byterian congregation. Four years later in 1N21 the hrst Methodist house of worship was erected. This is the same building which was remodelled and is now occupied as a residence by Dr. J. G. Hunt. A few of those who remember tne early days ol Methodism in Oxford are among us vet and it may prove of interest to read some reminiscences which they have furnished One who is teaching in the Sunday school now. Mrs. A. S. Peace writes: "My first recollections or the old Methodist church situated on the lot where Dr. Hunt now lives, dates back to 1S59 when our family had just moved to Oxford from Elizabeth ( :ity There were seven of us children, who immediately joined the Metho dist Sunday school, superintended at even that early date by Mr. John u . Hays, ably assisted in his work by his bride, whom he had married that sprin Two other teachers i recouect Mrs. E. W. Owens and Mrs. Willis (J randy. The lot was then enclosed by a high fence ; the house was a cheap one, unpainted, with a row of small windows on each side, and one over behind the high box pulpit, whicn the preacher reached by going up t.wo or three stens. entering the box and closing the door after him. There was one narrow aisle ; the men sat on the left side and the wo men on the riirht. The pews were unpainted, high and uncomfortable. There was one stove near the pul pit, no organ, but the congregation all sang together such hymns as Father. I Stretch My Hands to Thee." "Come Ye Sinners, Poor and Xeedv." Show pity Eord, Oh Jord Forsrive." Amontr the early pastors I recall Kev. Junius P. Moore and Rev, V C. Gannon, also the local preachers Kev. Lewis K. Wiley and .John ork. A Mr. Fulford. who lived near town, was a, ereat exhorter and did much irood work during protracted meet ings at the mourners bench, for dur ing those old fashioned meetings penitents came to the front seats and knelt down crying lor mercy, itev W.

Old Mrs. Betsey Peace, who reached the century mark of life, was even then an old woman with palsy, who lived in a little log cabin of two moms which stood under the trees in the vard now owned by Mr. Ballou Many a time did she give the little Sundav School children a drink of water from her cool well, or fruit from her peach tree. old Miss Eucv Ballard a membe of.Inde-e Hobt. Gilliam's household was one of the early pious devote members of the old church. But all these neoDle and the old church hav n.icanH wav leavinsr a preciou momnrv In the minds of only a few W survivors." Away back in the sixties that little band of workers formed themselves Into a Sunday School with 4 teachers nri ahout 18 or 20 pupils. Horner's school then as now contributed eral members. In 1809 the little band growing, strengthening, working, praying and hoping built and dedicated to God the much larger, more modern build ing so recently occupied by us, Every part of that consecrated old building represents the labors long and oft times discouraging of the few who then made up our congregation. Precious memories like Heavenly benediction hover around that old alter. Many who have gone on be fore and written their names in "The Book of Eife" have left their names inscribed on the old Sunday School roll book of the 70's and Mi's and many are among us now. The list of teachers in 1S59-'C0 was: Airs. E. W. Owens, Mrs. J. W. Hays, Mrs, Willis G randy, Mrs. Mollie Frink, Mr. Jno. Y . Hays Superintendent. Ten years later 1870 we found the names as follows: Mrs. A. S. Peace, Mrs. M, E. Hargrove, Mrs. Mary jiviugstone. Mrs. Jesse Fergurson, rs. Em llobgood. Mrs. Jno. W. lays.

On our old roll books arefoundthe names ot many children from the Orphan Asylum who formerly attend ed our school. Many of these girls and boys have gone out into life mak ing useful citizens wTlnle some with their teachers have passed away Perhaps it would not be ovit ot place here to read some reminiscences of another Sunday School teacher who labored iu this church for fifty years. In speaking of her workamongthe orphan children she said: On Sunday morning 1 observed one of the new teachers approaching my class, followed by three little Indian children, who had been members of his class. - He walked in a determined manner. His face had a twisted expression; the mouth vainly seeking to tack itself away behind the ear and sug gesting a standing joke. Rut his mind was evidently made up to some thing unusual; heapproached meand with an air of one sultering a great wrong said, "Mrs. Hays you might as well taie tuese inaians in your class, they can t learn anything any way. 1 gathered the dusky little orphans under my wings, glad of the accessiou to my class. They soon learned of the cross of the merciful loving leather and that the good a nd the bad will be separated in the next life. But a short while I was called to the bedside of little Noder leigh and saw his calm face as he was passing away into the presence of the (Jreat Spirit, I feel he is safely housed, and that the time bestowed on the little Cherokee was not lost." The same teacher relates tne ionowing incident 1 recall now a young woman of natures fairest workmanship who had tasted the fascinations of the world and who accompanied a friend to our Sunday School from Sunday to Sunday. She, with a quickness born of intelligence and appreciation. ad mired our simple methods attended our church service and soonirientifieri herself with our Church. I recall her bright face as the tears of penitence coursed down her rosy cheeks and yet see her beautiful countenance when she said, "l shall give up the dance and never wish to see inside another ball room." Today she is in "thatcity notmade with hands;" her young son is doing vacation work as junior minister in a nei&hborintr State and old Ran dolph Macon is proud of her boy preacher. V ere any good seed sown in that young womaa's heart in this Sunday school back yonder in ls7G? I was on one occasion visiting Mr. R. Lee Brown, the worthy Su perintendent of the Methodist Sun day School, followed in a most inter esting address on the "Future plans for Work," which carried with it many excellent suggestions as to the work in the Sunday School. Hev. Plato Durham, one of the able and distinguished Professors of Trin ity College, then delivered the regu lar address of the occasion. The sub ject he chose was "The study of the Bible," which he handled in a most delightful and masterful manner. It was known by our people when the announcement was made that Prof. Durham was to deliver the address that a treat was In store for our peo ple, but the speaker far surpassed our highest expectations. He show ed first, the importance of studying the Bible and of studying it in a thoughtful and systematic way. He urged Sunday School teachers to pre pare themselves for the work, and to approach it reverently and realizing its great importance. He said that the Bible should not be held up as a text book on history or science, that such was not its province, but that itwas a partof the revelation of God to man. We should be glad to give the en tire address, but even a report of it is mpossible here.lt wasmevery wa van admirable address, being well timed, practical, broad-gauged and finely delivered. Oxford is always proud of the priv ilege of hearing Prof. Durham, as he is numbered among the brainy young men of our grand old State. He is well-known to many of our peo ple as he made his home here a few years ago, and we truly hope he may come to Oxford again and often The Presbyterian and ISaptistSun- lay Schools were invited ana with their Superintendents, Capt. Thos. I). Clement and Mr. F. W. H ancock, at tended in a body. The beautiful new church was packed to its utmost capacity, and everybody went away delighted with the service.

The church was handsome, Sunday School large and the teachers active. The Superintendent Knew his business and after an orderly seating of the classes, a young man with intelligent face, firm step and wide awake manner, stepped to the front of the black board and catichis- ed the whole school, the answers came miick and true He was so thoroughly at home on the lesson so closely in touch with the schoo and so completely apart of the whole that mv admiration amounted to praise said, I "who is the little, loud man ?" " Why, did you not recog nize him? that was a young man who attended the Methodist Sunday School during his stay at the Horner School."

Tenrhers dare not sav that yonr labors are vain. Thronsh all these years Mr. Hays was Superintendent until his health failed in the Spring of 1901 and helaid down his burden. This work had been nearest his heart for 43 years and no matter what else occupied his timp find en re his Sunday Schoo came first. Since Mr. ISrown assumed the duties of Superintendent In 1901 the school has given him its hearty support and cmr-oiirne-ement.

Mason is an old man and a well-trained and impressive campaign speaker. He depicted with much force the horrors of. Republican rule in North Carolina; lie exposed with his shrewd irony the farce of Independentism which Is trying to disguise itself under that name. His speech was listened to with deepest interest and we believe will be productive of much good. Solicitor A. L Brooks in Granville. We were glad to have Solicitor A. L. Brooks in Granville last week. He spoke at three points Creedmoor, Oak Hill and Oxford, and made ex cellent speeches at each place. Mr. Brooks spoke at Creedmoor on Wed- nesdny afternoon at 2 o'clock. A good crowd had assembled there to hear him and manifested much inter est in the Speech. He was Introduced by Mr. Win. H. Harrison, of Oxford, and spoke for about one hour, urging the people to stand together and not to allow any personal differences in the party to cause them to let the enemy come In. He showed up Independentism iu its true light, and warned the people 'gainst the same deception which was practiced upon them when the fnsionists gained control a few years ago. He spoke at Oak Hill Thursday, being there with the candidates on that day, to a large number of vo ters. The people in that section were greatly pleased with his speech and did much good. He was accompan ied by Dr. Graham Hunt. Mr. Brooks spoke at Oxford that night to a large and appreciative au dience. His delivery was impressive and he held the closest attention of every one, being able to Intersperse Avith clear and vigorous thought, good jokes. He touched on th trusts, the labor question, and ex plained, with much clearness, the tariff. He showed how the tariff en riched only the few and impoverish ed the consumers.
