G. Hall. METHODIST CHURCH DEDICATED Bishop Granberry Preached Good Old Methodist Sermon to an Immense Congregation History of the Church. One of the most notable religious gatherings held In Oxford for some time was the occasion or the dedica tion of the New Methodist Church of Oxford last Sunday. All the other churches "of the to.wn closed their doors for both services and their con gregations came together to witness the dedication services. Bishop Granberry, of AshlaDd, Va., preached the dedicatory sermon on Sunday morning taking his text from Ph1111plans3rd chapter and 3rd verse. He delivered a very strong and Im pressive sermon, full of feeling and spiritual power, and one which left a deep Impression on the Immense con gregation who heard him. It was truly an old-time Methodist sermon. The Bishop has now past his seventy sixth year, but la still vigorous in in tellect. He Is one of the leading di vines of Southern Methodist Church. He preached also at night, delivering an able sermon. The day was an Ideal one which added no little to the success of the happy occasion. The music under the direction of Mrs. Kate Hays Fleming was one of the special features of the day, and the choir was well assisted by the lead ing voices of the town. The ser vices opened with the anthem, "Ye Gates, lift up Your Heads" followed by the old appropriate hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy." After the sermon Rev. F. M. Sham- burger, the pastor, requested that the stewards and officers of church come forward. The church was hand ed over to the Bishop by Mr. R. L Brown. The prayer of dedlcatlve 4was offered by the Bishop In a most mpresslve manner. The service was closed by the singing of the hymn, "I Love thy Kingdom Lord," with the benediction by the Bishop. An eyent such as the dedication of a church is one of greatest inter est and moment to our people. It means much for the l!fe of a commu nity. For the people of a communi ty to come together In the organiza tion and dedication of an evangelical church means a great deal for the spiritual, moral and social uplift of a community. It mee: a aconsecra tlon of their wealth, their influence and their efforts for the cause of Christ wnicn is tne greatest cause ever established In a community is a bea con light of civilization to lift the people and the community up to a higher life, and Is a bulwark against the powers of sin and error. Such an occasion can but make a deep impress upon a community. May the new church here dedicated be always a mighty power for good In the community and ever maintain the high standard of spiritual life, which has ever characterized Metho dlstlsm. We wish to say In behalf of the be loved pastor of the church. Rev. F, M. Shamburger, that he la to be con gratulated upon the dedication of the new church as well as for the splendid condition of the church which has fol lowed his ministry. He Is just com pleting his second year as pastor, it is to be hoped the Conference will re turn htm here for two years more. He is a most excellent preacher, a good pastor, and is beloved by his people as well as by the entire people of the town. The church Is in a prosperous con dition, the membership numbering 325. The present Board of Stewards Is composed of the following gentle men: Messrs. E. T. White, W. B. Bal lou, John H, Bullock, J. D. Bullock, J. S. Brown, L. B. Turner, 25. W. Lyon, J, T. Cheatham. Trustees are: Messrs. J: T. Cheat ham, R. L. Brown, W. Z. Mitchell, J. E. Howell and H. O. Furman. The editor Is Indebted to Mrs. Kate Hays Fleming for the following In-: terestlng history of the church: SKETCH OF THE METHODIST CHUIJCH IN OXFORD. One hundred and fifty years ago our county embraced the area of land now known as Vance, Franklin and Warren counties. A little stream, flowing through the foot-hills In this vicinity, was known as Tabb's Creek, and on its shore was built the first old court house, accessible alike to boro and Harrisburg. the Wllllams only two villages of the county. In 1764 the old county of Granville was divided into Granville and Bute, comprising what is now Franklin and Warren, Granvlllle (our present county) and Vance. Four years before this (1760) the Earl of Granville, an English noble man, had granted to William Willis a tract of land consisting of 500 acres lying on each side of the stream now called the Foundry Branch. Mr. Willis then sold to Samuel Ben ton 20Q acres of this tract, extending from Harrlsburg bridge across our presrnt town towards Berea. It was on this road that Samuel Benton 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 1811 50 acres of his land were bought and laid out In lots and streets. In 1817 the academies, one male and one female, were establish ed and In the following year the first brick church was built by the Pres byterian congregation. On the day before Christmas in the year 1S21. Thomas B. Llttlejohn con veyed a lot of land on the southwest side of what is now called Main street f be following 'nah gentlemen as trustees forh prospective Meth odist church: ; W Hllarri Barne, John S. .r4en. Thomas .Booth .Nathaniel M. "taylor and Joseph B?LIttrejon. TfU bt' measured 44 yards front andf 95 yards deep ana was a part of theSfaml on which D. Cannady's res Ideifoe now stands. A' modest little bulMxng was erected on "this site and serii as aplace ol worship for the sms Methodist congregation for 15 year ' ' " Aqn?arly as 1814 the church records ehoV that the little village was In cladt: In the Itinerancy of the Tjas wllc!rjcuife which embraced about 30 appointments as follows: Bethany, Zloni Tabernacle, Cobb's, Prospect, Ebeneser Poplar Spring, Plzgah.Jones.Bold Spring, Connellys, Davis, Bethsalda, Bennett's, McGee's, Brajdon's,Harrlson's, Union, Bould lng'nt. Pine Grove, Lee's Chapel, Bar nets, Dlcken's, Sneed's, Bethel, Roberts, Harris, Moores School House anoSOxford. Upon the completion of the church building In 1822 the Granville circuit waff established and Its first Quarter ly Conference was held at Rock Spring on tne 27th of April. M. Lewis Skldmore was the Pre siding Elder, Charley L. Cooley the preacher In charge and Jesse 1 1 ; Cobb, Willis Harris, Lewis Reavls and Jas. H. Harris local preacher. In 1836 the first Methodist church building was sold and a new lot pur chased .on the corner ofSpr'ng and Qarrlsburg streets, now occupied by Dr. ; Graham Hunt where a new church building was erected. The trustees for this new building were John Mallory, Crews, Ira E. Arnold, John church James Brun - mitt and Benjamin Fulford. This building, though small, was an Improvement over the former one; It wav unpalnted and had a row of small windows on each side, and one behind the high box pulpit. When the, preacher entered this pulpit he ascended several steps and on going in the qaint stall-like place closed the door behind him. There was one narrow aisle, the men sat on one side and the women on the other. The pews were high and uncomfortable. It was in this building many good women of our. town gathered to sew for , the absent soldiers who were serving in the civil war. inlS66 this second Methodist church was Aold to the late Mr. James H. HornVr- and by him remodelled for a 4,'3wUiBg- house - which"' stands . un-. changed today. . The congregation then purchased a lot adjoining the first one, all of which was at that time, 1S66, in poe session of I.yman Latham. Here a more pretentious edifice was erected and on the 1st of September 1867 the dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. R. S. Moran from the text "The Temple of the Lord are These" Jeremiah VII, 4. He was assisted In the service by Rev. W. C.Gannon, preacher In charge and Rev. C. B. Rlddlck. It Is said that the erection of this church was due In a great measure to the untiring efforts of the presid ing elder of that time, the Rev. L. L. Hendren, and the pastor. Rev. N. C. Gannon, and his successor Rev. John Tlllett (father of our Rev. Dr. Wilbur Tlllett, Dean of Vanberblc Universi ty) Mr. Tlllett was succeeded In turn by Revs. A. D. Betts. W. C. Gannon, J. R. Griffith, S.V. Hoyle.J. T. Glbbs, L. H. Gibbons, J. T, Glbos. T. A. Boone. W. Ij, Cunningham. R. F. Bnmpass, J. L. Cordon, R. H. Whlt aker, J, B. Hurley, M. II. Tuttle, A. McCulIen and the present pastor in charge, Rev. F. M. Shamburger. Oxford Station was established by the annual conference held at Char lotte, beginning Nov. 2Gth, 1S85, with Rev. T. A. Boone, pastor In charge. Eyery part of that old building be came endeared to the little band of workers who had labored so earnest ly to erect It. Precious memories hovered around the old altar. Many who have gone on before and written tnelr names In "The Book of Life" have left their names on the old church book of the 70's, SO's and 90's. About ten years ago a new move ment was began looking towards the erection of a more modern and commodious building for the grow 1ns membership. The trustees who purchased the present lot from the late Mrs. Eva Taylor In 1900, were as follows: Dr. D. C. White, H. O. Fur man, A. S. Peace.C. D. H. Fort, John W.Hays, J. T. Cheatham, G. K. Hun dley, J. E. Howell, D. T. Cheatham, J. S. Hall, W. Lt. Mitchell. The board of Stewarts at that time consisted of the following: Jno. W. Hays, E. T. White. J. T. Cheatham, J. H. Bullock, J. S. Brown, J. S. Hall, J. G. Hunt, Z. W. Lyon. 'Taint no use to sit down and whine. When no fish eet tangled in your line Bait your hook with a bumble bee, And keep on taking Rocky Mountain Tea. J. G.

Professor Talfourd Smith, Principal Siloam High School, Siloam, Ga., writes : 'With much pleasure I recommend Peruna to all who may be suffering with any trouble of the respiratory organs. I have been using it in my family for the past five or six years and find it to be almost a household necessity. Peru na is truly a grand catarrh remedy and general tonic and wilt do all that is claimed tor it by the manufacturers. " PROF. TALFOURD SMITH. Catarrh is inflammation of the mucous membrane. It may be in the mucous membrane lining the eyes or the pelvic organs, throat, stomach, liver, bowels or kidneys. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna is an internal remedy; not a local application. Catarrh is a systemic disease, not a local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh in one place it will cure it in any other place, because Peruna is a systemic rem edy. It reaches the disease through the circulation in each organ. It eradicates the disease by eradicating it from the system, If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad vice gratis.
