This ranch-style house is ln-
tended to be either a country
. home or a suburban dwelling,
whichever its owners want Gen
erously provided with features for
family living, it is Plan No. 709
of Architect Walter T. Anicka,
; 011 Forest St., Ann Arbor. Mich.
Only 65 feet wide, the house is
small enough to fit well on a 70
' foot lot. On the other hand, its
low, rangy lines make it suitable
for spreading country acreage.
Exterior materials conform to
the overall architectural . style.
The architect recommends wide
clapboard or cinder block siding
with fire-resistant asphalt roof
shingles in any of the numerous
solid or blended colors available.
Trim should be painted to har
monize with the roof.
The three bedrooms, grouped
around a short, convenient hall-
bTha living room-dinine room com

sons coming in from the outdoors.
Laundry tubs also are included
in the service room. If the house
is built without a basement, a
heating plant could be installed
in the space gained by eliminat
ing the stairway.

The Bi-Centennial. '
Appropriate 'exercises were held
during the year 1936 in commemo
ration of the two-hundreth anni
versary of the settlement. A fu'I
historical outline,' including bio
graphical sketches of the early. pas
tors, was read at the gathering. A
State Highway-historical marker
was erected and unveiled on the
church ground and bears the leg
end: "GROVE CHURCH. Presbytei
ian. First church founded by the
Scotch-Irish who settled here about
1738."
Since the time of Dr. Sprunt,
the following good and noble ser
vants of the Lord have filled the
pulpit of this old church: G. W.

By: A. T. OUTLAW
The Colonial Records of North
. Carolina, by Saunders, and other
- reliable records, bear witness to the
fact that the Grove Church in Du
. plin is the oldest Presbyterian or-
eanization in the State.
The founders were Scotch-Irish
from the province of Ulster, in
nnrthprn Trolanrl nri nm tn Am.
erica under the patronage of 'Hen
ry McCulloch, a wealthy merchent
of London, who had been granted
-by the Crown a vast amount of Iad
in Carolina, about the year J 738.
: The worshipers, first referred to
as "the Grove congregation", built
. their meeting house in the heart of
the settlement but had no title for
" it until years later when McCulloch.
then a resident of Turnham Green,
County of Middlesex, England,
gave a deed for 'one acre on the
south side of the Grove swamp
near the bridge whereon the meet
ing house now stands."
For a period of about twenty
years there was no regular minister
and the religious needs were parti
ally met by missionaries from Penn-.
?ylvani and New Jersey where
there was a rapidly growing Scotch
Irish population. In those days the
religious advantages were not what
they are now. The mode of travel
was on horseback, congregations
.widely scattered, and many of the
missionaries and ministers spent a
large part of their time in the sad
dle. The territory was almost tin
limited and many difficultues had
to be met and overcome. Like true
and faithful servants of the Master,
these men did their work, and their
names richly deserve to be held
in everlasting reverence and re
membrance. Early Pastors.
During the year 1756 the Rev.
Hugh' McAden, whose name is fa'
miliar to all students of church
history, came tothe aectidn while
on a missionary tour of the -State.
He found the people deeply inter
ested and they requested his ser
vices as pastor. Soon after his re
turn to Pennsylvania he attended
a meeting of Hanover Presbytery in
old Rockfish church, Nelson Coun
ty. Virginia, and was regularly ad
mitted to,, membership. At that
time the said presbytery included
Virginia snd the 'Carolina. He then
returned to the Grove, purchased
land and built a home near the
meeting house, and. became the
first Presbyterian missionary to lo
cate in North , Carolina. After
twelve years in Duplin he located
in Caswell County -where he died
in 1781. A State highway-historical
marker in Duplin and a handsome
monument at his grave in Caswell,
honor and perpetuate his memory.
; Fallowing McAden, other early
notables ' who served as pastor of
this historic old church , were Rev
erends John Robinson, Samuel
Stanford, Alexander Mclver, Mal
colm Connoly, and James M. Sprunt
all widely known as ' powerful
preachers ' who played' important
parts in the religious life of their
church and State. "
The Academy.
It Is well known that the pastors,
and others, in Scotch-Irish sett'e-ments-were
very diligent in their
efforts to open and operate, schools
and the Grove Academy, establish
ed in 1785, was among the early
educational institutions in the

, " A Child's Prayer
Dear God, as 1 kneel , by my bed
. Keep me safe from the horrors of
I war.
I Let not a sword touch my head
But keep me as I was before.
Please , God, in Heaven, I pra ',
Bless me and all nfy sins forgive,
And blass those that are . dying
today
As Christ did, that we might live.
Oh God, let us not forget
To help everyone every day.
For there are those.even yet.
Who have not been shown the way.
And when the last cannons boom,
And everyone ts so glad
Let us in our heart have room
For those who are crippled and sad.
But let us not forget who gave
Us strength to win the fight,
For oh, dear God, it is you
Who makes us waqt to live right.
And, God, when this war is ended.
Keep us, I pray, from sin.
And mpy tne world in harmony
blended,
I pray in Jesus' Name, Dear God,
Amen.

Two popular bulletins on "Rai
sing Dairy Calves" and "Flue Cured
Tobacco Barn Construction" have
just been revised by the State Col
lege Extension Service, and copies
may be obtained on request.
In giving detailed instructions
'for raising dairy calves, the bulletin
emphasizes cleanliness, good care
of. both calf and dam at time of
birth, close attention to feeding,
prevention of parasites, and liberal
'use of good pasture and roughage
to reduce costs.
Several important changes have
been made in the tobacco barn
bulletin, one of which is construc
tion of ridge ventilators which will
reduce the effect of outside winds
on inside conditions of the barn.
