1 COLLEGE PLANNED

About the first of May of that year, 1870, the church voted to be- como Congregational. As a Union church, It stood alone, ond our pas- tor hed organized several Congre- Rational churches since coming to Mimouri, which now wished to unite for the general benefit. In August the delegates of aix little churchen met in our store room and organized the Springfield Associa- tion' of Congregational churchea. During that meeting a motion was adopted: "That a committee he ap- pointed to take into consideration the founding of a Congregational college somewhere in the bounda of this association." And so was Drury college born. "Rehold what a great matter a little fire kindleth."

By the beginning of 1871 the crowds at our meetingn compelled us to bulid, and on the 10th of May we dedicated our new church building on the northeast corner of Jefferson and Incust. It was a frame building. 40 by 70 feet, cost- Ing $5000 and It was paid for when we dedicated It. Paid for too, with - out a dollar of help from outside our membership of 45 all told, men, women and children.

From that day the church hus proved its right to live. It has sent seven of its members to foreign misalon flelda, and scores to pulpite, schools and colleges all over the United States. Its members have served In Japan; the Philippines, and China. They served in the is- lands of the South seas; In Africa and Turkey. A band of our gallant boys fought under Pershing on the fields of France and several of them died there to help save the world.

The church, within Its first five yours was mother to Drury college, and to a dozen or more Congrega- tional churches in Southwest Mis- souri and there is hardly a church of our polity within 100 miles,

FORM UNION CHURCH -

------

By the beginning of 1869 It was decided to organize a church. And on the night of February 14 of that year a Union church was organized with 11 members; and a sign over the door said; "L'nion Chapel." Ten of the members were either Har- woods, or connected with the Har- woods. The only citizen of Spring- field, of the charter members, was Dr. E. T. Robberson, then and until his death one of the wealthiest and certainly the best loved man In the town. I minaed being a charter member, by being south of White river, In southern Stone county, classifying .railroad lands, that night. But I came in aoon, and my name was number 20 on the roll.

As I have mentioned, the railroad was being rapidly built towards Springfield. That caused the bulld- Ing of a new town on the highland about a mile porth of the publio

that lina not had a helping hand from the Old Firat. So when we celebrated our 50th anniversary. in 1919 we sang: "Thine was the hand that planted here That little struggling vine; The care that made it grow and thrive Through all the yeara, was Thine."
