RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS.
It is needless to enter into details at this point relating to the history of religious societies, as they are separately treated under the several townships or towns to which they properly belong. These organizations are here to-day with their " houses of worship" brought within reach of every member of the community. The Catholic church and the various Protestant denominations are represented throughout the county, so that generally an individual may find a church in which he may "wor- ship according to the dictates of his own conscience."
The oldest and newest communities in the county are almost uniformly Protestant; at least this is the case if weighed by majorities, while inter- mediate settlements were more strongly Catholic. In the old portion of the county, or the southern part., Protestantism was contemporaneous with settlement, and the early missionary, probably of the Methodist denomination, visited this section, and held religious services in the homes of the settlers before the era of houses dedicated especially to the worship of God. These missionaries came through the wilderness from the older and distant settlements, generally travelling by horse and saddle as they took their way toward the homes of the pioneers. When it was known one of them was to visit the settlement, messengers were dispatched to give notice to all the settlers within a radius of seve- ral miles, and from these distances they repaired to the designated house, many at times being compelled to remain over night. Sometimes in favorable weather it was necessary to hold outdoor services, as the cabin of the settler would not accommodate the motley congregations. Under these circumstances it will be readily perceived that some of the "pomp and splendor" of modern religion was wanting, for these were not encouraged by the times or circumstances.
Yet, after all, the simpler truths constitute the essence of religion, and the pioneer looked exclusively to these. It was not so much a question of Presbyterianism or Methodism; not so much a question of open or close communion; not so much a question of immersing or sprinkling, as it was a guide to a higher life. The missionary dealt less, perhaps, with incomprehensible doctrines, and enunciated fewer dogmas, but he was zealous even to self-abnegation, and sought to better the condition of men's lives, and strengthen them against adversity. While their doc- trines were fewer, perhaps some appeared harsher than may generally be

HISTORY OF SHELBY COUNTY, OHIO.
heard declared to-day, but this does not lessen the credit given the early teachers and hearers. The Church, like all things else, has been a growth, and its very teaching is a development. Doctrines taught a half century since have been thrown aside as repugnant to the higher humanity of the people, and derogatory of the justice of God. Perhaps the church, in moving away from some incomprehensible theories and unjustifiable dogmas, has even too far forgotten the simpler truths which underlie religion. It may be that in wandering away for a season in idle speculation touching non-essentials, it came back to toy for a season with gew-gaws and ornaments only for recreation.
Perhaps this is why, to some extent, the dissensions of the choir, and, for that matter, of the church, hold such a prominent place. We hear of the splendid choir, the costly organ, the stained glass, the brass cande- labra, and sometimes of the fashionable preacher, but, we had almost said, the principle of religion is ignored. Sometimes it looks as if it were merely a habit into which people have fallen, and the object of that habit, if any, was to determine which church can build the grandest house, support the most fashionable preacher, and deserve the name of the richest congregation. Perhaps this is all to mark the interval which is to precede that day in which religion is to be a thing of life and con- duct, and not a thing of belief and creed. Perhaps religion, the best emotion of the human heart, will yet assert itself in simple charity and good-will, leaving forms and ceremonies to take care of themselves. Perhaps out of all this will come man's superiority to blind faith, and his contempt for the creed which circumscribes his field of usefulness. It may be that religion will yet be embraced more, because it is intelli- gible than because it is a mystery; more for its own sake than out of reverence for a cruel past. Clearness is seeking in theology, as else- where, and it must yet adjust itself to the demands of the age, and meet the requirements of humane thought. The religion demanded is one of utility, one which will teach men a justice tempered with mercy, one which will deal with life rather than death, and with conduct rather than belief.
It is a question of conduct and not of election, a question of deeds, not of predestination, a question of better lives, not of baptism, a ques- tion of love, not of fear, as it is viewed by the world to-day. This refers. to all denominations, Protestant as well as Catholic, for the semper ides of the latter is not alone sufficient to satisfy the craving of a united mind and heart.
Looking then at the distribution of faiths in this county, it will be found that while Protestantism largely prevails and predominates, Catholicism occupies a stronghold in the northwest quarter of the county, and has also strong congregations at Sidney and elsewhere in those portions not wholly Catholic. Of the Protestant portion it may be said that about all the leading denominations are strongly represented, and everywhere buildings of comfort, if not of elegance, may be seen tes- tifying of the wealth of the church. The finest Protestant churches are found in Sidney, while the finest Catholic edifice is found at Berlin, this being probably the costliest church in the county.
STATISTICS OF WEALTH AND SETTLEMENT.
It is interesting to recall the small beginnings of the infant commu- nity which has assumed such great proportions. Take, for instance, the first financial exhibit in which the amount represented by both credits and debits was only a little more than $1100, and then note the deficit of $708. It looks like a small and hopeless beginning. This state of finances exhibited for the period extending from April 1, 1819, to the first Monday in June, 1820. Note next the Treasurer's settlement for 1822, and find the sum of $769 on either side of the account. Still this was a better showing than that of the preceding year; for, if it left no surplus, neither did it leave a deficiency. In 1823 a balance of $5.91 accrued to the county. The showing was yet small but hopeful. In 1825, with credits amounting to more than $1300, the exhibit shows a balance of $128 in favor of the county. From these statements hereto . annexed a clear idea will be obtained of the financial condition of the county from its organization to the year 1825.

EXPENSES.
It is common enough to-day to hear complaints on account of the ex- penses of the county. Salaries are sometimes said to be too high, and then it is hinted these salaried officers are reckless of their trusts, and prodigal of the people's money. Consequently we hear of "high taxes," until each semi-annual payment of taxes marks a period wherein pro- tests and complaints will abound "thick as autumnal leaves in Val- ambrosa." It is true county officers, like others, may be reckless or injudicious, and incur unreasonable expense, and it is also true this ex- pense must be met by taxation. Still, it is also true that chronic grum- blers and constitutional protesters abound, who can no more help this course than the leper can help his disease. Disease is the right word, and we like it in this sense and connection. Still as it is something of a duty, or, at least, a courtesy to pander to the tastes and desires of the sick, we herewith present a statement of the expenses of the county for 1822, and hope the grumbler at high taxes and that other reader who is pining for " the good old times" will be able to extract a wealth of comfort from its perusal.
Exhibit of the orders drawn for county expenses from the 4th day of June, 1821, to the 4th day of June, 1822, to which is added a summary statement of the finances of the county.

As much remains to be said of the actual settlers and localities of set- tlements, it appears well to introduce this subject at this point, by a pre- sentation of the settlers' names, and the description of the lands entered. Among these names will be found those which appear here and there throughout these pages, until they become familiar to every reader, and it is well to thus identify them. It shows too they were never adven- turers, but came with bona fide intentions of permanent citizenship, made their mark upon the community in its every department, and trans- mitted their names to the citizenship of to-day. In the accompanying statement, it may be proper to observe the significance of the abbrevia- tions. The rule headings "Sec.," "T.," "R.," "Fr.," "Sit.," and "A.," signify Section, Town, Range, Fraction, Situation, and Acres. Abbreviations within the rules indicate cardinal or semi-cardinal points, except M. R., sometimes written elsewhere M. R. S., which refers to the Miami River Survey.
