EXTRACTS FROM LETTER OF REV. R. H. HOLLYDAY, OF FINDLAY, OHIO, DATED SEPTEMBER 23rd, 1898, CONCERNING THE THIRTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF DR. KALB'S PASTORATE.
I have long remembered the First Presbyterian church of Bellefontaine as the field where I commenced my ministerial life,

and have always regarded mny coming as in the guiding providence of God. While yet only a student, I met the Rev. Joseph Steven- son at a meeting of the Ohio Anti-slavery Society at Massillon, O., during the early summer of 1840. He informed me that he desir- ed to secure the labors of a young inan to aid him in his work in Bellefontaine, and also to occupy the church at Stoney Creek, it was then called, now Spring Hill, in connection with a regular appointment in West Liberty where there was no organized church. I was regularly licensed by the Presbytery of Chillicothe in Sep- tember of that year. I spent a few weeks in missionary work in the bounds of the Presbytery. After the close of the meeting of Synod of Cincinnati, at Dayton in October, I came, at Mr. Steven- son's invitation, with him to Bellefontaine and to his home. This was my introduction to the First Presbyterian church of Bellefon- taine, and the following six months I preached each alternate Sab- bath for the First church, and the other Sabbath I spent at West Liberty and Spring Hill, dividing the day between the two places. During the winter of 1840-41 the old difficulties, which in previous years led to the organization of a Second Presbyterian church, were revived by a suit being entered by the authorities of the Sec- ond church with a view to secure a claimed interest in the church property held and used by the First church. This resulted in an action of the First church in the interest of peace, in which the First church by deed authorized by a vote of the church, convey- ed the entire property to the Second church, and the first church was thus left without a house of worship, and the Second church, which has long since ceased to have an existence, became the owner of two.
The First church for a time held their services in the old Court House, and there I preached for the remaining part of the six nonths. After this the whole of my time was given to the Stoney Creek church and the work in West Liberty where a church was organized in the fall of 1841. I have always looked back to my coming to Bellefontaine and my initial work there as having much to do in giving shape to my whole ministerial life. It was there in the person of a child of the First Presbyterian church of Belle- fontaine, I found the loved partner of my life, and we were mar- ried by the Rev. Joseph Stevenson, under whose ministry she grew up and becanie a child of grace.
The incidents that are scattered along the history of the First Presbyterian church of Bellefontaine during the almost three

quarters of a century are numerous and many of them very inter- esting; and all serve to show that the divine care and leadership have been with you. And as from time to time many, through the instrumentality of the means of grace, have been gathered into your church fold, so from your number God has been calling many to a place in the church above, and it is truly an interest- ing thought that the loving Saviour, Jesus, among you has been preparing a people to be gathered to Himself in glory.
Your anniversary review will serve to call to mind many, long with you, now gone, but lingering with you still in cherished memories; and there is a loving remembrance and a sacred union among the true children of God that death cannot dissolve. Still-
"One family we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream- The narrow stream of death."
May the divine spirit, in its quickening, sanctifying and sav- ing influences, abide with you as pastor and people in the coming years.
Yours in Christ,
R. H. HOLLYDAY.
AUNT PED AND UNCLE JOE.
BY J. Q. A. CAMPBELL.
Fifty years ago, and more, a lass from the East came with her father's family to Logan county, and made her home on a farm near Bellefontaine. Like a loyal Presbyterian, on the Sabbath day she sought the house of God, in the village. Her eye was bright and her voice was clear, and her heart was as free as the birds that sang about her home. In Pennsylvania she was accustomed to seeing a sedate, middle-aged clerk lead the singing. But on this morning a fat, chubby-faced boy stood up and lead the singers in Israel and as her sweet voice made more than one face beside the chubby-faced boy's turn her way, she said to her- self, "I will make that boy's acquaintance." And in the inter- mission between the sermons, it didn't take long for her to find out that the chubby-faced boy was the son of the minister. And as the face of man answers to the face of man, so the face of the young man turns to his love, and the two singers were fated and mated, and led the singing in the church for fifty long but happy years. And we rejoice that they are with us today.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HISTORY.
A red breast sat on an apple bough And sang, at the break of day; Another bird, just over the hill, Answered his roundelay.
He sang of the joy of the early dawn, She sang of the joy of morn, He sang of the glorious rising sun, She sang of the day new born.
He changed his pipe and softened its tone, And sang of a new found joy, She twittered and fluttered and poised her head, And sang like a maiden coy.
Noiseless he flew to a nearer tree, While a pinion dropped from his wing, To feather an arrow for Cupid's bow, And again he began to sing.
'Twas soft and low, and sweet in tone, And the melody wooed and won, And the knot was tied with a beam of light That fell from the rising sun.
The red-breast rose and fell with pride And the throat gushed forth a song Of love, and triumph, and happiness, That filled the whole day long.
And a softer note and a sweeter tone Came out from a throat near by. And a choir was formed that sang a song, That swelled to the arching sky.
A song of love and a song of faith, A song of deyotion true, A song of melody, trust and joy, A song that made one of two.
A maiden lithe, with a step as light As the morning that trips away, And an eye as bright as the morning light, Came tripping this way one day.
The village, nestled in forests green That stretched from the wearying eye, Was still as the air on an autumn day. When the gossamer fails to fly.
The honest yeoman with faithful swain, Had come to meet his God; His faithful messenger pointed the way The fathers of old had trod.

THIRTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
The hymn was read, and a smooth-faced lad Arose and led the song, And Balerma swelled on the morning air, And a new voice followed along.
The chubby lad heard the sweet new note, And a new hope entered his breast; And he sung with a zeal he had never known, And the world knows all the rest.
The man of God his blessing gave, The people all said amen. A nest was built on the neighboring hill, Came fledglings again and again.
For fifty years they sang the song Of peace on earth, good will Toward men who follow the Lord's command, And their song is with us still.

In spite of all the care bestowed to obtain complete- ness of detail, much that could have been supplied has not been, but such as has been furnished is herein given.
There are doubtless errors natural to obtaining information from people's memories, and because no record is free from error, but great care has been used that the information should be complete and accurate. The names are arranged alphabetically.
The following items concerning each member are given when known :- The date of uniting with the church follows the name and whether by "ex" (examination or professsion, ) or "cert" (certificate or letter), church from which the letter was brought, if a present member, name and place of residence of the member's father, present residence of the member or date of death and age, also if a married woman, the name of her husband.
The genealogies of several of the older families are given which need explanation. An abstract number is given each head of a family, both when he is mentioned as a child and as the fam- ily head.
