The details of the program had been so carefully planned tnat it moved off like clock work.The exercises commenced about 10:00 o’clock, when Chairman Brown called the meeting to order and made statement of its purposes. Jacob Harlan, of Lebanon, a former member of the church at Pleasant View, read the eighth chapter of Romans as a lesson, and Mrs. Sarah Hall, of Thorn-town, also a former member of the Pleasant View church, led in prayer, the audience joining in repeating the Lord’s Prayer. The program was carried out as published.older members of the church andcommunity.

NELSON, Advance. 15-13wSlip a few Prince Albertsmokes into vour system!Compiled and Read By the Rev.A. W. Cash.We have met today not only to pay tribute to the centennial of our statehood, but to unveil a tablet erected by the citizens of Jefferson township marking the site of the oldest Christian church in the township, as well as the county of Boone.The Pleasant View church is an historical one. She has already celebrated her seventy-fifth anniversary, and lacks but nineteen summers of being as old as the state of Indiana. At least eighteen hundred people can date their spiritual birth at her altars, four of this number being preachers of the Word of Life. Some of the most prominent and best citizens of the county are still her votaries and worship regularly at her shrine. I am sorry, however, that this splendid church and her history has not been kept intact as it should have been.How Church Started.What history we have had access to tells us that in the early thirties a man by the name of Adam Kern came here from the state of Kentucky, and that a band of friendly Indians piloted him to the ground whereon we are now gathered. He entered from the government 600 acres of land in what was then a wilderness, let the contract for a double log house and went back to Kentucky to remove his family here. Prior to the year 1836 a preacher by the name of Myers, living j in Putnam county, held meetings here in the new settlement, by mutual agreement and previous arrangements. He was to return to the home of Adam Kern on November 6, 1836, and organize a Christian church. Circumstances were such that he could not come, and be sent in his stead a man by the name of Benjamin Beaman, who organized the church with eight members, as follows: Adam Kern and wife, John Bowen, James Hall and wife, Miles Hall and wife and Arice Pauley. Home Converted Into Church. After the church organization was effected, the double log house erected by Adam Kern was made into a church house. This house stood south of the present building, where the cemetery is now located. It stood with one end toward th6 Crawfordsville road. Two doors were in the east side. The north door was for the men, and the south door was used exclusively by the women. The preacher stood on the west side near the center.A few years later the second house was built. It was also a log house, but it stood east and west, facing the Crawfordsville road. Along the entire north side there was an open shed, which was used for the storage of wood and to house the saddles and other belongings of those who attended services.How They Paid Preacher.An interesting incident connected with the organization and early history of the church is that the people of the congregation raised the flax, spun the linen and made Rev. Benjamin Beaman a pair of pants for his. first year’s salary. Rev. Beaman continued as pastor of the church for twenty-one years. Absalom Carney served the next longest, his pastorate being ten years. Nearly all the pioneer preachers of the Christian church of Indiana have served Pleasant View as pastor or have preached from her pulpit. Among them wereMcKinney, Shoemaker, Hays, Gregory, Quillen, Quick, Thomas, Allen, War-biting, Wilkins and Bannon. Allv of these have gone from labor to reward except Father Bannon, who is now In his ninety-eighth year.Authorized U. C. C.*It is also interesting to know that at one of the five annual sessions of the Western Indiana Christian Conference held in this church, plans were made for organizing Union Christian College, now located at Merom, Indiana.Little could be learned about the early church officers, but from the best information Adam Kern was no doubt the first clerk of the church.You’ve heard many an earful about the Prince Albert patented process that cuts out bite and parch and lets yousmoke your fill without a comeback!

The marker was furnished by the Harlan Monument Company, of this city.Mrs. Mary Gray, of Antioch, in attendance Sunday, is the daughter of Miles Hall, one of the first members of the church. iShe recalls when services were held in the home of Adam Kern, in the old double log house on the present site, which was afterward converted into a church. Her father helped to build the first church. Mrs. Gray, as a girl, joined the church at Pleasant View, and was baptised in the creek by Rev. Shoemaker. After the death of her husband she movedto the vicinity of Antioch about 1863, where she has since resided. Her first marriage was to Wash Pauley, and Rev. Benjamin Beaman, who organized the church, officiated at thisevent. Her sister, Eliza Ann Hall, was the first person buried in the cemeteitf adjoining the church, and her brother, Barton Hall, was the first buried in the addition to the cemetery,The Beet Laxative.To keep the bowels regular the best laxative is outdoor exercise.

Obtainable everywhere.—adv. augPerfectwas ordained to the ministry in March, 1850, by Rev. Beaman and j Shoemaker.Enforced Discipline.The church was in its early history very strict as to the conduct of its membership, and quite a number were dismissed. One man was turned out because he built a chimney to his house on Sunday. Another was dismissed for the sin of frolicking, while others were let out on charges of profanity, lying, stealing, etc.The last house was built in 1869, at a cost of $1,500. It was dedicated in October, 1869, by Rev. Thomas Holmes, who was at that time president of Union Christian College. The pastor was Rev. Absalom Carney. Since 1870 the following have been pastors of the church: Lewis Hutts, Jesse Pavey, William Beck, Silas Martellar, John Carney, A. L. Carney, G. Woody, P. J, Baker, D. Powell, R. H. Gott, A. M. Thomas, Frank Byrkett, A. W. Cash, C. A. Brown, D. O. Coy, R. W. Page, Fred Chelan and Robinson Ashby, the present pastor. The present house was remodeled in 1908, at which time the memorial windows were put in. The present membership is 155.

Chairman Brown had a fine lot of helpers in carying out the plans for the dayOn the platform Sunday afternoon were six men who attended Sunday school at Pleasant View sixty-five years ago—Dawson Kern, of Clinton county; Elza C. and Carson Bowen, Frank Heistanti, I. V. Riggin and John L. Roark. Imediately in front of the platform was William S. Hazelrigg, another member of the same class.The thirteen fine maple trees surrounding the church were set out by the late Alfred Beck and Elmer Huckstep. A tree-setting day had been designated, and these two were the only ones who responded. A. W. Beck provided the trees. When they were set out the elder Beck remarked that if the Lord wanted them to live he would take care of them. Not one of the trees died.Pleasant View Notes.The marker unveiled Sunday is a granite black, on a base, mounted on a cement foundation, and is located in front of the church, in plain view of the Crawfordsville road. On one side the inscription is: “Site of first church, organized Nov. 6, 1836. OnThis house is the result of suggestions made by farmers themselves —not by city architects. Every practical feature suggested by tho carmer and the farm wife has been included. The stairs are closed off and sliding doors can be put in, thus making the house easy to heat. There is a washroom where the farm hands can clean up and come into the dining room or kitchen.

Sometimes people get an erroneous idea of how the bouse will look from studying the plans. To guard against this we take you to see erected homes, or homes under construction, similar in construction to what you want. By combining the real structure with the plans, you cannot go amiss.WE HAVE OUR OWN ARCHITECTIf you do not find the house plan you want in our free house plan catalogue, our architect will be glad to suggest and plan a suitable building that would meet your demands. His services are free.If you are thinking of building, let us figure your bill.
