THE PRESBYTERIi
A FEW PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS.
By the Rev. Wm. T. Price, D. D.
Dear Dr. Smith: May all be with
you and yours as I would have it, for
all you have been and are to me.
During my course at Washington
College (1850-54 \ I boarded at Mrs.
Mary Wallace's, near what Is now the
Fair Grounds, in Lexington. Her maiden
name was Blair and her parental
home was in the hounds of the Augusta
church. She was married three times.
By her first marriage to Major William
Poage of Pocahontas county, she became
the step-mother of my mother;
by her second marriage to Mr. Wallace
she became -the step-mother of "Big
Foot" Wallace; by her third marriage
tr? Tvilrd nf Pan T o I yrl ih. V???_
came the step-mother of Mrs. Brown,
the second wife of Daniel Brown, one
of Mary Moore's seven sons.
On several Sabbath afternoons while
on my way home from oollege chapel
services, I passed a group of forty or
fifty half grown boys and colored young
men out for a good time, In the road
near the Fair Grounds. At the time I
refer to, they seemed more hilarious
than usual. I stopped and looked on
for a while, and then pulled off my hat
and said, "L,et us all pray." In a
ikviucui an acic >|uiei a Liu i jrraveu US
loud and earnestly as I could, that the
Sabbath day might be remembered and
that all of us might be saved and meet
in heaven. I thanked the audience for
their good and quiet attention and then
passed on. The next afternoon upon
coming to the place, not a colored youth
was anywhere in evidence. I supposed
they had found some place less liable
to molestation. Not long afterwards,
Dr. White and his session invited me
to hold services for the colored people
in the lecture room. I conducted several
services and recognized several
faceB among the young people. At
some of the meetings the lecture room
was quite full. When the faculty made
attendance at the chapel obligatory, I
resigned my colored charge. Sometime
afterwards. Gen. Jackson took up his
famous Sunday school work in the same
lecture room.
In 1858 I attended Lexington Presbytery
at Waynesboro and was ordained
sine titulo for evangelistic work In
Highland and Bath oounties. I was the
solitary guest of Mr. Bruce. Mrs. Bruce
told me that she was a member of the
Baptist church, while Mr. Bruce was
not a member of any church. She was
helped in her home duties by a very
nice and tidy colored woman, and her
son some eight or nine years of age.
The boy went with me to show the way
and sat near me throughout the services,
and guided me back.
Presbytery arranged the next day
that the ordination sermon should be
preadhed at the Waynesboro school
house. The church pulpit would be
occupied by Rev. R. L. McCune, a young
minister from Pennsylvania, looking
for a situation. My faithful young
f A eVi awta/1
wiv* wu ia xvuu ouuncu iu,c uuc way
through the darkness. The sermon was
preached to* a fnll quorum of the Presbytery
and three young ladles at the
school house, while the church was full
to repletion to hear one of Dr. Plumer's
proteges. My colored friend stayed by
me through the service and guided me
homo.
Upon parting with these pleasant
friends, I presented Mr. and Mrs. Bruce
and family a Bible, gave Aunt Fannie
a bandanna handkerchief, and the boy
a dog knife. In 1872 Presbytery met
again at "Waynesboro. Mr. Bruce's
home was crowded with guests, for In
the meantime the war had taken place,
the sorrows of reconstruction had been
endured, and signs of the acrimonious
controversies between the debt payers
and hhe debt scalers were much In evidence.
ln or the south
Mrs. Bruce was now a member of the
Presbyterian church. Mr. Bruce was a
ruling elder and evidently one of the
more prominent in the good words and
works pertinent to church management,
but Aunt Fannie and her boy were nowhere
in evidence. And, strange to
say, I neglected to make any speolal
Inquiries about them. I would reproach
myself for this.
Not long Blnce, I read in the papers
that Sheppard, the Congo missionary,
had made the remark that it was largely
owing to Mrs. Bruce'a expressed
wishes, that hlB desires to be a mlssonary
were awakened, and shaped Ills
course. Influenced by this Information,
I requested a friend near Staunton lo
make inquiry, furnishing him the par
tlculara about; the colored boy I met
in 1858. The statement was sent to
Sheppard and he replied to my friend
to the effect that he remembered nothing
whatever of the circumstances referred
to. But as his father was the
sexton of the church, and he was the
only colored boy that ever went to the
church at the time referred to, he must
be the boy I was looking for, and that
he was bo pleased to hear of his being
so useful to me.
One more Item and I will close. I
see mention made that Rev. Dr. Park,
of Knoxville, Tenn., Is the oldest living
Kriuiuaie ui rriuue^un ociuiuar; m mu
time of its centennial, In 1912.
Mow, so far as 1 have information,
if you permit me to compare small
matters to larger matters, T am the
oldest living graduate of Union Theological
Seminary, whose centennial
likewise occurs in 1912. If I be sporp'l
to see it, July 19, 1912, will be my S3d
birthday.
It was on Dr. Park's motion that my
resolutions looking to fraternal relations
were laid on the table, by the
Assembly of 1873, at Little Rock. There
were at least 17 noes, and had there
been a count made, the number would
have been twenty or more, as was be
lievea Dy tnose wno spose 01 zne matter
to me.
Marllnton, W. Va., June3, 1912.
THE GENERAL ArSETJBLY AND THE
HOME AND SCHOOL.
As Is doubtless known to all the
readers of the Presbyterian of the
South, the General Assembly of 1911
was requested by the Executive Committee
to outline a definite policy for the
conduct of this Institution. The whole
matter was referred by the Tjoulsvllle
Assembly, to an Ad Interim Committee
consisting of five of the ablest and most
sympathetic ministers and elders In our
church. During the year they made a
most systematic and careful study of
tht whole situation. Their report fo the
General Assembly was adopted with
scarcely any change. Tt may be found
In the Presbyterian of the South of
June 12, 1912.
At the meeting of the Executive Committee
held on June 18th the whole matter
was carefully gone over and the following
paper was unanimously adopted:
"It is the Judgment of the Committee
that In the matter of affording aid to
wiuuwb robiuem ax r reccncihraurk n
liberal polloy shall be pursued, by
Milch aid shall be continued for the
current ecclesiastical year ending Mar.
31. 1913, at Hie present rate enjoyed by
them when actually needed; and that
they be urged to adjust themselves as
speedily as possible to the plan adopted
by the Assembly as set forth in the following
resolution;
"That the policy of the church shall
henceforth be to give equal aid to widows
and families of deceased ministers
when In need of financial assistance Irrespective
of place of residence or
agency through which help of the
[July 3, 1912
church is extended. The aid in every
case being so far as the church can give I
It in proportion to actual need.
"For the scholastic year 1912-13 the
Committee agrees to pay for such children
now in the Home and School who
are in the Judgment of the Executive
Committee qualified and willing to avail
themselves of the privileges of the Collegiate,
Preparatory and Primary Departments
of Fredericksburg College at I
the rate which prevailed for the session
1908-'09. fl

understood as committing the General
Assembly to a policy but Is adopted by

Can you always eat all
that you "can"?
After the work of "canning" do you find
much of your fruit is spoiled? Then,
why persist in using old-style, narrownecked,
tin-topped, screw-capped jars?
That was the old wayof "canning." The
new way, the easier, safer, better way is
called' 'jarring," preserving in the all-glass
