Mefford was to be with me. Union church was situated in the lower- part of Brown County, sixteen miles from my home. I had left it in a prosperous state, with about three hundred mem- bers. The first chapel, of stone, had given place to a good brick house; but strife arose. Three parties shared mutual jealousies. Preachers had been imprudent. Tho church was divided. Only tens instead of hundreds met to hear any one of the ministers who generally preached there. The great house seemed useless an...d deserted. Brother Mefford and I ar- rived; and tho people, having learned who were to preach, as- sembled in largo numbers and with- good order. Tho Lord blessed our feeble efforts, and we had a pleasant time, and good attended our labors. I had determed not to take tho charge, but had not positively said that "I would not, " and I was urgod MATTHEW GARDNER. 141 to decide before leaving. The people were more urgent, if possible, than the committee had been. I consulted lb-other JMefford, who promised to assist me, as he lived much nearer, and in the inclement weather of winter to attend for me; and then, in view of the feeble state of the church, I yielded to a sense of duty and consented, trusting in God for help.
