Show THE CHURCH REVIEW. <br><br> Presbyterian, Kaysville <br> Our Mission was opened in October 1881. Miss Ella MacDonald of Wooster, Ohio, was the first missionary on this field. She had a hard struggle to get a foothold here. There was not a place in town which she could rent for school purposes. At midnight there came a tap on the window of her room at the hotel and she was informed by a son of the landlord that if the bargain could be closed very soon he would sell the Presbyterians a house and lot. He was informed that we would take the property. Rev. D. J. McMillan, D. D., now one of the secretaries of the home mission board, was then our superintendent of missions. He was immediately sent for and before the citizens of Kaysville dreamed what was going on, a fine piece of property had passed into Presbyterian hands. The lot is centrally located and contains over one and a half acres of beautiful land. The house then standing was a good adobe building of two rooms. Miss McDonald commenced calling on the people. As certain leaders of the people here expressed it, she crowded herself in. On the 16th of January 1882, she began a day school in one room of our mission building. The other room was used as a living room by the mission teacher. The first day of school opened with two pupils, soon others came until at the close of five years Miss McDonald had a day school of some 45 pupils. Her Sunday school had enrolled about the same number of scholars. She joined her sister in mission work in Ogden in the fall of 1886. Miss McDonald was peculiarly well adapted to the opening of mission work in such a field as this. All of her successors would join in a tribute of sincere respect to Miss McDonald for what she was enabled to accomplish here. <br> Regular services were held last Sabbath. We were happily surprised at the goodly attendance upon the evening service. The reason of this was owing to the fact that a returned Mormon missionary gave an account of his two years missionary tour through Kentucky in the meeting house. <br> On Wednesday evening, our Christian Endeavor society had a most interesting meeting. The topic was "A Living Christ, Christ-like Living." <br> Our mission teachers are Miss M. L. Linn and Miss A. B. Fitts. The former has charge of our Grammar department and the latter of the Primary. On May 28th, they closed a very successful year of school. A delightful picnic was held on the school grounds in the afternoon of Tuesday the 28th. Baseball, croquet and other games were greatly enjoyed by the pupils. Our teachers treated their pupils to ice cream. All seemed loath to leave the school grounds when the time came to go. <br><br> We Give 16 to 1. <br> Want the Unlimited Coinage of Silver and Gold. <br> 16 to 1 is the Slogan! It has always been that way at <br> 16 OUNCES TO THE POUND <br> Henderson's Grocery <br> Guaranteed to hold out just that way, too. Lowest Prices! Prompt Delivery!
