k into the smouldering glow of sympathetic affection.

Where once had stood their first humble log cabin, there arose in the
course of a few years the new "Crestlands," a stately mansion of brick
with spacious rooms, broad halls and pillared porches. This noble,
historic homestead is to-day occupied by the fifth generation of
Logans. Its founder, Abner Logan, realized his ideal; for his home
became a center of peace and order, love and content--a radiating
point, ever widening into increasing circles of beauty and usefulness;
and the name, "Crestlands," is still a synonym for hospitality,
integrity and Christian culture in that green and beautiful portion of
"God's Country" called Cane Ridge.

In June, 1804, the several ministers of the new organization met at
Cane Ridge meeting-house, and drew up the "Last Will and Testament of
Springfield Presbytery." A copy of this quaint and remarkable document
is here subjoined:

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF SPRINGFIELD PRESBYTERY

_Item._ We _will_, that our name of distinction, with its _Reverend_

and His name one.

_Item._ We _will_, that our power of making laws for the government
of the church, and executing them by delegated authority, forever
cease; that the people may have free course to the Bible, and adopt
_the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus_.

_Item._ We _will_, that candidates for the Gospel ministry
henceforth study the Holy Scriptures with fervent prayer, and obtain
