And that Is because for more than 00 years a song familiar to thousands Invites one to (nine to the church by the wildwood, Oh, come to the church In he vale." The I ittle Brown Church of song and story Is located in northeastern lown. In the beautiful valley of the lied Cedar. It stands today among the same giant pines that were there when It was built back In Civil war days. In the wildwood which made the setting and provided the Inspiration for the carol. As a matter of fact the song, variously known as The Church In the AVIldwood" and "The Little Brown Church In the Vale, was not written nhout any church specifically. Its Dr. W. S. Pitts, a native of Wisconsin, received the Inspiration for the song while on a visit In Iowa. He wrote the song at his home In Hock county, Wisconsin, but It was sung for the first time publicly In the Little Irown Church In the Vale. In Bradford, Iowa, two miles northeast of Nashua. How he came to write the song and how it came to be applied to this particular church and to ninke It famous Is told In Doctor Pitts' own words. In a historical booklet, published by the Little Brown Church, as follows: "One bright afternoon of a day In June, 1857, I first set foot In Bradford, Iowa, coming by stage from McGregor. My home was then In Wisconsin. The spot where The Little Brown Church now stands was a setting of rare beauty. There was no church there then but the spot was there waiting for it When hack in my home 1 wrote the song. The Little Brown Church in the Vale. I put the manuscript away. "Ip the spring of 1S02 I returned to Iowa and settled at Fredericksburg, Inasmuch as my wife's people were there. In the winter of 18L34 I taught a singing class In Bradford. We held our school in the brick building known as the Academy. In the years 1839 and 1800 the good people of Bradford were determined to build a church. I antt-Ipro- d Idle-painte- vvor-ahlpe- r r, now-famou- s l.t.uiu am will not lake lime to loll of I he trials, the disappointment and the success. that fidloucd; sti It!, e It to say. by the early wilder of Iso, the building was roadv dedication. "While I wa holding the singing school, near It dose In (lie spring, the tlass went one evening to the oliun li. It wa nd then sealed, but rude seats were linprov Icd. My mail usiript of the sotig I had brought with me from Wisconsin. It bad never been sung before by nn.votie but invself. I sang It there. Soon afterwards I look the manuscript to Chicago, .where It was published by II. M. Ilig;lus. It won u speedy recognition locally and with the years won Its way Into the hearts of the people of the world. Soon after Its publication the church at Bradford (which had been palmed brown for want of money to buy hotter paint, some say) became known as 'The Llltle Brown Church In the vvliat Vale.' 1mler the circumstance Is more natural than the little church at Bradford, painted brown, ami the song should be vvuldcd and Known ns one and the same. Some people may try to rob the little church of Its fame but ns long as it stands It will be known as The Little Brown Church In the Vale.'" At the time the Little Brown Church wtis Built Bradford was a thriving town utid the largest settlement In that part of the slate except Dubuque Of the times, Bov. and McGregor. John K. Niitllng, the pastor under whose ministry the building was erected, wrote: "We lived well. My salary was paid In products, at prices of which I could not complain. Wheat was 30 cents per bushel mill close nt hand. Best cuts of beef, 0 cents per pound. Potatoes never more than 25 cents per bushel nt planting time In the spring often given away. Other farm products were valued on the same scale. In winter, carcass pork, frozen, could sometimes be secured for 1 cent per pound. A threatened thaw would generally overwhelm the Many (1 parsonage with spare-ribs- . with the rest) had sugar enmps In the forest and made our own sugar. Others raised sorghum. The church grew, and as a kind of came Bradford The school was housed better than the church. In a fine brick structure Beginning in a small way, the school grew and did notable work, elevat ing the standard of education in the region around, so that nt one time It was said that n territory of equal size In Iowa could claim so many people with a college education. In 1S08 the long hoped-fo- r railroad came and passed Bradford by, touching at Nashua two miles away and across the river. Bradford, the largest town for many miles, gradually became a town of the past, while Nashim grew to the dignity of a population of 1.000. Where Bradford once stood, the land was turned Into farms. The Little Brown church survived, however. This was on account of Doctor Fitts' song, mainly, for after It was taken to Chicago and published, Jubilee singers took It up. concert companies carried It all over America and Europe, and it was heard in Australia, New Zealand and South America. For 20 years It was one of the popular songs of the country. For some years after this the song fr nea-lem- wa little In evidence, like the church. Then about 23 years ago the song bad n revival of popularity and again began to be heard widely nt religious meeting throughout the country. Bradford's Meantime, following change from a town Into open country, tlie Little Brown Church wa abandoned. But the need of a place of worship caused it to be reopened and it was restored a nearly a possible to the way In which it was built. Thus for nmre than a quarter of a century it lias been a real country church. A little church which sprang Into fame within recent years is a qtmlut old Quaker meeting house In Sandy Spring, Md., 20 miles from Washington, no, it came Into prominence w hen Ircsi, lent Herbert Hoover attended services there. There wits a particular reason for Ills going to that church. The President's biographers tell liovv Herbert Hoover Is a descendant of Andrew Hoover, a stalwart colonial pioneer, who "held farms In the uplands of Maryland.'' meaning the vicinity of Sandy Spring. It was in this meeting house, built In 1817. that earlier generations of the Hoovers worshiped. OIT .the coast of New Hampshire Is a little church which Is unique. It stands alone on Star Island, Isles of Slmahs. ten miles from the mainland, which Is said to he the only island In America dedicated entirely to religious services. Built In 1800, after the wooden meeting house was destroyed during the Kevolution for fuel, this stone structure for 130 years has been the scene of worship by mothers, sisters and sweethearts, praying for the safe return of their loved ones, fishermen at sea. At ten oelock each night when all is hushed, the pilgrims place themselves In column formation. Lighted candles, encased In glass shades and swung from handles like lanterns, are passed out to them. Then the column silently winds Us way up the path to the top of the hill where the little gray stone ctiurch with Its old fashioned pine pews, its cracked bell and the metal codfish on the belfry, stands. There by the dim light of the randies, the pilgrims inside the church and outside for It is not large enough for all hmv their heads In prayer. Then voices are raised In the words of some appropriate h.vnin and after this brief service the column moves slowly down the hill again. In naming the little churches there is one which should not be passed by without mention. On the top of Mount Casino, some two miles south of Covington, Ky on the Highland pike. Is wliut is stiid to be the smallest church in the world, since It Is capable of accommodating a congregation of not more than three persons! This small brick structure was built In 1890 by some brothers of the Benedictine order, who used It as a shrine during the years they were engaged there in the making of sacramental wine. During the years of Its use It contained an altar, the usual church candles, a crucifix and pews for the accommodation of three persons. But it Is no longer used as a church, though still owned by St. Joseph's parish of Covington. It Is now merely an out house of the estate on which it is situated. . 1J1.
