outside. The heat never reached the floor. When the church would be getting warm, some fellow would jump up and open a window, and then another would open another window and the church would be as cold as before I lit the fire. When they got the floor furnaces in the sixties, they were an awful pain in the neck. I'd go down to the church before midnight on Saturday and start the furnace fire to get the place warmed up and next morning the fire would be out. There would be chilly legs and chilly seats. Some of the seats used to have cushions on them. At least three or four of them did. I think Mac MacLean 's had one. We had a thick cushion on our seat. My grandmother put it on. Those seats were pretty cold to sit on. It wasn't wise to move 'somewheres else' after you got a place warmed up. Finally, someone went in, gathered the cushions up and threw them out back in the cemetery. The minister had a seat and a cou¬ ple of chairs. If they had horsehair on the seats that must have been why they stood up so much. I don't know where the old seats went when they replaced them with the new ones for two aisles. I think they got broken up, but I was too busy at that time making a living to buy something to eat to remember where they went. In the early days with the board floor I would sweep from the front to the back and the dirt would fall down between the boards. The next wind would bring it up again. When they fixed it up it wasn't so bad. I was told I was not a very good janitor. They sent a delegation to check it out. They asked me to come down when they were going to inspect the church. Clarence Carr came out and he couldn't see anything wrong with it. The place would fill up with flies. I got a package of stuff for them and I put it on the window sills. I had the church nearly cleaned up, but the stuff gave some of them the snuf¬ fles and they said it did not look good. I done the best I could cleaning. I did not have much to work with, a broom, a dust¬ pan and a dust rag. I have no memory of A. E. MacLean using the tuning fork to start the singing, nor do I remember when they got the first organ, the two-peddle floor one. The first organist I can remember playing that organ is Aunt Etta , A.
