S. A. Marshall was a brother-in-law to Isaac Errett, and always deeply interested himself in this work of building up the churches. The church at Pardee was also represented. And this constituted the make-up of our first missionary society. Three churches represented, and enough persons decently to fill a little seven-by-nine log school-house. Let us learn not to despise the day of small things.
Since 1864, Ario Pardee has given to Lafayette College more than five hundred thousand dollars; and the donations of John C. Green to Princeton aggregate toward a million of dollars. Alexander Agassiz, worthy son of a worthy father, has donated more than a quarter of a million of dollars to the equipment of the Museum of Comparative Zoology and Anatomy which his father founded.
All this should have been told in the past tense, because Pardee's is no more. But Okoochee, Oklahoma, is full of paradoxes like Pardee's. And before you know Okoochee you have to know Sam Pardee, missing. There are all sorts of stories about Okoochee, Oklahoma and almost every one of them is true. Especially are the fantastic ones true the incredible ones.
There's more fun in twenty-five a week in a pay envelope than in forty thousand down a dry well." Maxine was fifteen now. "I wish we could live with Father in Oklahoma. I think it's wrong not to." Milly Pardee was beginning to think so, too. Especially since her husband's letters had grown rarer as the checks they contained had grown larger.
There will be some, mayhap, to set up the button as rival to the safety pin in service to humanity. But our homage bends toward the former. It is fortunate, pardee, that human memory does not extend backward to the safety pin era happily the recording carbon sheet of the mind is not inserted on the roller of experience until after the singular humiliations of earliest childhood have passed.
During father's absence the meetings were led by our elders, Dr. Moore, Bro. Elliott, and Bro. Brockman. We often rode to meeting in the ox-wagon, as did some of our neighbors. Father again preached in Illinois from October, 1857, until New Year. He preached in Pardee the rest of the winter; but in the spring he began traveling and preaching in various parts of the Territory.
Pardee Butler was in sympathy with good men in every good cause. While a born controversialist, and strong in his convictions, he was glad to work with Christians of any name in building up the kingdom of God in the world.
His testimony is incidental, and therefore so much the stronger: The brethren of the four churches named have tried to co-operate together to sustain Bro. Pardee Butler as home missionary for a little while.
It is able to report a missionary society, that in the eight months intervening between the Tecumseh State meeting and the present Convention, has collected and paid over to its four evangelists J; H. Bauserman, Pardee Butler, S. G. Brown and J. J. Trott the sum of $827.
She ate little herself, as do most expert cooks, and found her reward when Sam or Maxine uttered a choked and appreciative "Mmm!" In the midst of creature comforts such as these Sam Pardee said, one evening, "Oil." Mrs. Pardee passed it, but not without remonstrance. "It's the same identical French dressing you had last night, Sam. I mixed enough for twice. And you didn't add any oil last night."
