The Rev. John Barclay, who has
been ui Wilson as minister of the
Pirit Christian Church for the past
scvx’nteeri years, left September 7
tc take up new duties as pastor
of the Central Christian Church in
Austin, Texas.
Mr Barclay, a graduate of
Traniylvania College, came to
Wilson from Bethany College,
Bethany, West Va. During the
seventeen years he has been pastor
of the Christian Church has done
a great deal in improving tli:
church nr i has taken an activc
interest 'n the lives and welfar-
of the you'ig people of the town.
The pastor of the Christian
Church has always been closely al-
bed v.ith the college, and always
took an unusual amount of inter
est in the college. Through his
influence quite a few of the stu
dents came to Atlantic Christian
Oillege who otherwise would not
have done so. Students were al
ways made to feel at home in th>-
church and were urged to take an
active part in the affairs of the
diuri h Thi Sunday Sc1ioi.j1 of
the Air was begun mainly for the
K-nefit of the college and liigh
school students. This was some
tliini' new and a great deal of ;n
terC't was manifested in these pro
grams.
