lARROWOOD SPEAKS
TO AT
LUNCH WEDNESDAY
Minister States Declaration
of Independence Is “the
Most Precious of Our Nat
ional Documents.”
“We have a glorious heritage from
our forefathers and the Declaration
of Independence is the most precious
Os our national documents,” Rev. R.
Arrowood, pastor of McKinnon
Presbyterian Church, said AA’ednesday
■ in an address before the Concord
Rotary Club.
Mr. Arrowood told of the author of I
th«( Declaration of Independence and
, then spoke of the national heritage
from our forefathers.
“First we have our religious heri
tage. It is. true that many of the
early settlers who came to this coun
try from the Old World were crimin
lns4 but it is also true that the major
ity of the settlers came to this country
for religious reason,” the minister
said, and he then mentioned the set
tlers of different faiths who had set
tled in America in the early days of
its history.
“It was tfie Cburcji that started
the school systems in this country.
In our own state, North Carolina, the
early schools were Church schools. It
was from these religious -influences
that the ideal of freedom came.
“AA’e should speak, too, when speak
ing of our national heritages, of the
sacrifices our forefathers made to give
us the country we have. AA’e see today
a great contrast in our country and
the country the patriots fought for.
They walked over snow and iye to
• fight fo'r freedom. Today we ride over
the same country in fine automobiles.
“Our forefathers gave to us of
their Jiody, their strength, and their
mind,” Mr. Arrowood said. “AA’e
should take these gifts, both material
and spiritual, and use them as they
used them for ~lhe highest standards
and ideals and try to keep our coun
try great.”
AA’illiam Bingham was present as a
new member and Frank C. Niblock
made a short talk on Rfotary and
presented him with a Rtary pin and
a copy of the by-laws of the Club.
