St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
This newly erected temple of
worship, on the corner of Fourth
and Campbell st reets, was dedicated
to God with appropriate, solemn and
impressive services yesterday, which
were witnessed and participated in
by a congregation, so large as to fil1
every available space in the audito
rium, besides which many failed to
gain an entrance in consequence of
the throng.
The building thus dedicated to
God's service is one of the mjast
beautiful, commodious and .attrac
tive houses of worship in the city;
but its structure and internal and
external arrangements have so often
been described heretofore, that a
repetition does not become neces
sary at this time. Suffice it to say
that those who have had charge of
the construction have been watch
ful, faithful and zealous in their
efforts to secure every possible de
sirable convenience for the comfort
and accommodation of both pastor
and people. The ftiatters of light
and ventilation have been carefully
attended to, while the seats are
arranged in a semi circular foiim,
thus converging the line of sight
directly upon the pulpit and iits
occupants. The building committee
was composed of Messrs. W. J.
Sprunt, chairman; Thomas F. Bag
ley, treasurer, George L. Morton
secretary; Oscar Pearsall, Dr. A. D
McDonald, Jerre Hand, R. S. Love,
J. W. Monroe, R. H. Chasten, J.j C.
Stewart, W. Smallbones, W.j J.
Smith, S. P. McNair and Rev. J.W.
Primrose, all of whom rendered
good and efficient and indispensable
service, but it remains to be said
that, from first to last, Mr. Thomas
F. J3agley gave unremitting atten
tion to the supervision of the work.
The architect was M r. A. G. Bauer,
under whose immediate supervision
and direction the edifice was began
and completed.
The services were commenced yes
terday morning by a short volun
tary on the organ, taken from
Haydn's orations of "The Creation,"
Miss Annie Sprunt being the organ
ist. This was followed by a short
anthem by the choir, the vocalists
being Mrs. M. Fletcher Manning and
Miss Minnie Schwarz, sopranos;Mrs.
F. H. Muse and Miss Belle Wood,
altos; Messrs. C. H. Robinson and J
D. Smith, tenors, and M. F. Man.
ning arid C. T. Bowden, basses.
Next came prayer by the pastor,
Rev. J. W. Primrose, the congr ega -tion
standing, and at the concluson
of the prayer, joining in singi ng the
doxology.
The pastor then read a brief his -torical
sketch of the church from
the time of its formation in Novem
ber, 1858, with 14 members, to th e
present time when it has 226 corns
municants. From the time of or
ganization in 1858 until the com
mencement of Rev. Dr. Payne's
ministry in 1874 -a period of nearly
16 years the total, number of ac
cessions to the chprch Was 43, of
whom, in addition 'to the three al
ready named, four others are with it
now, viz: Mrs. Joseph O. Bowden,
Mrs. Julia Fillyaw and Mrs. Louisa
M. Howell, who united with the
tburch in March, 1859, and Mrs. A.
Alderman, who became a member
in 1861. Their first church building
was on Chestnut street, between
Seventh and Eighth, and their pul
pit was first supplied by Rev. Martin
McQueen, who served from Jan
uary, 1859, until December, 1863,

the church had no stated minis
ter. The Chestnut street .church
wag sold in February, 1867, and the
congregation worshipped with jfche
First Church. From November
1870, to November, 1873, the cjon
gregation worshipped in Brooklyn
Hall, and the pulpit was supplied
nearly all that time by Rev. H. B.
Burr, under whose ministrations the
church greatly prospered. In J874
the brick church on Campbell
street, immediately in rear of the
present house of worship, was built. ! Alexander Sprunt, the services con
Rev. H. B. Burr having resigned, the cimiing with the benediction pro
church had no stated minister until j nounced by the latter gentleman.
June, 1874, when Kev. U. M. .Payne.
one of the founders of the church,
entered into rest. He had survived
the period of the greatest depression
in the history of the church, and
witnessed the success of his con
stancy and untiring devotion. A
tablet to his memory was erected by
the congregation in the old church,
and a memorial window, erected by
his family in the present new edifice,
will prove a continual reminder of
that Christian heroism which ex
pends labor where labor most is
needed following the example of
Him who came, not to be ministered
unto, but to minister unto others.
In December, 1884, Rev. J. W.
Primrose, the present pastor, began
his labors with the church and his
ministrations have resulted in great
good.
In June, 1888, a proposition to en.
large the old church was started,
which resulted in the erection of
the present house of worship, the
first ground for which was broken
October 1st, 1888. Previous to this
however,thename had been changed
from "Second Presbyterian''1 to "St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church."
The corner stone was laid with Ma
sonic honors October 16th, 1888. Mr.
William H. Sprunt has been super
intendent of the Sunday School
during the years of the present pas
torate, keeping pace with all the
best .methods of instruction, so that
it is now in a flourishing condition.
"And now, with these facts before
us, dedicating to God by His wor
ship, a building which twelve
months ago no one foresaw, and
waiting to hear the preached gospel
for the first time spoken within
these walls, and that by a son and
namesake of the original members,
who planted and tended the dimin
utive germ of this church in prayer
and faith and patience, we do praise
God and take eourage."
RevC W. McC. Miller then read
the well known hymn, "All hail the
power of Jesus' name," which was
sung to "Coronation," by the choir
and congregation.
Rev. Alexander Sprunt, of Hen
dersou, but a native of this city and
son of our late esteemed townsman
Mr. Alexander Sprunt, then read
the Scrinture lesson, which was
comprised in portion of the 100th
and 98th Psalms and part of the
third enistle of John's Gospel. Next
followed a prayer by Rev. P. H.
Hoge, of the First Presbyterian
Church, then the reading of a hymn
by Rev. Edward P. Lane, of Cam
pinas, Brazil, and the singing of the
same bv the choir. The. latter also
followed the hymn with an offertory
which was an elegantly appropriate
selection and which was sung in
most excellent taste and musicianly
skill.
Rev. Alexander Sprunt, who had
been selected to preach the dedica
tory sermon, then began by taking
for his text the fiftieth verse of the
sixth Chapter 'of Paul's Epistle to
the Ephesians: "And your feet shod
with the preparation of the gospel
of peace."
Rev. Mr. Sprunt, although not
looking like one who possesses great
physical powers, seems to be a bun
die of nervous force. He has a full
clair voice with distinct enunciation
and speaks rapidly, so that it would
take an expert stenographer to keep
up with his rapid flowing thoughts.
His jestures, of which he uses many,
were grateful and strictly appro
priate. He spoke just 35 minutes,
during which time he said nearly
twice as much as ordinary speakers
would say in the same time. The
idea conveyed in his sermon that all
nhristains were ensraered in a war
w - W -
fare against the powers
ness, and no soldier of
was fitted for the fight
was completely clad. He
folly prepared in all other respects,
but lacking to be "shod with the
preparation of the gospel of peace,"
be was as much unfitted for the
fray as if he had put on none of his
armor. It was a forceful, logical
effort, and we regret that we can
give no more than the foregoing
brief outline.
Then followed a prayer by Rev.
Edward Lane, a hymn read by Rev-
