Nhj(. The Traditions Tue Records
The 1'elebratlon of.tbe 100th An.
nlversary Improvement Etc.
Written for The Standard by Rev. Paul Bar
ringer, the present pastor of Lower Stone.
The earliest chnrch records we
have of Grace Reformed church
(commonly called Lower Stone) is a
record of infant baptisms and was
commenced Oct 20th, 1782. Jacob
Fisher, a staunch patriot, was the
donor of this large volum?, which is
bound after the primitive fashion.
It was used up to March 1st, 1SS5.
The first recorded baptism in this
book was Oct. 20th, 1782, and the
last was March 1st, 18S5.
In this yolume of infant baptisms
we find many names of Lutheran
children. This may be explained on
the ground that the best of feeling
always prevailed between the
Lutheran and Reformed churches in
North Carolina. The' records of the
old churches show that Reformed
and Lutheran ministers were to be
found amocg the early pioneers, and
that tbeie was a goodly number of
adherents to the Augsberg confession
and Heidelberg Catechism. The
Lutherans and Reforms built union
churches and not unfrequently wor
shipped in the sarnie house on alter-,
nate Sundays. Their ministers were
;nen of ability, usually being able to
read and write in several different
languages. .
Among one of the oldest organiza
tions of the "Reformed church in
the United States ' in North Caro
lina is Grace church Tradition now
has it that the church was once a
union church an i had its first or
ganization some six miles north east
of the present sight. Also that;wh5n
Zion (new Organ church) was first
begun that the two congregations
agreed to build a ucn church, but
from some misunderstanding or disi
agreement the two congregations
separated af ier a year's labor and
that, the Reformed movod to the
present sigt;t and erected a house
whose iuoide wails would receive
Organ church's outside walls and
that; in height would take in the
roof of the Organ church building.
It is generally settled that the walls
of Organ cburch were begun one
year before thoBe of "Lower Stone,"
yet this does not necaranly argue
that the two congregations began
the building of Organ church as a
union church, Tradition concern
ing these two churches stems to be
conflicting and therefore contradict
ory. Some claim that both congre
gation? first worshis-d in their own
house tuUt of LiuU-vy Ike1, while
others eam So think thai it was a
union cliurcb. Hot we e.re not
writing the hisio.-ynf Organ church,
yet it is evidenf, the hiarory of one
is identically the his'ory of the
other.
Ths old baptiemul record has on a
detached leaf, evidently the first
and outside one, the inscription:
"Kinder, die dem Herr Hind einver
ieibet, durch den Bund der Heiligen
Taufe," 20th October 1782. In
English it would be: "Children who
have been incorporated icto the
Lord, by the Covenant of Holy lkp
tisin." In 1883 tbe old record was
displaced by a new oup.
Dr. Samuel R Fisher, who was
chief editor of the Reformed Mes
senger, came on a' yisit to North
Carolina in the year 1871 to yisit
relatives. He was a relative of the
old Jacob Fiaher family so" con
spicuously identified with the early
history of Grace church, and, there
fore, became much interested in the
past history of this congregation. He
spent some days with his cousin,
Solomon Fiaheq, who was then an
old man and visit 4wld give inci
dents in the hia'ry ot the church
and congregation as handed down by
his father and others.
One of Solomon Fisher's sons tells
us that he remembers quite well
when his father and Dr. S R Fisher
were searching old records, for
severaldays, for facts relative to
this congregation. What he then
wrote on this subject must be as
near authentic 88 it would be possible
to get Dr. Fisher says the inscrip
tion on the outer leaf of the old bap
tismal record, and "other peculiar
ities about the church building, are
all in keeping with the churchly
sentiment embodied in the inscript
ions taken from the churn leordsj'
Lie therefore gleaned both from trar
dition and the preseryed records of
the church. He also searched
Harbock's ''Line ofv the Fathers"
for all the information he could get
concerning the Reformed chnrch in
North Caroline. " We find then that
his opportunity for correct tradition
al history was quite good, as such re
liable members of the church as
Solomon Fisher John Peeler and
IT
o.hcf ld men rer-living to report
wii'it had bees; huiidf.d down to
them by their ancestry and others.
Iu his article he speaks of a log
church. Here he eays: "Grace
church, commonly known as Lower
Stone church, the principal congre
gation now (1871) constituting the
I East Rowan charge, is one cf the
I oldest Reformed churches in N'rth
I Carolina.
We could not ascertain the exact
date of its organization During the
early part of its existence, it occu
pied a log cburch, which tradition
says, was erected about forty years
before it was displaced by the build,
ing at present occupied by the con
gregation, which was erected in 179C,
This would throw the organization
of the congregation, as far back as
1755, which is probable the correct
date."
In the year 1880 the Rev- J C
Dennv. who was pastor over this
flock for several years previous.
wrote an article for publication in
which ha says : "This congregation
was organized about the year 1755
The first house of worship was built
of unhewed hickory logs, forty feet
square. This furnished room sufh'
cient to accommodate a very respec
table number cf people. It seryed
for manv vears the purpose of
Church, lecture room, and school
house, all in one.
Elder Caeper Holshouser, who
died in 1870 at the adyanced age of
85 years, had often been in the old
house, before it was removed, and
wis able to giye a full and satisfac
tory account of all the facts and
traditions in the case. He had
often heardthe aged members speak
in Gorman, the, language then in
use, and relate to their claildren and
grand-children their many toils and
labors to secure the gospel according
to the faith of their fathers. He
said that the opinion of late years
held to by some, that it waB at first
a "Union Church," was without
foundation or authority; that the
Reformed were numerically strong
in this region from the beginning;
that there were a number of fami
lies, and among ;tbem many strong
and active young men living on Lit
tle Buffalo, Dutch Buffalo, Bear
Creek, Cold Water, Jenny Wolf, and
Dutch Second Creek, connected wilh
this church lnirs first organization."
"When the Hickory church, as it
was then called by the common peo
ple, had stood about twenty yews,
and the congregation had grown
large and strong, the desire for a
more commodious . and substantial
building matured into a prpose,and
was actedont in a plan. To this
end a purchase of 16 acres of land,
including the'ground upon which
the old churcl; building was stand
ing, was made from Lcrentz Lingle,
for the sum of five pounds, procla
mation money of the Province of
North Carolina. This; was part of
a large tract of land granted to the
said Lingle by the earl of Granville.
Tbe deed bears date 1774 and con
veys the land to Andrew Holts
hr.user and John Lippard, for the
use of the "Calvin Congregation."
About this time, through the neglect
or disholiesty of Earl Granville's
sgentB, inany instruments put on
record failed to convey a good title,
and in order to secure this in due
fcrm,the original trustees transferred
the property to Jacob Fisher and
John Cooper, (This last we think a
misprint and ought to be John Cas
per). In this deed the church is
named the German Presbyterian
congregation on Second Creek, in
the Dutch settlement."
The present church building is
built of rough stone. Where these
etones come from we connot
epeak wilh authority, but certainly
they must bave been quarried from
some vein or gathered from some
slate'ridges in the vicinity.
The walls are massive, being by
actual measurement 32 inches at the
ground, 27 at first floor, and 21 from
gallery up. The building is 50 feet
long and 40 feet wide and is 27 feet
high on the sides, while the gables
fiom giound is 39 feet. The build
ing of this house was a herculean
task, and we are net enrpritsed that
the people were quite a time build
ing it, which tradition says was
twenty years. This embraced too
that period of time from 1775 to
1782, known in history the Revolu.
tionarj war. The Colonial Records
Bpeaking of this church and cons
gregation says, that the people re
sorted to lotteries, but we are in
formed that this is a mistake, but
that they did have fairs from which
they derived some reyenue.
The first pulpit in this church
waB after the old goblet fashion,
standing on a post with a sounding
board above, and was accessible by a
flight of stairs. Here the preacher
was completely hid except' his head
and shoulders, and wad about on a
level wilh his audiance on tbe gall
eries. The first floor ran with the
the lay of tbe ground, and was laid
with flat stones. Dr. S R Fisher is
of the opinion that our fathers
wershipped without stoves in their
fihurches.
In 1871 a regular wooden floor
was put in the church and elevated
fcver.il feet above the old sfone floor
inner lojprovtmen's have, gone or.,
on the interior from time to time. If
we are not miBtakeu, duiicg the
pastorate of Rev. Crooks tac old pul-
t it was replaced by a new and mod
ern one, and the la'est improvement
was mde during the montha of April
May and June of this (1895) year, at
a cost to the congregatien of about
$200.
Tbe church buildingormerlly in a
grove, now stands in the graveyard,
having been a few years ago enclosed
by a stone wall. Within this "God's
Acre," lies the bodies of two Re
formed ministers, yiz : The Rev,
Daniel B Lerch, and old father ueo,
Boger, of blessed memory. As the
worshipppr approaches tbe church
fiom either of the three side to the
doors of entrance, his httencion is at
tracted to smooth stones over the
doors with a very ancient inscription
chiseled upon them. This is in Ger
man and but few if any of the wor
shippers know what the inscription
is, since German has ceased to be the
language of the times, and therefore
the generation now living read not
their ancestrial writings.
As you approach the south dcor
and pause for a moment you will
observe the following German verse:
'Zur Ehre Gottes ist Gebant
Die Kiricbe Welche Ihr tier anschiint
Von einem Yolk so God erkennt,
Und sich nach Jesum Christum nennt
Die anch mit ihm sind einverleibet
Und Sich die Reformirte schricbet,"
1793. "Gnaden Kirclie, Ende,'
laterally, in English, it is :
''To the Glory of God has leen buili,
The church which you here behold,
By a people who God confess,
And name themselves after .Iesu Christ;
Who are also mcoporated with Him,
Anl call themselves 'The Unformed.' "
1705, Grace Church. The Ead
But a more beautiful transla
tion is :
"This cburch Ts built not for show nor
fame
But for the hoaor of God's creat name,
By a peoftto who God adored,
Ana, Dear tue name ot (Jiirist their
Lord,
As German Reformed this people is
known.
May God their Savior's theme ever
own."
Over the west door is found the
following :
"Lass Dein Wort ia Zion schallun ;
Geh, mit dem ans und cm :
Und wann wir mit Hanfen wallen.
"Wo die Gotter-dienste sein ;
Ach 1 so segue du uns Ilerr ;
Gib auch treue rredia;ere,
Die dein wort mit nutzen lehren.
Unt die welt zur dir bekchren."
"GuaJen lvirche."
The literal in English is :
"Let Thy word in Zion resound,
Go with each one, out and m ;
And when, in throngs, we tread
W here the service ot ood is held :
Oh ! do 1 hou bless us, Lord ;
Grant also faithful ministers.
Who Thy word pure with profit teach,
And the world to l hee convert.'
Grace Church,
The more euphonic is;
"In Zion let Thy word be preached,
And through its power our hearts be
reached.
And when in throngs we do meet there,
Where Thou art worshipped in song aud
prayer,
Oh ! bless us Lord and grant us then,
As preachers pure and godly men,
Who will preach Thy word in its purity
That sinners repent, and all worship
thee.
Over the north door is the follow
ing:
"Wir gehen in unsers Gottes llansz,
Mil hertzens wonne, ein und ans,
Gott laesset uns noch Ciulen
Den theuren Schatz, das Lebcns Wort,
Hier Zeigt Er uns des Himmels Pfort,
Vergebung unser Sunden."
"Guaden Kirche.
The litteral is :
We go in to our House of God
With heartfelt joy, iu and out,
God permits us still to find
The precious Treasure, the word of Life,
Here lie shows us Heaven's gate ;
The foregiveness of our sins."
Grace Church.
It is pretty well settled that the
church was not dedicated until in
November 1811, on which occasion
the Rev. Mr. Lorentz, a Reformed
minister, was assisted by the Rev.
Dr. Robinson, a Presbyterian minis
ter who was then pastor of Poj lar
Tent. The two facts, viz: The
dedication of the church in 1811
and the assistance of Dr. Robinson
coupled with the name "German
Presbyterian congregation" may
have led our good Bro. Dr. Rumple
in writing his history of Rowan to
say in speaking of this congregation
that : "The Reformed church is
Calvinistic in faith and Presbyterian
in church government." The fact
is. it is Pre.bylrial and not Presby.
terian in churh polity. He also
thinks the corner stone vt as laid in
175, when on one of the stones over
the south door the date 1795 is en
graved and following is the German
"Ende." "The end." Also to the
right hand of the south door is the
face of a 4ul chiselled on a smooth
blue Btone and on here ia written ;
"Im Jake Christi, 1795," that is in
tb.3 year of our Jjord 1795, and on
close observation we notice the hands
of the clock pointing to 9:30 and we
conclude that between the hours of
9 and 10 o'clock, 1795, the walls
were finished. If this be correct
then Dr. Rumple ia in error in sup
posing it was not completed until
1811. -
Following are the names and
dates of the different ministers serv
ing this church :
Samuel Suther from July 29tb,
1782 to 17S5.
Andrew Loientz from 1789 to 1795.
Samuel Weyberg from 1798 to
1800.- '

R F Crocks from 1S7G to 18S1.
The charge was then vacant and
at a meeting of the North Carolina
Classes at Mt. Zion, West Rowan
cha t in May, 1882 the Revs. G
Dickie, Gurley and Paul Barriuger
were made a committee of supply
for the East Rowan charge ; but on

You will observe that when the
church was dedicated in 1S11 that
the Kev. George Boger was pastor,
but not desirous of conducting the
dedicatory services, aa we supposed
being somewhat reticent and not
