A. ^ Lawrence, occupied the pulpit, bring ing an appropriate message which was listened to with interest by the large congregation present. Honor Roll Read After enjoying a bounteous dinner and spending some time mingling with friends, the crowd—or as many as the church would accommodate— j reassembled for the afternoon ses sion. “The Church in the Wildwood” was most fittingly sung in opening. The pastor read a list of the minis ters who had served the church from the ceginning, or as far back as rec ords were available, and also told who had served as elders ano other offi cers. E. T. McKeithen of Aberdeen red a sketch of the early church which was written 52 years ago by Dougald Mc- Laucrlin, father of the present Dr. Dougald McLauchlin. This history was very complete, and contained many interesting facts. According to the historian, the church was first built about 1823 and rebuilt and en larged in 1853. That times have not changed so much is shown by a par agraph which reads: “The records of the church show the leading difficul ties were dancing and excessive use of ardent spirits.” An amusing anecdote about an old Scotchman by the name of McGregor was also recorded. McGregor, it seems, was a thrifty man, and a use ful church man, but he had a spec ial fondness for dancing, a pastime which the church regarded as being: exceedingly sinful. ^cGregor haid three or four sons who were out in the world in business for themselves, and it was their custom to meet at the old homestead at least once a year, generall'* around Christmas time, to see each other and the other members of the family. These were occasions of much merriment. One evening a dance was in progress. The Must Remove Hotel Ruins of Southern Pines Inn Regarded as Fire Hazard and Must Go Just what plans the Harrington's have for rebuilding the Southern Pines Hotel, destroyed by fire re cently, is not known, but it was learned upo ngood authority this week that they will be ordered to tear down the remnants of the present building promptly. The ruins of the old hotel are consid ered a dangerous fire hazard at present, and both local and state authorities are expected to take action calling for their removal. It is reported that plans are be ing drawn for a new hotel on the site, but Frank Harrington wires from Maine that nothing definite has heen determined as to the fu ture of the property. There has been considerable talk of its ac quirement for a site for the new Southern Pines postoffice, but to date this has only reached the “talk” stage. had a church case pending, refrained from dancing as long as possible, but finally his desire to dance overcame i him and he remarked: “Session or no | session, McGregor’s on the floor.” History of the Church t). P. McDonald of Olivia gave an interesting history of the church, bringing in much information about the early days of Barbecue, the moth er of Cypress, and other of the his toric churches of this section. He told of the great solemnity of the com munion service in the early days. The preaching service was held, then, dur ing ^n intermission, prospective com municants were examined by the ses sion, and to those deemed worthy to participate in the Lord’s Supper were given “tokens.” When the communion was held, those presenting their tok ens were served and others were pass ed by. Mr. McDonald displayed one of these tokens, the only one which he had been able to locate. It is a small, flat square of pewter with the letter “C,” which stands for “Cy press,” on one side, and is kept in a deer-skin bag. Dr. W. M. Fairley, of Raeford, whose father served as pastor of Cy press for forty years, was the next speaker. Dr. Fairley recalled that his father, w'hen just out of the seminary, preached his first sermon at Long- street in the morning and his second one the same day at Cypress. Forty years later Dr. Fairley followed in the steps of his father, preaching his first sermon at Longstreet and his secorid that afternoon at Cypress. The Rev. M. D. McNeill of Cam- elder McGregor, who at that very time f eron, who was for some twenty years I pastor of the church and who is the Miss Bessie Cameron delightfully entertained at her home in Manly Saturday evening, honoring her broth er, J.
