Hear of Olden Times
Rev. I^tcher Smith Recounts
Early Days of Historic Church;
Hundreds at Reunion
Hundreds of people from many
different sections of «ie state gather
ed at historic Cypress Presbyterian
Church Sunday for the annual home
coming, an event which is growing
in popularity each year.
The Rev. David Fairly Blue, a
young minister from Fayetteville,
was the morning speaker, and he
brought a message that was well
received by the large number pres
ent.
At the noon hour, a bounteous pic
nic dinner was spread on a long
table in the grove, and following the
noon-day meal, a part of the crowd
assembted in the church for a song
service. The Rev. Letcher Smith of
Fayetteville, a former pastor, was
then presented by the Rev. W. A.
Brown, present pastor, and Mr.
Smith held ihe interest of the group
as he spoke of the earlier days when
he served this church and of the
changes that have taken place.
The speaker told of havmg been en
tertained in homes as much afi five
miles distant from the church aBd of
walking with his host and thp lat-
ter’s family to attend the services,
this being the only mode of trans
portation available in some instan
ces. “I’ve walked, and helped carry
the baby,” the speaker said.
Cypress Church is one of the pld-
est churches In the Sandhills, its his
tory dating back well over a cen
tury. Services are held there regrular-
ly and the building and grounds are
kept in good ^ndition- A bequest
by the late M. McL. McKeithen a
few years ago made possible a num
ber of improvements to the building.
