Pop .rummer of Che rail is of
fixe same mahogany, provid
ing a dlsttoctivelyt beautiful
border far Che ail white
sody of Che rail.
In leading Che service of
iedicaltiom, Pastor O. Daniel
McCall explained ifihle «ym
bollc Significance of Ctoelpul
pit. “With Che open Bible
upon It, the pulpit signifies
fixe oembrailiity and suprem
acy of God's Word, in Che
life of Christa Ohiurdh,” he
said. The pastor went on to
comment on Che symbolic
wood carvtags which adorn
the pulpit. The tower front
of the pulpit boars • the
opening words of (the 121st
Paata, “I will lift up urine
eyes unto the Mils.” (Above
and in the front-center of
fixe pulpit ribands Che Celtic
Cress, a version of Che sym
bol of Christ’s Passion fcrta
djLuor.ally associated with
Prejbyibariams. To the right
of the Cross Is a carving of
this view of Whiteside Moun
tain from the IRavenel home
place to Highlands, “Wolf
Ridge.” The left panel bears
a carving of Highlands Palls.
“These sdanes of beloved
Highlands’ damdmariSB ere
included as a testimony to
ene carmevwo mat nxreogn
faith Che hand of Che Crea
tor may ibe discerned to the
beauties of 'His Creation,”
commented (Pastor McCall.
The carved pattern of Che
rail—a gentle arch—is a re
plica of that over Che doora
and windows of the sun
otitaxy.
Rev. McCall noted ithe slg
ndffloamit relationship of tbs
Raraenels to toe church over
tola years. Mrs. Maigueratta
Ravened was Instrumental in
tbs provision of the church
building itself, which was
dedicated September 13to,
1886. Miss Marguerite Rav
erael was, until her death in
1962. vitally interested In
and intimately related to toe
Ufe of toe congregation.
‘"Ibis pulpit is further
endeared to use,” continued
Rev. McCall, “by toe knowl
edge that these beautiful
carvings are toe work of our
friend, toe late George
Saussy of HUghflands.” Mr.
Saussy had previously conitri
but 3d to toe beauty of toe
PreSbyharlaro sanctuary by
carving THE PRESBYTER
IAN SEAL, which is mount
ed on toe iwtaill to toe right
">» the puftait, and toe sym
bolic panels Of toe Baptten&l
ftanit.
The congregation stood as
toe Pastor ted in a prayer
dedicating toe pulpit and
rail to God and to (His serv
ice 'through Christ's Church.
Rev. McCall’s 'prayer was a
modifioaltian of toe prayer
with which Rev. A. W. Miller
doddoattsd the church Itself
in 1885.
By E. Vance Davis
“He’s stopped preaching 1
