Pr Teague (right) of Landis High School, are shown here being congratulated by Irving A. Duffy, vice president of Ford Motor Com pany and general manager of the Tractor and Implement Division, at a reception for 25 vocational agriculture teachers who received the Honorary American Farmer degree Tuesday, October 16, at the Future Farmers of America convention in Kansas City, Mo. Later that evening, Mclntire and Teague received special tribute at a Ford recognition dinner for 900 vocational agriculture instructors. Among the accomplishments which led to Mr. Mclntire's selection for this high honor are the following .dur ing the past five years at Mars Hill High School. His chapter has won 24 out of 31 Federation banners, has had at least two teams each year in State compe tition, having won two first places in the State and two third places; also one team livestock judging in the National Contest, which won the Silver Plaque (2nd place). Twenty-two boys have received the State Farmer de gree and "one the American Farmer degree. These accomplishments, added to the many others d uring the years since 1929, gave him this high rating to be selected as one of the 25 Vocational Agriculture teachers in the entire United States to receive the highest honor which could come to him, The Honorary American Farmer Degree. We Dedicate This Temple "Preaching is in our blood," Ernest Emurian said to his new congregation. "We almost have to preach and sing in our family j in self-defense." Following that first service in his new appoint- ment, the Elm Avenue Methodist Church, in Portsmouth, Virginia, the first Sunday in November, 1947, the thirty-five year old minister explained his opening statement to some of the Chinch j officers. "My paternal grand- lather, Kev. Krikor B. Kmurian, ! was a Protestant minister for over forty years in a little vil , lage in Asia Minor where my fa ther was born. A native of Ar ! k: r :i, he lived and labored i.:xih; his people during a long ( and fruitful ministry. Mother's grandlather on her mother's side, Rev. Alhrt (I.

Ernest had been writing hymns j off and on for several years, al though he had been rebuffed when he went to Princeton Sem- j inary in New Jersey after grad uating from the Union Theolog ical Seminary in Richmond, Vir ginia, in 1934. His faculty ad visor had looked askance at him when he said, "I want to learn how to write hymns," as if to imply, "Who do you think you are? Ray Palmer or Reginald Heber?" But, undaunted, he had merely postponed his writing for two years.

"The building is such a pathet ic sight," he told a brother min ister, "that it is a disgrace to our denomination as well as to that congregation." The older minis- I ter smiled, put his arm around , the younger man and said, "Er I nest, never judge a church unti you know the people. The church is not a building, it is a congre gation. Learn to love them be fore you say anything critical about their building." The new pastor hardly knew what to say, but he resolevd to make the best of the opportunity after a happy and progressive ministry of six years in his for mer charge. His father, Rev. S. K. Emurian, veteran church build er for more than half a century, counselled patience and caution as the son entered upon his new re sponsibilities. But a brother Methodist advised, "If you can get the place packed to the raf ters the first few weeks, they will have to build, so go down there and do it!" The parsonage fam ily moved in the night before Halowe'en, and when the neigh borbood kids went en their "Trick or Treat" rounds the next night, he turned the tables on them by entertaining them with some sleight-of-hand tricks. As they left, he said, "If you have at least twenty-five kids under twelve at church Sunday night, 111 show you some more magic." Within four weeks, the night congrega tion crowded the tiny building to capacity. And, although he had promised his wife and parents that he would "take it easy" that first year, Ernest felt thai' this was the time to advance. "It is now or never," he said to hie peo- plekAct- V--'. : f The Building i ;' Committee ' met the first week in December, and, in spite of the fact that there was less than thirty-thousand dollars In the "building fund, they - voted , tinstmously- to proceed with V, ' ereulon of a ejacioua Sew Sane-: tory, in accordance with plans list thy had been perfectlrj t' rc S the years.

"I plan to write a hymn to be sung to the tune 'Aurelia'," ua v.; m i 14 ..

Roberts attended Walnut High School. 1953, in recognition of his con tributions to many phases of the city's life. The new hymn was widely used following its publication in the columns of "The Pulpit," but it did not appear in a major hym- the Son, next to the Holy Spirit, and finally to all three persons in the Trinity." With that in mind, he began to write: We dedicate this temple, O Fa ther, unto Thee, The God of ancient ages And ages yet to be; That here our hearts may worship And here our songs ascend Pn loving adoration And praise that knows no end. The new hymn was sung at the opening services in the handsome new church on Easter of 1949 and again when the structure was dedicated free of debt on Easter of 1961. Since then a new par sonage has been built and paid for, an educational annex pur chased and - equipped and the church has taken on new life in every department, becoming a vi tal factor in the religious and cultural life of the city. The pas tor was honored by being chosen fortamouth's "First CRixen" in j published in October, 1955. Mean while, the author had written sev eral volumes of religious plays and pageants, as well as drama tizations of hymn stories for church dramatic guilds and clubs. The third edition of a booklet con taining fifteen of his original hymns and tunes was published in 1953, and another hymn, "O God whose voice is in the wind," commissioned for the dedication of the million-dollar Protestant Radio and Television Center, on the campus of Emory University, Georgia, was sung there for the first time in February of 1955. In his own words, "The provi dence of God over-ruled our own plans when we came here, but had it not been for these experiences, I probably would never have writ ten what may become my only enduringOiyma. If a minister is privileged to write one hymn that is accepted by the Church, his life and ministry are eminently worthwhile , SMALL FARMS, OIHLU r"KOf tKIT FOt SALE 9 One 15-aore Jfarm and house (needs repairing) ' Located in Flat Creek section. - .5 acre tobacco. 15 acres on edge of Mars Hill City limits; High, cultivation ) f ite-room house, practically new ; barn ; i Joins Hammarlund Manufacturing" Co. .
