rank of captain, he and his family
came to Farmvjlle during the Easter
seapon, 1946, and he has taken his
plaee in the long line of distinguish
ed pastors who have served the
church and the community.
The following history of the Farm
ville church was written by C. C.
Ware and ftmiahed the_ historical
background for a year book'issued in
1942 by the late Rev. C. B. Mash
bum.
. ■„ In 1864 when only a store and
blacksmith shop stood-on the site of
the present Farmville, N. C., a third
building was erected called the Anti*
och Christian Ch”Teh. The church
site, an acre, was at the crossroads
between Marlboro and Joyner’s
Crossroads. It was almost twenty
years before the town of Farmville,
buHded around Antioch Church, was
Pld Antioch had its actual origin
at f^son’s Meeting House, located a
tew miles east of Farmville near the
present Arthur. John P. Dunn, of
Lenoir county, an outstanding native
evangelist of the Disciples, held a re
vival at Tyson's Meeting House, be
ginning November 2, 1850. The meet
ing resulted in 123 baptisms. Alfred
Moye, a prominent Disciple and citi
zen of the community, wrote his son
Moses Tyson Moye, then at Bethany
College, about this meeting, and said
it eras a season of great revivals.

ARCHITECTS DRAWING OF IMPROVED CHURCH
This drawing shows exterior improvements made to the Farm*
ville Christian Church which Sunday will hold a special dedicatory
service, dedicating not only the renovated building "but several
memorial gifts given jn memory of former members.
an order had arisen oalled Sons of
Temperance to avert the rising tide
of alcoholic drink. Less than a dozen
of Tyson’s members took the position
that Unrestrained use of strong drink
was a Christian’s inviolable privilege,
to be defended by exclusion from the
church of the Sons of Temperance
who were of contrary opinion. They
would make it a test of fellowship.
They wished to form an organiza
tion under the title . of “Old-side
Apostolic Christian Church,” of
which one of the tenets should be:
“No Son of Temperance is to be ad
mitted as a member of this church.”
The Disciples never recognized this
“Old-side Apostolic Church" in any
of their State meetings; in fact, their
divisive idea never became an issue
Within the Disciples cooperative cir
cle.
With a reduced fellowship and dis
sension'-Over temperance in the air at
Tysons, it was desirable that & new
4te be found. James W. May own
ed much land at the crossroads which
became Farmville. On December 21,
1864, he deeded one acre to the Anti
och “Christian .Babtist” Church, “to
£ave and to hold. . . in fee.simple. . .
to occupy, use, and enjoy said Church
as a house of Christian worship for
the worship of Almighty God. The
aw nr in o 1
1910, when it was sold to Negroes
and the present brick plant of out
Parnjville Church was dedicated.
In 1854, at the Disciples' State
Meeting, James W. May, Sherrod
Belcher, and S. Stancill represented
Antioch Church, and reported an en<
rolled membership of 95, there hav
ing been ohe death during the year,
This accounts in full for’ the 96 mem
bers which the Disciples had left
after the dissension at Tyson’s, and
it. was not considered as a new churcl)
at the Disciples’ State Meeting oi
1854, but it was enrolled .under th«
new name of Antioch.
Josephus Latham, a strong advo
cate of temperance; was the first An
tioch pastor, and held her first re
vival, beginning on Saturday, Sep
tember 8, 1855. He said the reviva
continued for several days and re
suited in fourteen baptism#—“a good
ly number of whom were lovelj
young ladies, two of whom were na
tives of Maine, who had bidden fare
well to the loved ones at home am
had-come to the far ‘Sunny South’ fa

guide these dear young convert
through tip# waste-howling wilder
ness to the haven of sweet repose."

The next 12 months, should bring
record-breaking United States pro
duction and perhaps an ebb in tile
tide of rising prices, the Govern
ment's top economist reported sever
al days ago. »
“Given a fair crop year, there’s a
distinct possibility that 1948 will see
an dbatement of inflation,” said Dr.
Edwin G. Nourse, chairman of the
President's CVAmcil of Economic Ad
visers.
The three jpajor influences an the1
economic pulse during the next year,
Dr. Nourse told a reporter in Wash
ington, probably can be lifted in this
order:
1. The Weather—If wheat, -oom
and other crops escape the drought
which cut last year's harvest, food
costs could lead the way to more
stable prices.
2. Labor Relations — A “third
round" of sizable wage increases, or
a new wave of strikes curtailing pro
duction, could heighten inflationary
pressures.
8. Foreign Aid — Depending on
how much help is voted for European
recovery, exports ..could make some
existing shortages more critical. The
Council already has advocated Feder
al controls to keep the scarcity of
certain products, including steel and
grain, from setting off a further, in
flationary spin.
Congress thus far has authorized
orfly igpluntary agreements by busi
ness, agriculture, and industry to
divide scarce goods. This is a pro
vision of the Republican anti-infla
tion bill, which Mr. Truman signed
this week. ” ' "
As for the No. 1 factor, weather,
the Agriculture Department had good
news Jast week. Its winter wheat
forecast indicated another "bumper”
crop—more than one billion bushels
—may be harvested. It would not ex
ceed last year’s, but if Europe has
better weather, the export demand
will be lower. ■»
As for goods and services, the na
tion’s production rose in 1947, Dr.
Nourse- pointed out, and can be ex
pected to rise further. He gave no
figures,, since these will be included
in Hr. Truman’s economic message to
Congress.
Employment topped the sought
after “60,000,000 jobs” and, accord
ing to the United States Employment
Service, may go higher in 1948. As
1947 closed, joblessness was at a post
war low of 1,600,000.
