*"* Sabbatb of December. 1850, more
Jban 40 years ago. Balog now la my
TOtli year. I am probably ibe oldmt
as-paatnr In this part of Xorth Caro
lina. At that time tbs Bar. Dr. Sam
ple went to '.be academy at Coddle
Crsak ebon*, a ear wtrieb 1 now lira
wall my aow. B. W. Prsssly.
The writer preached at Contra the
fljrattima, while the venerable Father
McPherson was pastor there. The
writer preached one sermon and the
paator the other, as in those days the
Monday school bad not taken tha piece
of oae sermon. Though I have for
K^a.s:%jsrI,,ia a
the door and knock,” etc. 1 remem
ber distinctly a sulvdWlUnn of one
mala proposition wet, that “the door
was not only shat bet barred.** Be
then noticed the bare that kepi It from
opening—spiritual deadnsss, Ignorant*,
oaretrsanees about attend lag ohnreb
esrviem end other ordinances of God's
appointment, etc.
The Mlssaa Betd led the singing,
which waa considered very good for
that period, without an instrument.
If I remombsr correctly.
Another notable Item distinctly re
membered about that day Is, that the
Bev. Dr. Hail Morrison, the scholarly
and distinguished father of the wives
of (tamale “Stonewall” Jackson sad
D. H. HU1, wee present, though seam
ingty in very feeble health. This waa
at the time the oongrvgatloo wor
shipped In tbo old brisk ohursh build
iog erected a century ago. from the
wood of which the Bev. Dr. Pharr bad
gavels made which be preseated, et tbo
reoeet centennial, to the Mecklenburg
and Bethel Presbyterian.
Ever since Dr. W. XT. Pharr boarded
class to the writer as pastor of Centre
