Atteadaaea.
The ninety-ninth aunnol se»
■ion of the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian Synod of the Sooth
convened yesterday afternoon at
Pisgab charch near All Healing.
The session was to have been
called to order at 10 a. m. yes
terday but the hour was changed
to allow the members to attend
the funeral of Dr. Boyce in a
body.
Rev. J. W. Baird, of Cotton
Plant, Miss., the incomiug
moderator, is presiding over the
sessions of the Synod. This
Synod , extends over several
Southern States, comprising 9
Presbyteries, 136 churches, 103
ministers and representing a
membership of 12,000.
The opening sermon was
preached at 2 o’clock yesterday
afternoon by Rev. R. If. Ste
venson. After tbe sermon un
finished business was taken up
and under this head the roll was
made out and the various com
mittees appointed. The session
was thus consumed in making
preparations for active business
which begins this morning.
At 7:30 o’clock loot night
Rev. G. G. Parkinson, a stu
dent at the Brskine theological
seminary, preached for tlie Svn
od.
There will be three cervices
each day, morning, afternoon,
and night. Preaching services
will be at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p.
m. with a business session each
time. A large number of minis
ters and laymen are in attend
ance and the session promises
to be s most pleasant and suc
cessful one.
Skslch el Filial.
Hr» A. T. LtsdWT is A. SL Srssbrttriu.
Mr. Sparrow, of Bethany con
gregation, owns the property on
the old Montgomery place where
stands to-day some corner rock
that he points to as marking the
original and very first spot where
Psalm-singers of all the region
abont lungs and Crowders
Mountain met and organized
and held atated worship. The
ancestors of the Oates snA
Loves and Montgomeries and
Blackwoods and Fergusons and
McElwees, all centered on this
spot, and had a house of some
sort that has disappeared with
only these corner rocks remain
ing. All that is known of that
is the fact that it did exist
previous to spy other, and from
it sprang all others that can be
mote distinctly pointed ont as
the original of Pisgah and
Bethany and other organizations
now constituting flourishing
churches in the surrounding
country. It is known that Pi£
gab and Bethany for many years
formed one pastoral charge: bat
as to the exact date of the
organization of either, the writer
cannot testify. That U took
place far back in the 17th
century we have good reasons to
believe.
Jnst who was the first pastor
of Pisgah we esnnot tell; perhaps
the old church records would
give some light on that matter.
The first pastor that the rec
ords in hand make any mention
of was Dr. R. C. Grier, who
served Pisgah and Bethany until
elected by the Synod to the
presidency of Brskine Theologi
cal Seminary some time in the
forties. After the removal of
Dr. Grier there was no pastoral
relation formed for some time,
WHBBBgBWP———nW—■
or until the arrival of Dr, E. H.
Boyce in the year 1840. Dr.
Boyce preached in theejd church
called Old Pisgali. three miles
from the present church, until
in the year of 1856, wheu the
present house of worship was
completed. We might state here
that the last sermon in the old
church waa by Dr. Boyce, from
the text: Numbers 10:35, 38,
. . . "And when it rested. He
said. Return O Lord onto the
many thbosauds of Israel.”
Quoting Dr. Boyce, Dec. 23,
1855, this sermon waa preached
goodby-final to the place, of
which I read in an old manu
script—"Win. Dickson ordained
June 5, 1797. after giving a
lecture on Heb. 5:53, by the
Rev. James Rodgers. Morning
Psalm explained by Rev.
William Blackstockij sermon
preached by Rev. Peter kfc
Millcn. This took place at
Sharon meeting-house, which
was then one charge with Pisgah
and Bethany. The ministry of
William Dickson in these parts
extends beyond this, reaching
back into 1700." This perhaps
gives some light on the matter
before mentioned as to the early
pastor of Pisgah.
isr. ooyce continued to tbe
same field from 1849 until 1883,
preaching his last sermon tbe
last Sabbath of December of that
year. Then Dr. J. C. Galloway
entered upon bis work in this
field, preaching his first sermon
the let Sabbath of January, 1884.
Dr. Galloway remained with Pis
gah nntill tbc Pall of 1900, when
Gastonia, which formed a part
of tbe same charge with Pisgah
called him for the whole of his
time. Pisgah was without a
pastor for dgbt months of 1901.
The present pastor, Rev. A. T.
Lindsey, came to them as supply
the 1st Sabbath of July, 1901,
and was ordained and installed
pastor the 27th of September,
1901. ?
This is one of the oldest con
gregations in the Synod, and one
that has contributed largely to
tbe membership of tbe surround
ing congregations as well as to
some of the churches west of
the Mississippi. Although her
membership nas been thinned
from time to time she now has
231. Her children are rising up to
call her blessed; and year, by year
numbers of them are coming in
to tbe Chnrch to cany on the
work begun by the fathers dead
long ago._
