An lerooLrgf Congregation Pres- ' ent. Several' hundred members of the First Presbyterian, Loray Presbyter lan, Associate -Reformed Presoyter- ian, Methodist and Lutheran church es gathered Sunday night at the First Presbyterian church to engage in a union farewell service complimentary to Rev.'R. C. Andersln, fbe retiring pastor. Ihe main auditorium, which .seats several hundred, was filled to its capacity and the Sunday scnooi rooms adjoining . were 'brought into requisition . ftev. G. D. Herman, pastor of Main Street Methodist church, presided over the exercises. .He read two ap propriate passages of Scripture, the 133rd Psalm and the latter part or me 20th chapter ofAcU. He then made a short address in which be discussed briefly the relation or pas tor and people. He said there were no faultless preachers- and no ideal churches. , If the church memoers would live xp to the standard' of re ligion preached by their pastors they woma be better church- memoers and better people than they usually are No pastor can do his duty and preach the truth without belng-unpopuiar with at least a portion of his con gregation; Christ, the world's great- eta preacher, was rewarded with crown of thorns and was exhibted upon a Roman Cross. John the Bap tist and Paul, the world s two great est preachers after Christ, were un popular, the former being rewarded by being beheaded and the latter with stonings and other persecutions. Jt Is the preacher's duty to preach tbe truth Regardless of popularity or un popularity. , , " ;: Rev. Dr. J. C. Galloway, paator or the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, was the next speaker, bis subject being , "Fraternalism Among tbe Churches." There are many rea sons, said Dr. Galloway, why tne var ious denominations should be on the closest terms of friendship and should practice fraternalism in their dealings' with each other. He did not attempt to give them all but. con fined himself to a discussion or- few of these. Fraternalism should prevail between the 'denominations because they all have a common peril and , a common enemy. Tbe devil and his angels are squarely op posed to tbem all and hence tney should stand ahoulder to shoulder in their fight against the evil one. An other reason advanced was because in eternity they have a common ues tlnation. All denominations must fraternise In eternity and so should be on close terms of friendship here Still another reason Is that we all serve a common Lord and Master. Twenty-live years ago, said tne speaker, a meeting like this would have been impossibleIn Gastonia or anywhere else almost. But tne world moves en. Denominations, realizing that tbey are working in a common cause, bave largely put away the petty denominational prejudices of the past and are working in har mony toward a common end. Rev. A. S. Anderson, pastor of the Loray Presbyterian church, was the next speaker. He said the subject assigned him was the history of tne church during the past six years. He bad decided to change the subject, however, as to follow it would e largely to indulge in an eulogy' of the retiring pastor and his people. Hence, instead, he devoted bis time to looking ahead for six years. Ev ery stone in a structure, said tne speaker, is but the foundation for another stone. The past six years' work of this church Is but the foun dation upon which that of tne next u u to be built. He referred to the fact that during the pastorate of Rev. R. C. Anderson nearly 500 peo ple had been received Into the church. These, he said, are not full grown Christians. Part of the work of the coming six years trill be to bring about the development ana ad vancement In Christian living of these; newly acquired members. This church, he recalled, has had a great deal to do with the 'building up or Westminster School and has in this line much to accomplish In the next six years. Much missionary worx, both local and foreign, has been un dertaken and this must be carried on Tbe congregation has given quite a number of young men to the minis try, some of then now at work, oth ers in the seminaries. Their welfare is to be looked after. Mr. Anderson's address was beard with no small de gree of Interest. Following these addresses Rev. R. C. Anderson, the retiring pastor of the First church, responded in a very happy manner. "He1 referred feelingly to his six years pastorate here and said that Gastonia and Gastonlans bad become strongly en shrined fn his heart. He does not expect to sever himself entirely from tbe town and church 'but expects to return as often as his labors will per mit. He bad reached bis decision to resign, he said, only after serious consideration and prayer. In tbe call to his aew position as president of the Mountain Retreat Association he saw a great opportunity for. doing a great work- for the .church and,. for tbe cause of Christ. He believed it his duty to make tbe change. -. . Rev. John.'

M. ; Simmons and Congressman, K. i Y. Wetrwhin Battle ; by Gaetoniat . and Shelby Companies - of ' State r Guard. ''.r -' 'With v flags and ' bunting every where in evidence with patriotic amotions permeating her every noox and corner and with a glad nana ex tended to welcome each ajid every one of the several thousand visitors who came to help her celebrate one of the greatest battles of the Revo lution, the historic town ot Kings Mountain on Saturday commemorat ed the one hundred and thirty-first anniversary of tbe famous battle of Kings Mountain. While hundreds of the descendants, of the brave "moun tain men,"-who defeated tne zmlisa under General Ferguson i October 7, 1780, together with thousands of others, listened to martial music, to matchless orations, to the noise of sham-battle guns and gazed at "Old Glory" as she waved In the mountain breezes, it did not require a far stretch of the imagination for one to conjure a smile of approval even up on the face of old Kings Mountain herself, tbe noble peak but a short distance away wheron the American patriots, the Shelbys, Sevlers, Cairv bells, McDowells and others fought and died and successfully so for tne freedom ot their adopted land. There was hardly one among the thousands present who did not feel a tinge of pride as he reverted to the part the pioneer mei of the Carolinas, Vir ginia and Tennessee played in this decisive battle in the struggle ror American independence. For weeks the good people 6f the town of Kings Mountain had been making elaborate preparations for this event. Tbey did not plan In vain.' Cleveland, Gaston,' Lincoln, York, Cherokee and many other counties in this section of the caro linas were well represented. Special ratjps were given by the railroads and all incoming trains Friday night and Saturday morning brought large crowds of people. In the .early morning hours wagons, buggies and automobiles began pouring in from all directions. Promptly at 10 o'clock the proces sion formed in front of the Mountain View hotel the line of march being from there to the new public scnooi building. It was headed by two bands and was composed of Confed erate veterans, two companies of State Guards, the Gaston and Cleve land companies, and many citizens. - Arriving at the school house the formal program was opened with prayer following which Hon. O. F. Mason, of Gastonia, in a short speecn which brought forth , prolonged applause, Introduced Senator F. M. Simmons. The speaking was begun in the open, the speaker standing on the porch so that as many as possible of the vast crowd could hear. The intense heat and glare, however soon drove the speakers and as many of the hearers as could be accommodat ed, into the auditorium, (senator Simmons reviewed the battle of Kings Mountain comprehensively. speaking from manuscript which the had evidently prepared with great care 'and historical accuracy. Passing briefly over the events which preced ed and led up to the battle he de scribed minutely the struggle which took place on the mountain height nearby where the British met de feat after a hard fight at the nanus of the determined Americans The closing part of his speech tne Senator devoted to a general review of the long and eventful struggle of tbe colonists for freedom from op pression 'by the mother country. He told of the barriers surmounted, of the difficulties overcome, of the in domitable spirit born of a love for liberty and fostered In the broad free expanse of the American fron tiers which would not admit of de feat. His address was a magnificent one both for its historical value and for the manner in which it was de livered. Tne, . auditorium, which seats about seven hundred, was fill ed and everybody heard Mr. Sim mons with pleasure and profit. When Congressman Yates Webb was presented to the audience he was given an ovation. There were mlgnty few If any in all the crowd who had nott heard the brilliant young con gressman before but they were all anxious to hear htm again.. He was on bis native heath and the demon strative welcome accorded him prov ed tne ranacy or tne saying that a prophet is not without honor save In bis own country." ' No man is nearer the hearts of his people than Yates Webb. , He has represented them for. eight' years in the lower house of congress and the manner In which be bag done so has won for him the love and esteem of the big gest part of all the people in the ninth district. Mr. Webb's address dealt with the problems which have arisen since the thirteen colonies won their Inde pendence. Many and varied prob lems undreamed of then have arisen to be solved and it develops upon the people of this present day to solve them and solve them right. His speech was largely a plea to the people, not to let the passion ror money and power and honor blind them to their duty In these times of political and social unrest. He was applauded repeatedly and vocirer ously and bis hearers Ngave him all the attention any speaker could wish. v - -V .- At the. conclusion of the speaking shook hands with the' retiring' pas tor and wished for him all the. suc cess he could possibly hope for in his sew field of labof...

He was-' -painfully aware of his short-comings "y in realizing the ideal, yet God's ' blessing had attended his efforts. When he came to Gastonia about six years ago, he found something; . less than four hundred names on ttt roll of the Presbyterian church in the town. Since that time 528 nave been received into the church, 199 on profession of faith, the others by ' letter. He has baptized 189. The Loray church, which is really the Second church of Gastonia, of . which Rev. A. S. Anderson is the eft ficient pastor, was organized and the building erected by the First churcn. and in the two churches today there are something over 800 names on tne roll, 640 of these belonging to the First church. In other words tne membership of the Presbyterian churcb in Gastonia Is a little over, double what It was six years ago. " A beautiful manse has been erect ed at a cost of about $5,000. The average annual contribution of the church for the last six years has been between $7,000 and $8,000" neaily double the annual contribu tion, Immediately preceding the clos ing pastorate. Two young men have graduated at Union Theological Seminary and are now doing efficient work in the minis try. Four other promising young; men, members of this church, are candidates for the ministry and two young ladies have volunteered for tbe foreign mission work. A men's Bible class with a mem bership of about 75 was organized and taught by the pastor during tne last five years, and a women's Bible class of about 50 was organized and taught for the last two years by Mrs. v Anderson. There was one Presbyter Ian Sabbath school in tbe town srx years ago; there are six well organ ized and live Sabbath schools in the town today, five of which are con ducted under the direction of tho, First church. Through the lnstrmentality of tho pastor, an evangelistic tent worK was inaugurated which was later , adopted by Presbytery, out of wblchv four churches have been organized, and three attractive church build ings have been erected besides tno : vast amount of good done within too bounds of other churches. With the pastor a committee ot one, appointed by Presbyterial Homo Mission Committee, a church at Cliff side has been organized and a church building erected, the total cost off which is approximately $2,000. Bat perhaps tbe best and most lasting: service rendered to the Presbytery and church at large, was the servieo rendered to Westminster School. ' which has made great progress and . today is in most excellent condition ; This school would do credit to any Presbytery. The First church today is left tn sv most harmonious and thoroughly or ganized condition. The paator doe not claim tbe credit for these things, for the work has been done by the church through the blessing of God,' and it is tbe prayer of the retiring; under-sbepherd that the churcb may - continue the good work -which too Lord has enabled it to do in the past.
