Dr. Wall, A Great Leader
And Outstanding Minister
For three and one-half years Dr. |
Zeno Wall has lead the church j
through the most telling period of j
her history. There have been many J
mile-stones along the pathway of:
experiences during the period, but \
the greatest outstanding mark of j
progress has Keen the erection of i
the building, which lias entailed
responsibility and required wise I
leadership, tor the past year and j
a half—the first demanding fine
business sagacity and spiritual fer
vor in preparing the people for the
task, and the second in which was
demonstrated marked skill in di
recting the details during the con
struction period.
Throughout the entire program,
Dr. Wall has kept U„ie membership
w arm with a sense of deep spiritual
ity, even though the membership
has been worshipping outside the
church building. He has often re
peated: ‘'There are three things
for which I have been praying and
which I want to see during my
lifetime: A wonderful auditorium
and educational plant where peo
ple will be led to Christ, a success
ful Christian Junior college at Boil
ing Springs and a revival in Shelby
and community.’’ He has lived to
see two of these wishes come to be
a realization and already signs
point toward a sweeping revival of
religion In our town and community
in the near future.
486 Added To Church.
Since Dr. Wall came to the
church, October 1, 1925. just three
and one-half years ago. 486 peo
ple have united with the church by
letter and profession of faith in
Christ It is interesting to note
that he has performed 44 marriage
ceremonies during the period and
held approximately 300 funerals. He
has walked with the people through
sorrow and tragedies. Perhaps his
greatest work has been in visiting
the hospital, calling in the homes
where sorrow reigned, and burying
the dead. He has preached and
conducted funerals in almost every
church in the King's Mountain as
sociation.
Three Outstanding Milestones.
Three outstanding milestones
during Dr. Wall's pastorate in
Shelby have been the three great
and marvelous meetings which he
led: First, the revival meeting held
tinder a tent in South Shelby in
which Rev. Rush Padgett, the
Baptist pastor in South Shelby co
operated. This meeting was held
in May, 1926, soon after Dr. Wall’s
arrival. Scores of souls were saved
and many hundreds of people re
quested prayer. In that same year
on Thanksgiving Day the second
great meeting was held at the fair
grounds. Here hundreds of people
front all vocations in life gathered
to pay thanksgiving and praise to
Almighty God for the. many signal
favors during the past, year. The
third meeting followed in June.
1927, when Dr. Scarborough, of the
Southwestern Theological seminary,
of Fort Worth, Texas, came and
preached in a tabernacle on the
vacant lot where now stands the
commodious educational building.
In this meeting scores of people
reconsecrated themselves and a
gTeat number were led to Christ.
What a fitting beginning on the
lot which was destined to be utiliz
ed as it la today I
While marvelous progress has
been realized in the local field, the
missionary zeal has not lessened.
The church now stands fourth in
North Carolina among other Bap
tist churches in gifts to missions
and Dr. Wall says that with the en
larged program there is no rea
son why the church should not
move up nearer the first place in
North Carol'iin.
Former Pastorate.
Previous to coming to Shelby, Dr.
Wall held long and successful pas
torates in several of the outstand
ing fields in the Southern Baptist
convention. Among the fields are.
his long pastorale at Mississippi
college, Clinton, Miss.. First Bap
tist church, Columbia, Miss., and
First Baptist church. Goldsboro,
where he did a successful work be
fore coming to Shelby. He Is much
in demand by the chinches, col
leges. Theological Seminaries and
summer encampments for special
addresses and evangelistic meetings,
having spoken at the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary,
Louisville, Ky.. Baptist Bible Insti
tute, New Orleans. Meredith col
lege, Raleigh and in a great num
ber of other institutions. However
it is not conceded that he has yet
reached his zenith. A resume ot
the past and the prospects for the
future, encourage both pastor and
people to ieel that the greatest days
of reaping for Christ and His K.ng
dom lie in the future Only time
will tell what fruitage will result
from the efforts, vision and sacri
fice of both pastor and people in
this great field.
