j Good will, kindness and open-hand
' ed generosity are the spices used to
make life sweet and this old world
I
a happy place in which to dwell.
I The Second Presbytery of the
R. P. Synod of the South has sent
1 me here until the meeting of Synod
* in May with orders to build and
".equip McCormick A. R. T. Church.
\The funds for this purpose are to
be raised by voluntary contributions
!from every source available . The
first soliciting began here at McCormick
and the list of contributors who
; nave paid that we are submitting to
' you, is indicative of a royal gooi
|feeling and a warm welcome received
from the good people of this wide
awake and growing town to the new
'A. R. P. Church soon to be organized
'(here.
, The responses from all over Synod
.have been fully as hearty as those
I from your own town. But a single
tjgift comes from Abbeville, S. C.
r|that has put real "ginger and pep"
t j in the game. Dr. G. E. Calvert senl
^ | the A. R. P. Church at McCormick s
r'check fcr $1500.00 with the under
r standing that the balance of the
funds needed to complete the jot
.will b^ raised within sixty days. Thi:
i
challenge is open to all who love toj
see a worthy cause succeed. .
A modest but handsome brick-ve-j
neer building costing about $150U.-j
100 will soon be completed and will I
! be, not only architecturally an orna-l
Imeiit to the town but the public j
jhome for a spiritual and moral force
j that we trust, in the providence of
I God, will yield a power for good in
,the entire community.
As this organization is soon to be
effected, we wish to serve this pubj
lie notice; to all those who-desire j
io become Charter Member* of tno j
'first Associate Reformed Presbyjterian
Church of McCormick, >end
in your names to me, or some other
interested member of our local buiHing
committee, Mr. Jno. Bradley, Mr.
Robt. S. Owens, Mr. Jno. Kennedy,
or the treasurer of this committee,
Mr. Robt. L. Dendy. Your continued
support, sympathy a;nl interest is
cordially solicited. Wo ?1ill need

DR. CALVERT HELPS OUT j
'McCormick Messenger. j
Dr. G E. Calvert of Abbeville, S. j
IC-, has made a donation of $1500.00 ,
! to the McCormick A. R. P. church j
i building with the understanding that 1
! the balance necessary to complete J
the building be raised within sixty
days. It is estimated that it will take
from $7500.00 to $8000.00 not including
a balance of $7000.00 still
/due from the Church Extension Fund
to build the church and this amount
| does not include the cost of fixtures.
How many will follow the example
; set by Dr. Calvert and help us to full-fill
fViP nhlicntinn which we have as-1
jsumed in accepting his liberal donation?
This contribution came at a
jtime when the Building Committee
,was sorely pressed for funds and has
!transformed a feeling of depression
and discouragement to one of enthusiastic
hope and confidence. We ;
must raise'this balance within the
'sixty days.
