He had been in feeble health for the past several years, and the ead was 1 inot unexpected. Dr. MaClintock was a man of whom it may be truthfully said that he was loved and respected by all who kne* him. His life was a life of service. Shortly after the War Between the States, he began his preparation for the ministry, and he devoted the fine energies of an active and .consecrated life to labor in the vineyard of his Master. ~ ~ ~ ~ '1 MotoMi or;wsi .. .. ... a~ 1: .Newberry, and it was not confined to*!, the bounds of his own congregation.i Wherever there was sorrow of whichi he knew he was ready with words of!

He loved Newberry and her people, and he loved South Carolina and the South.

For thirty-five years Dr. McClin tock was pastor of Thompson Streetj] A. R. P. church, this city, having re signed about four years ago on ac-1 count of his health. Since that tigne he had lived at his home in Newher ry, knowing that the end of his la bors was near, and yet directing his energies to the good which 'he might do before the final summons came.

Following the war, in 186'7, he en tered Erskine -Seminary, having pre viously connected with the Second Presbytery as a student of theology at Bethel, his former church.

In 1883 he gave ip King's Creek church, and moved o Newberry and devoted his time to ;he Thompson Street church. During his ministry the Thompson street church grew in grace and in iuwoers and strength. When Dr. A,eClintock first came to Newberry here were only eight or ten mem nrs.
