A Pastor's Letter JVIy dear Editor: I would appreciate very much i you will allow me space in your val 1 uable paper for this letter. I an writing it because 1 think it would b< of interest to some of your reader: and also because it will give me ai opportunity to make a Oriel rev.cv of my labors in the pastorate com posed of the two churches, Holy Trin ity, Newberry county, and Macedonia H. Lexington county. The former churcl t; is located in the town of Little Moun f tain, the latter, nine miles from here down on Saluda river, about nin< miles from the town of Chapin. When the call from this pastorat< k came to us we were in North Carolina r six miles from Concord ami thrct miles from Mt. Pleasant, serving i large country congregation. This congregation has as tine a church a; ^ can be found anywhere in the country. To say that the church work was a pleasure to me and those people responsive and appreciative hardlj expresses it by half. "Well, the call came and with it ar opportunity to return to old South v> Carolina, the state of our nativity We acccpted the call and began worl + >??> nf .Tulv. 1912. We were not in this work very Ion; until we began to feel at home, for we soon saw that the lines had fallen tc us in pleasant places and that we ha< ?. a goodly heritage. We were greetei by a large congregation each Lord'.' day and are still favored by the same No pastor can refrain from doing hi; best when he has so much encourage ment and stimulation. Shortly after beginning this worl n.A Koiran ahrmt hnild!ns? a nev nc WW %?~ 0 _ f Macedonia church. The reason tha prompted this was two-fold: First, tht old church was no longer adequate L due to the fact 4[*at the membershij ^ was forcibly growing; secondly, th< people were ready for it and had th< money to invest in such and were rea dy to do so. The material of whicl the church is built is of the very bes and the contract was let to Mr. W. T Livingston of the city of Newberry The church cost $3,000.00, materia and erection. Then the congregation to a mai said, we must have new and moderi furnishings.* The amount of $800.01 was soon raised and the contract wa i given to the American Seating com ?* jiany. When this was done the con ' gregation said, our church must b< namte-d. The amount necessary to di tlu^- was soon raised and our ne\ church was soon clothed in a beautifu white garment. ^ Shortly after this the church wa dedicated, the pastor being assistei by Dr. W. H: Greever and Dr. J. W Horine. That was a great day, . happy occasion and one that will nev er be forgotten by the good peopl of this church and community. Hardly had the pastor time to tak a long breath, when the Holy Trinit; congregation began to talk "ne.\ V. church." Well, of course, the pasto } was ready to work again along sue! lines. The congregation unanimousl; voted for a new church building, an immediately tie necessary committee were appointed and began the faithfu discharge nf their duties. The cor X tract was let to Mr. Jas. Cannon o Columbia. The work of erection wa soon begun and at the proper tim was completed at a cost of $12,00C Then, as in the case of the other con gregauuu, uiese pcu_[;ic saiu, ?c have new church furnishings. Th< L amount of . $1,600 was raised am t same was purchased of the America] :Y Seating company. Later, the congre W gation had the church beautifull; | lighted at a cost of $500.00 ' Then L. is a small debt resting on our churcl which we hope will soon be removed then this church will be dedicated This would have already been don< | had not "the "harcf times" struck us. * During the nine and a half year: * *? l A: i *i 4 j IB tnis worK we nave Dspuzeu i*children and 4 adults, confirmed 11 \ ^ children and three adults, received bi p letters of transfer 96; performed th< W marriage ceremony for couples f peformed the burial service 36 limes held 114 council meetings; mad* 4,120 pastoral calls; traveled not les: than 36,000 miles in meeting preach ^ ing appointments and doing pastora work; preached 754 sermons and mad< number of short addresses pertaining to the church and Christia.i living. Our people in both congregationhave attended the services of the ^ church as well as one could reasonably expect, many of them never mis.<i:i| unless unavoidably detained. They have responded to a verj gratifying degree to all the appeal; of the church both locally and genr.r ally.
