Work of Rev. Dr. J. B. Mack For Southorn Presbytorlonlsm Tuesday morning The State printed an interesting article? particularly interesting to the people of this section?about the work of Rev. Dr. J. B. Mack in the Southern Presbyterian ministry. The article was written, presumably, by William Banks and is, in part, as follows: Rev. Joseph Bingham Mack, L). D., of Atlanta, Ga., will, in June of 1911, celebrate the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the Presbyterian ministry. Within that time he has raised an endowment fund for Davidson college, likewise for the Columbia Theological seminary, and has organized 100 churches, and has assisted in raising money for over 53 substantial church buildings. He has given a son to the ministry. Rev. Edward Mack, D. D., of the faculty of Lane Theological seminary, Cincinnati, and 100 young men, converted under his preaching, have become ministers, even unto the second generation. Dr. Mack was also a distinguished pastor as well as an evangelist, his first charge having been in the city of his birth, Columbia, Tenn. Later he was pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Columbia, S. C. Dr. Mack thinks that he is the oldest preacher of?but not in? the Southern Presbyterian church. In other words he thinks that he is the first preacher regularly ordained after the Southern church seceded in 1861. There are others older in years. The Southern Presbyterian church was organized in Augusta, Ga., December 4, 1861. Rev. B. M. Palmer, D. D., was the moderator and the first Rev. J. H. Thorn well, D. D., was the floor leader. At that time Dr. Mack was a graduate of the Columbia Theological seminary, his class, that of 1861, having numbered 21. Quite a number of Dr. Mack's classmates were regularly ordained at the fall meeting of Presbyterians in 1861, but he did not receive ordination until July following; for the reason that the church which had elected him pastor was in mourning for six months for the former pastor. Therefore it was not until after the Presbyterians of the South had organized their own church in the Confederate States that he was ordained, and he has been informed that he is the first. After the war the finances of the Columbia Theological seminary were in a low state. Dr. Mack was pastor of the First church in Columbia. His plan for raising an endowment was adopted and he was called to become the financial agent of the seminary. His efforts were successful and the income of the seminary was raised to more than f" vii*5 men iciiuucu liKure. Dr. Mack has been preaching over half a century, although not ordained for quite that length of time, and he will preach his 50th anniversary sermon in the first church of which he was pastor, in the home of his youth, Columbia, Tenn. He will then retire from the active ministry to his farm near Fort Mill, in York county, where he will give himself over to study and writing. Dr. Mack was a virile participant in some of the most exciting passages in church history, a period which he is grateful to spy is rapidly passing from the hearts and memories of the peoyle of the Southern church. His has been an interesting life, a student under Howe, Thornwell, Adger and Leland, and a resident of Columbia in the days when this city was the seat of the uprising leading to the secession of South Carolina from the Union; he was a chaplain of a cavalry regiment; a successful pastor; and a remarkable field agent and evangelist.
