REV. JOSEPH BINGHAM MACK
! HAS PASSED TO HIS REWARD
Friday night at 9 o'clock Rev.
Dr. James Bingham Mack, on<
of the most able and widely
known ministers of the Southerr
Presbyterian church died suddenly
at his home on East Con!
federate street, this city. Dr,
Mack had been in failing health
for more than a year, and while
it was known that he was daily
growing weaker, his family and
most intimate friends did not
; realize that the end was so near,
I and his sudden passing was i
great shock to all. With him ir
the end were his wife and children,
with the exception of twc
sons, Col. William Mack anc
Harry Mack, of New York city.
Dr. Mack was conscious up to a
few moments before his death,
and the passing was like unt<
one falling asleep, a triumph oi
death through the religion ht
professed.
Dr. Mack was a native of New
York State, having been born
there in 1838, but his parents
moved South in his infancy, locating
first at Knoxville and
latef moving to Columbia. He
was licensed to preach in 186(1
and few men of the church have
been permitted to serve longer
and more successfully in the
cause of Christ. It is upon
record that during his fifty-one
years in the ministry Dr. Mack
was instrumental in the organization
of one hundred churches
in this and adjoining States. He
was the moving spirit in the
erection of more than sixty-five
houses of worship, had induced
more than one hundred young
- *- I
men to enter tne ministry, anu
during the years of his service
had received into the church
more than eight thousand souls.
This is indeed a remarkable record
and one that has been attained
by but few ministers of
the Southern church. Dr. Mack
was classed as one and the last
of the set of great Presbyterian
divines known as "the giants:"
Thornwell, Miller, Gireaudeau,
Mack.
The funeral service was held
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in
the Fort Mill Presbyterian
church, the Rev. George A.
Blackburn, of Columbia, having
charge, 'l he church was crowded
to overflowing with people of
all ages and sects who wished to
pay respect to the memory of the
beloved minister. The pallbearers
were his sons, Messrs.
William and Harry Mack, of
New York, Edward Mack, of
Cincinnnati, Murray Mack, and
W. B. Ardrey, son-in-law, and
Joe Belkyigrandson, of Fort Mill.
In his remarks, Dr. Blackburn
painted a beautiful word-picture
of the life, work and passing of
this great man. Dr. Blackburn
said among other things he felt
that it would have been the wish
of the deceased that he make an
appeal over his coffin to the unsaved.
His remarks were uj>on
death, which was the penalty of
a broken law to the unsaved, but
* .? m
only a sweet sleep to tne unristian.
Dr. Blackburn drew a
graphic picture of the outstretched
arms welcoming to the
heavenly home the soul of the
incoming pastor and evangelistwelcoming
him to the eternal
habitations, "for," said he, "the
Scriptures authorize us to imagine
such a scene, as heaven is not a
place of insensibility. Therefore
our hearts are not sad. for
we realize that our deceased
brother is but asleep."
The burial was made in the
family plot at the Fort Mill
cemetery.
Joseph Bingham Mack was
born in New York State in 183?
and was in his 74th year. He
got hia collegiate education at
Jackson College, Tenn., taking
the B. A. decree 1854. He was
a Presbyterian by birth anc
tradition. Soon after his graduation
he determined to enter th(
ministry. He entered Columbia
Theological Seminary.
June, 1860, he was licensed t(
preach by the Presbytery ol
Maury, and was ordained Janu
ary '62, by the Presbytery ol
Harmony.
He served as chaplain in th<
Confederate army from '63-'65,
In his devotion to the cause ol
the South, in his loyalty to his
State and the issues for which
she fought, not even Arnolc
DeWelles Miller was more ardently
a Confederate.
In 1867 Dr. Mack becamt
pastor of Zion church, Charles
C r u'hiph phurrh hf
LUI I , kjt V/ f *' IllVil V?l M* V?a ><
I served until 1869.
He became evangelist of Charleston
Presbytery 1870.
From 1871 to '75 he was pastoi
of Rocky River (N. C.) church.
He became pastor of the churcl
at Fort Mill in 1876, remaining
as such for a year. From 187$
to '81 he was pastor of the Firs
Presbyterian church in Columbia
He then became financial mana
ger of the Columbia Theologica
Seminary and Davidson College
N. C., in 1881, remaining a:
such until '88. He becamt
evangeiist of Fayetteville Pres
bytery '89, evangelist for tht
Synod of Georgia in 1890, ant
> had continued so up to the tinn
of his death. He was a man o
great brain?a deep theologiai
i and a scholar. He was un
compromisingly a Presbyterian
He preached with great power
i and convinced and convertet
i thousands. His name was i
' synonym for strength. He wa
strong in faith, orthodox ii
every point. His sermons wen
i noted for their depth of thought
strength and logicv As a speake
' | he was earnest, convincing ant
r impressive.
: Dr. Mack's last charge was a
- College Park, Ga. Six month
ago advancing age and failinj
health caused him to resign ant
v.
. K %
he returned to Fort Mill to spend
the last months of his life.
Dr. Mack was married to Miss
Harriet Banks in 1864. To them
? were born seven children: Wil.
liam Mack, L. L. D. and Harry
i Mack, of New York; Rev. Dr.
. Edward Mack, of Lane Seminary,

iag reached him during the last
