A. R. P. CHURCH HAS
INTERESTING HISTORY
Chronology Drawn By
Mrs. Mary Parr
The Newberry Associate Re
formed Presbyterian Church,
which recently celebrated its cen
tennial in joint sessiojgig with
the Kings Creek A. R.
has a most interesting history,
which was compiled and read to
the members attending the 106th
anniversary meeting on Tuesday,
October 17 by Mrs. Mary B. Parr.
The chronological listening of
events and anecodotes connect
ed with the church’* eariler
days was of such interest that
it is being reprinted in its en
tirely as follows:
The story of the Associate Re
formed Presbyterian church in
Newberry, South Carolina, is like
all histon-.s of Institutions, the
pulsing life-story of the people
who compose the membership.
However the church itself has a
distinct life of its own which is
more than the composite history
of its members. It is the living
breathing record of the birth,
coming of age, and useful years
of maturity of an agent of God in
the part of today’s world known
as Newberry, South Carolina.
This church came into being
the middle of the nineteenth cen
tury—just one hundred years ago
—as Thompson Street A. R. P.
church. The little white framed
building pointed its steeplod fing
er Godward, and resolutely its of
ficers charted its course in that
direction. Dr. William McMor-
rics, Dr. Thomas W. Thompson,
and Prof. William Hood were the
ruling elders. From 1853 through
the bitter war years the Rev.
H. L. Murphy served as pastor.
But with the conclusion of the
war, conditions here as elsewhere
in the South, became more dis
couraging. So Mr. Murphy re
signed the pastorate. When the
strugling church needed the care
of a pastor most, it had to man
age under irregular pastoral lead
ership. During this period Dr
W. M. Grier labored as supply-
pastor for a year.
When things looked darkest
then came the dawm. The .Rev
E. P. McClintock began his fruit
ful ministry in 1870 as pastor of
Kings Creek and Thompson
Street A. R. P. churches, and
continued in this capacity for
twelve years. Then he found it
necessary to reliquish the Kings
Creek pastorate and devote his
full time to the Newberry church.
At this time the church was
well organized. The elders were:
M. A. Carlisle, James F. Todd
George S. Mower, John C. Wil
son, and C. F. Boyd. The deacons
were: Edwin Carlisle, E. C.
Jones, S. B. Jones, and F. N.
Martin, according to the church
records of 1903.
When the church was organi
zed, it had only as many mem
bers as the average natural fam
ily—nine. But by 1903 it had
grown nto a church family of
one hundred and twenty mem
bers. There were the usual auxi
liary societies functioning within
the church. However the strength
of the Thompson Street A. R. P.
church could not be measured
in terms of its membership nor
by its organisations. Its in
fluence for good in the Town of
Newberry was out of all propor
tion to its size. And it was ac-
t^roly supporting all the causes
of the A. R. P. denomination.
A story that is told of this per
iod has to do with an experi-
Cnoe the ladies .had when as
sembled at the church for a mis
sionary meeting. It was a sum
mer afternoon, and the windows
were open. Suddenly a thunder
storm arose. A huge ball of fire
was seen to roll in the window.
One of the good ladies instan
taneously jumped to her feet and
shouted: “Lord, save us!” Before
she had concluded her prayers,
the lightning ball shot out anoth
er window across the meeting
hall, leaving the society mem
bers unharmed, but more believ
ing in the grace of God than
ever before!
Time was taking its toll of the
shepherd of the flock. That
grand old man, Dr. E. P. Mc
Clintock, now sixty-eight years
of age, resigned (1966) the pasto
rate on March 25, 1906. His wife
Elizabeth Jane Young McClin
tock, continued her consecreated
activity in church work through
the society. Their daughters,
Euphemia and Mary Law, be
came presidents of girls’ colleges.
By examining the records of
1906, we find that the offeers
were—TSlders: C. F. Boyd, M. A.
Carlisle, J. N. Martin, Geo. S.
Mower, J. S. Reid, J. F. Todd,
and J. C. Wilson; Deacons: Ed
win Carlisle, E. C. Jones, and
S. B. Jones.
The new pastor who assumed
duties on November 11, 1906,
was the Rev. D. G. Phillips. His
wife was Jane Wideman Phillips,
and they had seven children at
this time. His fine gospel ser
mons and his willing ready ser
vice as pastor was a spiritual up
lift era in the congregation.
The twenty-three members of
the Ladies’ Missionary Society
realized they were outgrowng
their little white church home on
Thompson street. They establish
ed a church building fund to aug
ment the $2,000 received from
tha sale of the church lot. How
ever, the buyer agreed that he
would not take possession un
til a new church home was ready
for occupancy. The building
fund grew to $4,006. Then came
the FIRE! This holocaust oc
curred on March 28, 1907. It
swept away the church and a
large part of the town.
Now a new church was a nec
essity. The Young People’s So
ciety rose to the emergency by
raising funds to purchase the lot
on the corner of Calhoun and
Main streets. The present com
paratively imposing red brick
structure of the sancturary was
ready for Synod on November
5, 1908, and it was dedicated
the following year.
On May 23, 1909, Dr. Phillips
resigned the pastorate to accept
a call tendered him by the Chest
er A. R. P. church.
History marches on, though
the personnel of those who are
marching in any given section
of the parade changes. The of
ficers now are—Elders: M. Car
lisle, J. C. Halacre, J. H. Hunter,
(Continued on back page)
A flower arangement clinic,
open to the public, will be con
ducted at the Court House Tues
day, Nov. 14, by Mrs. W. Harrell
Wilson of Greenville. The New
berry Garden Club is sponsoring
this clinic/
Mrs. Wilson is an amateur ac
credited judge of The National
Council of State Garden Clubs,
and a nationally accredited in
structor. Sae is known in gar
den clubs throughout the South
east, having lectured last year
in most of the southern states.
Two Greenville flower shows, one
in 19447 and one n 1949, of
which she was chairman, won
the purple ribbon, highest award
by The National Council of Gar
den Clubs.
She is president of the South
Carolina Accredited Judges, past
president of the Greenville Gar
den club, was chairman of the
State conventions from 1940-1948,
and regional director of state gar
den clubs in 1943.
There will be two sessions of
the flower arrangement clinic,
which will consist of lecture and
demonstration, made easy by
Mrs. Wilson’s own method of
teaching, which has proved so
effective in simplifying the study
of flower arranging that she
plans to use it this fall in teach
ing a class of children aged 4 to
6.
The morning session will be
10:30 to 12:36 and the afternoon
one from 2:00 to 4:00, at the
Court House. Tickets are priced
at $1.00 for both sessions or 76c
for one. They may be secured
from any member of the New
berry Garden Club, or at the door
on the day of the clinic.
Those who attend the Flower
Show School clinic have a real
treat in store. Mrs. Wilson will
instruct on “Flower Arrange
ments,’’ and learning from her
is truly an adventure in itself.
She has developed a revolution
ary method of simplifyjbBg the
presentation of the basic princip
les of flower arranging. This
method she calls “teaching
through visual aids.” She shows
her classes the actual shapes
and colors which create patterns
pleasing to the eye; and also
patterns to be avoided. This she
does through use of her own
adaptation of the ‘flannel board,’
and with a series of novel charts
she has developed. Mrs* Wilson
has the unusual ability of carry
ing her audience into her sub
ject through her own enthusiasm.
This enthusiasm has made Mrs.
Wilson a “doer” all her life and
was instumental in winning for
the Greenville Garden club a Pur-
pel Rosette, highest award by the
National Council of Garden clubs
for the 1949 Flower Show, of
which Mrs. Wilson was chair
man.
From the beginner, who has
never done more than stick a
handful of daisies in a tall glass
to the expert who has won rib
bons for her tastful arrange
ments, everyone will have fun in
Mrs. Wilson’s classes.

LOMINICK ELECTED
The School Reorganization
plan was defeated in Tuesday’*
election by some 200 votes, the
count being 1420 against and 1225
in favor, with only the small
Walton box missing. Newberry
Whitmire and Prosperity return
ed sizeable majorities for the
plan while a number of country
boxes went solidly against it.
Opposition was noted in the re
turns from almost every country
area where the school plan was
designed to break up the country
schools and transport the chil
dren to town schools. The vote
is evidence that people of the
country are not ready to part
with their schools and the op
position vote is the more sur
prising because little was done
in opposing the plan whereas
those favoring it held meeting*
in all sections of the county,
before civic clubs, and parent-
teacher organizations.
Frank Lominick, Jr. was elect
ed Commsisioner over Reid Mar-
rett by a two to one majority.
With three small boxes missing
Mr. Lominick received 10-16 votes
to 562 for Mr. Marett. Few ex
