,ed a congregation of about a dozen |
members. They had no bouse of wor
ship or regular preaching until 18841
when the frame building which they [
have used until now, was erected.
The first regular preacher to serve]
this church was S. D. Ridgeway. He I
was succeeded by R. V. Omer. Among |
those who have labored with the con
gregation since that time are D. R. |
Pickens, E. L. Shelnutt, John Cronen-
berger. T. J. Langston, A. B. Reeves, |
and W. A. Chastain who was min
ister at two different times and who]
labored faithfully and successfully for
the upbuilding of this work. To his
labors more than to any other pastor |
his congregation is indebted for its
growth.
The present minister began his la-|
bors here August, 1909. Since that
time the membership has increased
50 per cent, and the Sunday School
ISO per cent. The present member-1
ship is 300,
Four years ago the lot which had |
belonged to the Orr family for many
years was purchased and it was de
cided to erect a new building as soon
as funds and plans could be secured.
Geo. W, Kramer, of New York, who |
has made a specialty of church archi
tecture for forty years was retained I
as architect and to hiB genius we are |
indebted for the symmetry and beau
ty of this houses of worship, Work]
was begun late in October, 1914.1
When the organ is installed, as is
planned will be soon after the first
of the new Year, the lot, building and |
furnishings will be valued at $50,000.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
. “CHURCHES OF CHRIST’
(Continued from page nine.)
3. This restoration involves the sur
render of all human formulations of
dootrine as authoritative bases of
Church fellowship, and the accept
ance of the Bible alone as the rule
of faith and practice; and the con
fession of Jesus as the Christ, the son
of the living God, by Simon Peter
(MatL XVI: 15) as the creed of the
Church; the exchange of all party
names for scriptual names, and the
restoration of the ordinances to their
original meaning and place, baptism
being the burial in water of a peni
tent believer who has died to sin, and
the Lord's Supper being a memorial
feast to be observed each first day of
the week as the central act of wor
ship. 4. The faith which Justifies
and’saves has Christ, no dogma, for
its object, and is a vitalizing force
which issues in practical righteous
ness, and lead to a life of obedience,
and not an orthodox set of notions
about God. , The polity of the Disci
ples is congregational, the local offi
cers consisting of elders and deacond,
besides a minister or pastor, who may
be one of tbe elders. They combine
in district, state and national organ
isation for missionary work, but have
no general ecclesiastical body for leg
islative purposes.”
Thus, briefly, came Into existence
and grew this religious body with a
distinctly American development of
Christianity. It is the most complete
ly democratic of any religious body
and takes its stand firmly upon the
original Protestant principle “The
Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing
hut the Bible, is the religion of Pro
testants." An utterance of Thomas
Campbell, quite like this and quite as
noble has become their motto:
‘Where the Scriptures speak, we
speak; and where the Scriptures are
silent we are silent” The movement
is inclusive and not exclusive and its
passion is to deliver the church of
Christ from those proscriptions, sus
picions, and' ambitions which have
marred its beauty, disturbed its peace,
despoiled its spirituality, and limited
its power in the earth. The Disciples
gladly rejoice in the thought that oth
ers as well as themselves are Chris
tians. They simply desire to he Chris
tians only, and their churches to be
only churches of Christ With no
creed hut Christ, no hook but the
Bible, they have no aim but to serve.
Religious conditions in the world and
amongst the Disciples cause them to
believe that their views will meet
with even greater favor in the future
than In the past, and their growth will
be more rapid and solid. The pass
ing of a century shows no abatement
of energy or diminition of evangelis
tic fervor, and their principles are
commanding wider and more favora
ble consideration than ever before.
The life of the church Is expressed
In their nation-wide cooperative work
done through the American Christian
Missionary Society, the Foreign
Christian Missionary Society, the
Christian Woman’s Board of Missions,
the Board of Church Extension, the
National Benevolent Association, the
Board of Ministerial Relief, the Com
mission on Christian Union, the Na
tional Board of Christian Endeavor,
the Temperance Board, the Board of
Education, and the Commission on
Foreign Relations.'
The contributions for missions and
benevolence through thp hoards last
year, including that given through
the state boards, reached $1,503,716.91.
The number of churches in United
States and Canada id 8.524, with 1,-
370,512 members, 6,169 preachers, 525
of whom are colored.
The amount spent annually by the
churches for their,own work is about
$10,000,000 which does not include
the local and individual charities in
spired by the congregations. The
permanent church extension found
was $1,115,475.00 at' the last annual
report
There are 771 local and national pa
pers published in the United States.
Four of these are national in aim and
circulation: The "Christian Evange

(By L E.)
The very year the Christian church
had its beginning in the “Classic City”
of the “Empire State of the South,’
there was horn in the “Hoosier
State,” beyond the Ohio, a boy, who
was destined ^one day to lead this
body of believers to greater and no
bler attainments. A happy coinci
dence, maybe, but not so happy as
the actual day when the church elect
ed its present pastor, and he accepted
the call.
It was in August 1909, that Rev.
Stanley Roberts Grubb, vith his esti
mable wife closed a happy and suc
cessful patsorate at Colombia, South
Carolina, and came to theif new field
of activity. jA , '
Mr.' Grubb soon demonstrated a
marked ability as organizer and lead
er; a philanthropic nature, and
broad, missionary spirit; a gracious,
optimistic, and tactful temperament;
and a deep and abiding consecration
to the cause of his Lord and Master.
Through these splendid traits, he has
won many friends in Athens, and by
both preepet and example has led his
people to get a larger vision of-serv
ice. He has united and rallied the
forces to such an extent, that the
“little church round the corner” has
proven entirely inadequate. He has
encouraged growth and development
in every phase of the church service.
Realizing the great importance of
a live Bible school, Mr. Grubb has di
rected qmch of his best thought and
energy to this department. He stands
for the newest and best methods in
Sunday school work, and last spring
he brought to Athens a “School of
Methods,” composed- of four as capa
ble instructors in their line of work as
our county affords.
In his life work, no conviction is
more strongly emphasized than that
of the burden upon the church to
evangelize the world. He believes in
preaching, in teaching, and in healing,
whether the need he in our own home
land, or beyond the sea.
He has given value assistance in
directing the work of the LadleB Aid
Society. The work of these women
has been before the people of Athens
It observes the ordinances as orig
inally given by Christ and His apes-' ^
ties, practicing believers’ baptism, im- • theip success haa b6en dae to tte
mersion. and celebrating the Lords wisdom ^ timely counBel of their
mersion, and celebrating the Lord'
Supper every Lord’s Day. All Chris
tians are invited to the Lords’ table.
It is congregational in government.
It seeks to combine the largest per
sonal liberty with real brotherhood.
No endeavor is made to control the
lives and conduct of its members by
authority, but by the influence of rea
son, truth and love, based on the
study of the written word of God, the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, the life
of prayer, the light .of Christian ex
perience and motives of service.
People are received into the church
by satisfactory letter or statement
from other congregations and on faith,
repentance, confession of Christ, and
baptism into the name of the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit—the way ap
pointed by Christ Himself who is the
head of the Church. It has work and
opportunity for persons of all ages
and callings. “Whosover will may
come.”—Written by B. A. Abbott for
Union Avenue Christian Church for
minister.
In view of Mr. Grubb’s wonderful
constructive ability, he is greatly ap
preciated in both business, and fra
ternal circles.. He is loved, not only
by his own people, but by all who
know him. , It 4s hoped and predicted]
too, hy-the-way, that his work has
only just begun In our midst
