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. Erwin / The Minister 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 list,” SL Louis, Mo.; “Christian Stan dard.” Cincinnati, Ohio; the “Chris tian Century,” Chicago, Ill., and the “Gospel Advocate,” Nashville, Tenn.

(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 How to Keep a Secret.
