ITS PAST HISTORY ANJ) PRES¬
ENT CONDITION,
With a Blojcraphlt-wl Sketch of Its Sew
Rector—’‘The Little Church
Upon the Hill.”
Always delighting in the moral and
religious as well as the material good
fortune of Griffin, the News and Sun
takes great pleasure this morning in
congratnlating the parish of St.
George’s church upon its recent
strong revival o[ interest' and pres¬
ent prospects of great future useful¬
ness.
The calling of a new pastor is an
important event in the life of the
church, so long watched over with
faithful care by the Rev. C. Dowe,
whose retirement to his daughter’s
home in New Orleans early lost sum¬
mer, eaused by physical inability to
perform the d titles whieh he had loved
to go through, had left the parish in
a state of inertia. Already it has
taken on new life and its unwonted
activity and interest have madeglad
the hearts of its friends.
The history of this church is of in¬
terest, and we believe has never been
published. The News and Sun takes
this occasion to lay it before thepub-
lie as embodied in the parish register,
togeth with an accurate and
picture of the handsome building and
grounds, on the commanding hill at
the comer of Tenth and Broadway

HISTORY
Griffin, June 4th, 1866.
On 23d May I accepted a call to
the Rectorship of St. George’s church
and entered at once upon its duties,
SftttKTtsng; and with the ffsf r:.
quest Vestry I submit the approval of the
brief account of the following which as a

gregat-ion hence allowances residents of the place
and must be made
for errors in dates j where reference
could not be made to statistics.
About the year 1857 Rev. H. K.
Rees by the advice of the Bishop
visited Griffin to gather and see
what could be done for the handful
of the faithful in this place, and to
afford them the opportunity of re¬
ceiving the instructions of our holy
church. The labors of this faithful
servant of God like refreshing dews
geminated lain dormant the seed which bad hither¬
to and laid the founda¬
tion of the present Parish.
Rev. Mr. George, by the appoint¬
ment of the Bishop, began his mis¬
sionary duties in August, 1859, and
carried on the work which had al¬

council of thechureh then assembled
in Columbus as "St. George’s
Church.”
In November, 1864, Rev. Mr. Thom¬
as accepted the Rectorship, but cir¬
cumstances ministrations prevented his constant
and the services of the
church were very irregular. Mr.
Thomas handed in his resignation in
March, 1866, ha ving received a call
to Atlanta. For several months,
past Mr. Hunt has officiated as a
lay-reader most acceptably, offering
to her children the pure services of
of onr blessed church and thus keep¬
ing together the flock which might
otherwise have been scattered. The

rangement services had been held in
a school-room. It is my earnest
prayer that this congregation may
be joined in unity ofspiritand in the
bond of peace so that with one
heart thejomay desire the prosperi¬
ty of the Holy Apostolic church
that they may walk in the ways of
truth and peace and at last be num¬
bered with the saints in glory ever¬
lasting through the mercy of the
blessed Saviour who is the the gra¬
cious Bishop and D. Shepherd Grant, Rector, of Souls.

! THE NEW HECTOR.
< Rev. J. T. Hargrave, the new rec-
tor of the chureh, has now become
comfortably installed in his new of-
flee and today will hold his third
mau of P leasm £ apF ar Be,.«^ « nc e « nt * ad-
dress and of sociable manners, and
has already become quite popular
rr * ias ® nU one *~r<b wor the ^ ,n a quiet
and sensible way, and in his prefa-
tory remarks On the first Sunday
showed that he thoroughly under-
stood , , the , relations ... which ,. , should , ,, ex¬
ist between the pastor and his peo¬
ple-. . •.
A short sketch of his life, as given
the News and Sun by himself yes¬
terday at the request of the religious
editor, will be of interest not only to
bis own congregation but to all the
citizens of the community in which
he has been made heartily welcome.
John Thompson Hargrave was
born in Ulster County, New York, in
May of 1851. fife mother’s family
name is Thompson, and both his
parents are natives of Yorkshire,
England, coming to this country in
1844 and settling in Ulster county,
where both are today enjoying the
retrospect *of a well spent life in a
peaceful old age. All of his ances¬
tors back of his father were English
soldiers; his father was an architect,
contractor and builder, and an or¬
iginal Douglas Democrat. All of
Mr. Hargrave’s yputh was spent In
New York, except one year that his
parents lived in Wisconsin, return¬
ing again to Ulster county. His col¬
legiate education was received at
Clabearck College near Hudson, • an
annex of Syracuse University. After
a year's course in theology at Pough¬
keepsie he passed a successful exami¬
nation conducted by Rev, D. G.
Wright, of Poughkeepsie Female
fa^-vector ofChrist’e Church and
now an Archdeacon of the diocese of
New York. In 1879 he was or-
Potter, of New York, in the Church
of the Transfiguration—now known
over the whole “world as "The little
chureh around the corner,” which
buried the actor after other ehurt
had refused; and as presbyter by
Bishop Seymour, of the diocese of
(JltlFFIN GEORGIA. SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 17 . 188 P.
=
Springfield, Illinois, who was then
visiting New |Yorb, in St. Chrysos¬
tom’s chapel. With two exceptions
the period from 1878 to 1884 was
spent as a rector in Hudson Biver
towns. The year 1877 he was pas¬
tor of a Massachusetts congregation.
In 1$81 Mr. Hargrave founded the
Kingston Leader, which was a daily
and weekly from the start, and was
and is the only Democratic daily in
Kingston—a place of 25,000—and
Ulster county. It bad the struggles
and vicissitudes incident to all such
new enterprises, and he sold out
interest in a year. The Leader is
day a good-sized and flourishing
paper, owning a complete plant and
the handsome building in which it
located.. On January 1st, 1884, Mf.
Hargrave left the Chureh of the
cension, on the Hudson opposite
Kingston, and accepted the rector¬
ship of Christ’s church at Holly
Springs, Mississippi, which he occu¬
pied for three years and a half. After
a short period at Trinity church, at
Clarksville, Tennessee, he was called
by the Church of the Advent, at
Brownsville, Texas, and from there he
here. ’ ~~ f
came - •.
At the severing of Mr. Hargrave’s
connection with the church at Holly
Springs, Miss., resolutions werepass :
ed forcibly expressing regrets at his
resignation and giving him strong
endorsements as a teacher and
preacher, and spoke al his great pas¬
toral work. They also made men¬
tion of the great good done by Mrs.
Hargrave in assisting her husband,
Similar resolutions were passed
by the Brownsville church, and
the papers there also expressed
their regrets.
Mr. Hargrave was married in 1877,
in Middletown, Orange county, N. Y.,
to a daughter of Judge Groo, now of
iJew York City. His father-in-law
was at one time a candidate for gov¬
ernor of New York on the prohibition
ticket, and is a great friend of Sena¬
tor Colquitt and Governor St. John.
His wife is also a third cousin of
Judge Henry Hilton, the noted ex¬
ecutor of A. T. Stewart, of New York.
The fruit of this union are five chil-
dren, three girls and two boys; two
were born on the Hudson, two in
Mississippi and one oh the Rio
Grande, so that there is nothing sec¬
tional about Mr. Hargrave’s family,
Mr. Hargrave likes the South and
has seen enough of it to appreciate
the fact that the new spirit of enter,
prise grafted upon the old stock of
sturdy virtue and gentle culture
makes it an ideal country and people.
He is greatly pleased with Griffin and
enthusiastic over the hospitality and
cordiality shown him, not only in
manner and words but in the most
generous of deeds. He is also pleased
with the spirit shown in the chureh
and its promising prospects for the
future, in regard to which he has re¬
ceived a most encouraging letter
from Bishop Beckwith. The many
years of careful ministration of Rev.
C. Dowe have left the church respect,
ed by all and without an enemy, and
better still there is no internal strife,
and Mr. Hargrave realizes the op¬
portunity to build up a strong con¬
gregation.
The News and Sun hopes that his
most sanguine expectations may be
realized, and that his days may be
long in the land to which he has been
called.
