A congregation that completely filled the main auditorium and also filled the Sabbath School room to ca-, pacity gathered yesterday afternoon, at four o’clock to pay a tribute of re- ‘|spect,love and congratulation to the four decades of useful and faithful! services of that venerable and belov-| ed pastor of the First Associate Re-| formed Presbyterian church,Dr.J. H.Pressly,of this city.The services, which held the closest attention of the big audience for the best partof ,, two hours,were in keeping with the occasion and were carried out in an excellent manner.| The rostrum on which the speakers of the occasion stood,was effectively decorated with a wealth of late sum- mer flowers in a variety of colorful shades and adced much to the beauty of the services. A violin and organ duet with Mrs.Harold Yount playing the violin and |’ Mrs.Frank Deaton at the organ,was’ played as a prelude.Four verses of “Old Hundred”): \were sung by the conregation as the opening number on the program,aft-|er which Rev.E.G.Carson of Press-| ly Memorial A.R.P.church read the scripture a variety of passages be- fitting the occasion.In_introducing! the scripture reading,Mr.Carson} spoke of how Dr.Pressly would standinthepulpitwithhiseye-glasses in|one hand and a book,maybe a Bible,! or Psalm book,or some other kind of gin his scripture reading to his con-'gregation.Mr.Carson’s scripturereadingwasveryeffectiveandmostsuitabletotheoccasion.Follow-.ing the scripture reading,Rev.Ek.J.Harbison of the RaceStreetMethodistchurch,_presi-,dent of the local Ministerial Associa-_tion,led in a prayer that was veryappropriatetotheoccasion.’ An anthem,“Praise Ye The Lord,”,was next sung by the choir.iMr.J.G.Shelton,who was master | of ceremonies and who is chairmanofthesession,made a few appro-| priate remarks and introduced thespeakers._itm-ee eae _—book in the other hand and wouldbe-|! i +3chu.|elected to carry up the call.‘|was accepted and Mr. ‘tthe pastor.~~ MINUTES OF SESSION. APD F 2s t Next on the program was a resume of the four decades of Dr.Pressly's ministry at the local church.| The first decade,from 1892 to 1902,was given by Mr.J.Stanley Alexander,one of the oldest living church members and also one of the oldest officers in the church.Some’ of the high lights of his resume are as follows: “On September 27,1891,Rev.D. G.Caldwell tendered his resignation and on October 4th it was accepted. The church was then without a pas- tor until August 5th,1892,On March hth,1892,the session met with Rev.! J.E.Boyd as Moderator to make out a call for Rev.J.H.Pressly of Due! West,8.C.,who was at that time finishing his course at Erskine Theo-| logical Seminary.This was put he-; fore the congregation,which number- ed then about 75 members and now) about 600 and the call was unanim- ous.Captain T.M.C.Davidson wasThecall Pressly was ordained and installed pastor of the local A.R.P.church,August 5,1892. Rev.W.L.Pressly,father of J.H.) Pressly was here and took part in the installation,giving the charge to Mr.Pressly’s salary at that time was $600 a year,but today it is five times that much. “Thus began a friendship and ties that has bound pastor and people of the First A.R.P.church of States- ville together for 40 years,but not! only this church but the people of Statesville and surrounding country have and are still enjoying the friendship and ties of goodwill of Dr.| Pressly.We believe that we made a wise choice when we called Mr.!Pressly to be our pastor and he did’ in accepting,but the wisest choice was when he made up his mind to go, down to Harrells,Alabama,to the’ home of Rev,J.A.Lowery and ask the hand of his daughter,Mabel,in, marriage.They were married June!19,1895.For the first few months | of their married life they stayed atthehomeofthelateJ.K.Morrison.|/ Mrs.Pressly has heen a stay and: buckler in every time of need,in'spiritual as well as temporal things to Dr.Pressly.UF “Tn due course of time the Pressly family began to increase and multi-} ply.In the fall of 1897,the congre-, gation decided to secure a lot and, build a parsonage.A lot on East) Broad street was secured and a seven! or eight room house was built in 111898 at a cost of about $750.Dr. Pressly and his family are living in! this house today,which was remod- eled several years ago. “On June 10,1899 our church wasdestroyedbyacyclone,which we he-|lieve was a blessing in_disguise,al- though this retarded the growth oftheoarofthechurchfor |some time,e greatest display of ,brotherhood and friendship."(Continued On Page Five).was a} WN t wt oy~ \ o -itieulations and articulations ;-congregation and which —;!———-—_—_r class met on Sabbath mornings r at other times.e system of deacons was put into effect f ana Capt.T.M.C.Davidson. this period the local A.R,P.church|©had a $Pressly’s ministry, "geven men. a number of A.R.P's.living in tha’ section of the city.Several membersofthelocalA.R,P.church withdrewandorganizedthePresslyMemorialA.R.P.church,a daughter of thejlocalA.R.P.church.The Carson,a minister of fine qualities and ore who stands for the best andhighestthingsoflife.This churchynewhasamembershipofsome150 to 200 members,and the mother church is proud of her daughter andforwhatitstands.The elders dur-ing the 1902 to 1912 period were:A. °’DD.Kestler,W.W.White,J.W.‘White,J.K.Morrison,T.D.Miller During under In closing,Miss‘Daviason spoke of Dr.Pressly’s ges- whichjhelpedtoholdtheattentionofhis steady growth ‘have a great deal to do with the vig-{or of Dr.Pressly today.Mr.Ben Ramsey gave a resume of!aqa\the third decade,from 1912 to 1922. e |'He introduced his talk with these|words:“This was a period of enlist- ;ment of man power for the church.” {In 1912 there were 157 members of‘the Sabbath school of which 150 were ,women and children and the other There was no organiza- ‘tion of young men at that time. |Shortly afterwards a Young Men's In 1922 a. »Jot adjoining the present chureh was, ®bought by five generous members of tithe church. _Bible Class was started.

To the third and fourth generation there have been preachers in the Pres- sly family.Dr.J H Pressly,“Our, Mr.Pressly”as Statesville folks desig- nate him,is the son of Dr.William L.Pressly,late president of Erskine Seminary,who himself was son of the distinguished Dr.E.E.Pressly and marking the fourth direct line of Pressly preachers is Rev.William Pressly of Greenwood,S.C.,son of “Our Mr.Pressly.” Son of a gifted line of God-fearing men,grace was poured into Dr.James Hearst Pressly’s lips by inheritance and the pulpit became his throne of power as it was that of his father and his grandfather. Dr.Pressly was born March 6,1866 in the country parsonage at Genero- stee,Anderson County,S.C.He was one of ten children,nine boys,one girl.The Generostee congregation was a flourishing one for those times but during the war and just after money was scarce and the mother of that Pressly brood,Frances Wideman Pressly,there in that country parson- age did a noble work as home-maker and general manager,stretching over those nine sturdy boys,that little girls,the few hundred dollars that was the entire salary of several years service during the period of distress in the south. In 1872,when our Mr.Pressly was just six years old,the father was called to Due West as pastor to suc- ceed Dr.R.C.Grier.They tell in the family that he debated the call ser- iously,loath to leave his beloved con- gregation.One day the officers of the Due West church visited him for a reply.He still hesitated.His wife was present and inquired as to education- al possibilities for her growing fam- ily.She was assured that would be easily arranged at Erskine.Turning to her husband she said “Go tell the boys to get the horse and wagon ready.We will go.”And they went. The father to later become the belov- ed president of the seminary,the chil- ._dred to all graduate at Erskine as their father and grandfather before them had done, Of those children,the eight broth- ——— -ers and the sister of our Mr.Pressly, .it is interesting to note that four became ministers,two physicians,the daughter married Professor Grier of Erskine college and her son is now President of the college.Of the fam- ily only two are now living,Dr.Pres- sly of Statesville,his brother,Mr. William Pressly of Due West. Dr.Pressly was an unusually bright and capable young fellow,“A bril- liant boy,”a sone who knew him says. He went through school almost too fast to keep himself placed,at one time being entered in the girls’school because he had gone beyond his own class and was not old enough for col- lege.At eighteen,handing his Ers- kine college diploma to his mother to frame along with those of two Pressly generations before him,he set out to teach school at Marion Junction,Ala- bama.He was a good teacher,reports say,and was evidently satisfactory to the board because for five years he continued in the position.A “tall lean,black haired,bright-eyed young fellow with a heap of sense and a heap of fire,”he is pictured in those years of teaching.All through the period,however,something urged him on,kept him from feeling settled and at peace and finally,after much de- bating within himself,Dr.Pressly turned back to the seminary to be- come a preacher,just as his own father,some 40 or more years before had turned back from a_promising business career to enter the ministry. In 1890 Dr.Pressly entered the Erskine seminary.In 1892 he grad- uated and was ordained pastor of the Statesville church by the First Pres- bytery in July 1892. There are some here who heard his first sermon.Some who recall how they were impressed by the very be- ginning of his ministry with the in- tense sincerity of the young preacher, his ardent hopes and deep faith.There are some who recall how he looked, his black hair a bit long in the back, his wide mouth firm and thin lipped and his eyes deep set and shining. There are those too who remember when he went away in June 1893 and came back bringing his bride—Mabel Lowry,former pupil of his in Ala- bama,a daughter of a preacher,grad- uate of Erskine and as sweet,gentle, end lovely a wife as a man ever found. house.: ught whe saan and for $800 built,one memberof giving personal to the construc has been done § ed,general remod people of the slys lived first in a rented oe cee for $200 the lot was re the Pressly home now the house was the congregation supervision and work tion.Much,of course, ince then,rooms add- eling,‘the love of the church expressing itself fort for the family s f i i nnection Wi aah i _incident that © he home ther od some further understanding and jati f the mother of the one le back the congregation, through a committee,sent to vs = Mrs.Pressly 4 clear deed to the 4 making it their own personal ne = to have and to hold.It was 4 -. gesture,sincerely meant,deep at preciated but Mrs.Pressly said “No, in added com cannot do things that way.I want the home,I love it and would like to always live here but we'll pay for it first and then take it”and so they| are doing,paying first with the deed there waiting on them and soon now to be claimed. Along with the gifts nature gave to him,with the grace the Lord be- stowed upon him Dr.Pressly’s wife stands pre-eminent as his greatest blessing,his highest honor and chief inspiration and help—a wife and mother that has enriched this com- munity by her example of faithful love and wise service. =ete MINUTES OF SESSION.MINUTES OF SESSION.——ee ** | 5 )rae Dr.and Mrs.Pressly have eleven ~| children and every one of them bears |eet.ae a .the name in honor and high esteem.| Forty eight years ago Dr.Pressly + came to Statesville and few men have become as much the spirit of a place |as he has become the spirit of States- ville in these 48 years.A man of tact he has never needlessly offended. High mettled he has always been in- tensely sympathetic.Eminently a pastor he has ruled unconsciously by ;his love,his humility,his since.‘y, and gentleness.No one could hold re-FF|sentment toward Dr.Pressly because resentment he.has never known and does not recognize.Perhaps no man in our community is better known,more generally loved.His knowledge of the Scripture is deep and his reverence .for it profound.His intensity at times |is touched with eloquence and his sin- cerity is never questioned.He bap-Bs i tized our babies,prayed by our sick,KIRST A.R.DP.Ht Rt Ht 1940 buried our dead.He has said the bene-i :Statesville,N.C, diction over our brides,solved many @ De.J.H.Pressiy,Pastor a problem for our troubled ones,stood * loyally by our erring ones.He is KIRST AJR.P.CHLURCHL,1892 bound to his own church and to the whole community with cords of love that have strengthened through 48 years of service among us.

This action was taken in tiew of the fact that heretofore your gsalary had been based on the fact that in addition to your regular salary the church furnished your parsonage. Since this is no longer the case,we felt that some adjust- ment should be made.As you know,it had been tentatively agreed that the church would continue to pay taxes and insurance after you assumed ownership of the parsonage, however,it ie now our opinion this arrangemont would not prove satisfactory to either party. Henoe the Boards felt,in order to equitably adjust this matter,your salary should be set at §2600.00 for the ourrent year,with an additional §400.00 in view of the fact you are now personally furnishing the parsonage,making- @ total of $3600.00.Of course,in approving this resolution, it was wderstood that all liabilitées in connection with ownership of the parsonage,including taxes,insurance,éts.would be assured by you since you are now sole owner of the property. We trust this action will be satisfactory with you,If not,please advise promptly.
