This Day in History

A fun bit of history of The ARP Magazine for the month of February.

As printed in this copy of The Associate Reformed Presbyterian, February 27, 1901, is a section on Church News.

Rev. Joseph L. Pressly will preach at Ora next Sabbath.

The Due West ladies will spend three hundred dollars on the church.

Rev. J.V. Black preached in the First Presbyterian Church of Anderson, SC, last Sabbath.

Mr. Moffatt Millen, of Rosemark TN, received the orator’s gold medal at Washington and Lee University last Friday night. He is the son of Rev. W.H. Millen, the popular pastor of Richland and Brighton, TN.

The Huntersville people are very encouraged over the prospect of having a new church building. They hope to build one costing $2,500 or $3,000. The pastor is very hopeful, some ten days ago he told a friend that they had raised over $1,400.

The Board of Home Missions has asked Rev. I.N. Kennedy and Rev. A.J. Ranson to do some work at Huntsville, AL until Synod. They will preach there once a month, going month about. Just now the authorities in Lincoln County have put in force a very strict quarantine against Madison County in which Huntsville is located and this will prevent these brethren from going down until it is removed. A shotgun quarantine is usually very effective.
