tho parent Of all the Presby tcrian
ism now known in Ncwbcrry
! But, as year rolled by, the bitter
ness of party discussion wore away
or was forgotten, and the partici
pants themselves lived to respect
each others conscientious convic-
tions Of truth and duty. And we
! arc happy to know that their do
t scondants now 1.-Two in harmony
and love- striving to provoke ono
] another to love and good works.
1t is worthy Of note, that Prcsby-
! terry met for four successive years
; towards tho close of MIR. Prcssly' $
! pastOrato in one or other Of the
I tho No "borry churches-at Head
, Spring Nov. 5th, 1829--at Pros.
pcrity Nov. 3rd, 1S3O--at Cannon
Creek Nov. 10th, 1S31--and ut
Kings Creek Nov. Slh, 1892. Tho
welfare Of the churches demanded
a pastor rs early rs practicable; ac-
cordingly God, in his providence,
provided suitable and worthy
successor in the person Of Rev.
Jonathan Galloway, Il probationcr
Of the First Prcsbytcry. Rcv.
Il. +. Prcssly, ID. d., was appoint
cd to moderate call at Cannon
Creek April I'd, 1888, which was
made out for Mr.. Galloway, who
was received on certificate at
; Cedar Spring, November, 1888,
and there and then ordained to
the Office Of the holy ministry.
Atthc next meeting Of Presbytcry,
held at Head Spring, April, 10th,
1896, he was dul y Installed Pastor
Of these united congregations.
Being sound in doctrine and con-
sistcnt in practice, ho was well
adapted to his field of labor, and
successfully did he labor to re-
establish the churches in the faith
and practice Of the fathers. Th {,
cldership was increased by Robert
Carmichael. Every thing moved
smoothly on in harmony and lovo
for II term of years, when tho
people began to desire moro
preaching.
BY Il mutual arrangement, Rev.
J. Q. Lindsay preached ono year,
194S, at Cannon and Kings Greek
churches. Near the close of that
year, Mr.. Galloway dcmitted
Kings Creek, which was placed
on the list Of vacancies. The next
year it was supplied ono third Of
his timo by Rev. ID. +. Huddon,
and two years subsequently by
Rev. a. Runson. In tho mean
time, Elder James Wilson having
ceased to act in the capacity OF
Elder, Patrick Martin was added
to the EIdership at Kings Creek
Capt. Spence still surviving to
discharge the duties Of tho Office
which he had long held. About
this timo an Associate Reformed
Church was formed in the town Of
Ncwberry, DR.. Thompson gave
the lot, and the frionds otthe cause
generally assisting in erecting q
very neat and substantial cditice.
DR.. VIM. McMOrris and DR.. Thom-
rs w. Thompson were ordained
E|dcrs---to whom Prof. VIM. Hood
was subsequently added. This
church, known rs the Thompson
street church, united with King
Creek and Subscrib ed Il call for
the labors Of Rev. II. L. Murphy,
which was by him accepted, and
he was duly installed pastor at
berry in 1854 field in which
he Iabored with great acceptance
until the close of tho war in 1865.
Early in this paslorato Col. J. S.
Renwick and Joseph Caldwell
were ordained Elders ut Kings
Creek. But under the discourage
ments incident TO a disastrous war
the. death Of two of the Elders at
Kings Greek, viz. : Capt. Spence
and Patrick Martin, and tho death
Of DR.. Thompson at Ncwbcrry, the
removal of Mr.. Hood to Colum bla,
and DR.. McMorris to the country,
MIR. Murphy seemed to become
dishcartcncd, and giving up his
charge to tho Presbytcry, remov-
cd to West Tennessee, where he
still lives to preach tho Gospel.
But retracing our steps and re.
suming the historic narrative OF
OLD pastoratc under Rev. Galloway
whoro VIC left off in 1848.-Mr.
Galloway continued his labors at
Cannon Creek, Prosperity, and
Head Spring until Oct, 5th, 1855,
when failing health compelled him
to demit his charge and commend
it to the watchful care Of Presby.
terry, after pastorato of 20 years.
Some changes and additions to the
Eldcrship were mado during this
Passionate. On the death Of John
Caldwell, Samuel Reid, Esq, was
ordained to the Office at Cannon
Crock. On his death, Joseph S.
Reid succeeded, until his removal
West, and James S. Sloan. At
Prosperity, James Fair, Esq, was
received by transfer from Duo
West. And at Head Spring, be-
sides Jas. j. Sloan and Capt. James
Chalmers, Frederick Bo0zcr, and
