From Butcher Boy To States
Oldest Preacher Is Resume
Old Minister Here

From a butcher boy at F o t
Fisher during the war between the
states to the oldest minister in
North Carolina, if not in the
United states, is the lot of the
Rev. j. P. King, Wilmington, who
Friday celebrated his 99th birth
day.
To the mercy of the Lord" the
Rev. Mr.. King, former pastor of
Whining on's Sixth St. Christian
church, today attributed his long
evity, as he prepared to celebrate
his goth anniversary that night.
The Rev. Mr.. King who was
converted at q to the faith of the
Missionary Baptist church, cele-
brated his birthday at a party at
which "only a few close friends
were in attendance. The party will
be given by his granddaughter,
Mrs. c.. H. Breaveale at lis S.
Fourth street.
He has 127 heirs; four
daughters, 49 grandchildren, 81
great, grandchildren and 10 great,
grandchildren. Two sons died dur
ing recent years.
For IS years he vas pastor OF
the Sixth street church, h aving
retired nine years ago. but on last
Sunday night he delivered his an
nual Fathers day sermon to a ca
pacity house.
The elderly minister, strong in
speech and yet in the wisdom Of
his faith, had breakfast that morn
ing at $50 o'clock with his wife.
At | O'Clock he partook of a hearty
luncheon and retired for his after
noon nap before the fun of inc
evening began.
he Rev. Mr.. King unhesitatingly
tells of his early Christlanhood
DAYS. about his conversion as a
member of the Baptist church,
then two years later how he learn
ed that the faith to which he owed
his allegiance was that of the
Christian church.
During the years the Rev. Mr..
King has come to have a broad
understanding of his fellowmen,
as is seen in his outlook on the
life and work of men, women and
children OF the 10th century.
According to his philosophy, the
children of today are not bad, they
are young, full of energy, ano
need the same guidance that most
children had during my day."
Another strong factor in the
Rev. MI. Kings belief is the helr
and kindness which has been &C
corded him by his fellowman, now
as during his many years as q
minister.
He takes pride in telling how
Harry E. Fales, director of the
New Hanover county Bureau Of
Identification has arranged for a
hearing aid to assist him in his
infirmities.
Gales according to the Rev,
Mr.. King is "about one of the
most centenary men, living.
He has made all contacts with
company representatives and pro-
cured one of the magic hearing
devices which the minister now
uses to help him hear the voices
of people, are strange to him.
His wife said that before he
received the hearing aid, it was
difficult for him to hear anyone's
except her own voice, which she
| said she took care to modulate in

~ ths A,,esioi.d Pros,

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. 9.-Mrs.
Edith Christine Reynolds, 27-year-
old brunette Londoner. yesterday
told of the troubles that came to
her in posing as the wife of a man
who was not her husband.
She and Harold Hall, 81, a Lon
don waiter who says he was prewar
engineer there, are being held here
by immigration authorities pending
"a deportation hearing.
They are charged with obtaining
a false passport for Mrs. Reynolds
in the name of Halls divorced wife,
Mabel Mary Hall of Whitechurch,
Cardiff, Wales.
Mrs. Reynolds, at liberty under
$500 bail, said she and Hall arrived
in New York December 81 to take
jobs as housekeeper and butler at
the Greenwich home of Frank A.
Morrow. dealer in salted nuts.
Her troubles, she told newsmen
started Christmas eve when Hall
tried to choke her because she
continued to live as his wife in
name only" She said she and Hall
had separate cabins on the boat
from England and separate bed
rooms in the Morrow home.
When he choked her, she said
she complained to Greenwich po-
lice, who arrested him for assault
a charge which later was dropped
when immigration officials entered
the case.
Il warned him in England that
the only reason I accepted this
man-and-wife job in America was
to get away from my family trou-
bles," she asserted.
Mrs. Reynolds says she is es-
tranged from her husband, Harry
John Reynolds, 81, of Tottenham
London, and that her 5-year- -old son
lives with his fathers parents.
Once secretary to Arthur w. Lewis
M. p. who was organizer of last
October's London hotel strike, she
