SOth Anniversary
Observed By Johns
Memorial Church
Rector Cites a
Challenge And Gives
A Recap OF History

The 80th anniversary of the found
ing of Johns Memorial Episcopal
Church on May 10. 1879 was OBJ
served with a congregational supper
at the Parish House, Tuesday eve
ming.
The Rev j. A. Vache. rector
gave a brief recapitulation of the
history of the church. and he re-
minded m m e S of the great
missionary task of the church in
ministering to the young people Of
the community and to the young
men and women of the church at
tending the two colleges. He pointed
out the challenge offered in this
respect because of the anticipation
Of doubled enrollments by 1870.
Back to the Past
That was all Mr. Vache had to
say about the present and the flu
ture. For the remainder of his talk.
he turned back to 1879 and the first
meeting for purposes of establish
ing the church-a meeting held in
the L. NJ Blanton home. Reso-
buttons were adopted to purchase a
lot and vestrymen were selected
1t was decided that the church
would be known as Johns Memorial
Church. named after Bishop John
Johns. of Virginia, who served ably
in that capacity from 1862 to his
death in 1876
Vestry meetings on up to one on
January %. 1883 were recounted.
Earlier meetings were devoted to
plans for building a church, but
things began to span out at this
meeting. The first purchase of a
house for a rectory was approved.
1t was a purchase followed by a
series which grew until the church
owned almost a block of property
on High street
No Steeple Planned
On March "a, 1881. a contract to
build church building without a
steeple was let for the 'phenome-
nal price Of $3,079.
Mr.. Vache noted that the vestry-
men decided in 1884 that collections
would be taken up at the morning
services, but evening services would
be free.
The sale of property to pay off
mortgages and build rectory was
approved. and then in 1900 a com
mittee was authorized to buy. ma
terial and supply lumber for build
ing the church tower. In 1906 plans
for the present Parish House We're
approved. The rector continued to
trace the development of the church
on through the year, 1910
Mr.. Vache discussed the various
ministers and their programs in the
church, but he emphasized pri-
marily the organization and adj
vancement of the building program
He cited the fact that IA rectors
had served the church during its
so years. of existence.
