Excerpt from The Centennial History of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church: 1803-1903 The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod, at its meeting in Chester, South Carolina, November both to 14th, 1898. appointed the Rev. James Royce, John T. Chalmers, D. I., and Rev. T. G. Royce. Dr. J. I. McCain and J. E. McDonald, Esq., a committee on centennial celebration. The Syntax at its meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, the following year, adopted the report of this committee and among other things provided for the "beatification of a centennial history, to contain sketches of all congregations and pastors in connection at any time with the Synod." and appointed the Rev. O. Y. Boner, Rev. S. A. Agnew, D. D. and Rev. W. M. Hunter the editors of this volume. Vacancies on this committee have occurred from time to time. The death of Dr. Agnew and the resignation of Rev. O. Y. Bonner left only Rev. W.M. Hunter as a member of the original committee. At the Synod of 1902, at Pisgah, North Carolina, the Rev. J. C. (Galloway, D. D., was elected chairman of the committee, and at various times the following names have been added to the committee: Rev. J. V. Raird, Rev. C.E. McDonald, Rev. J. S. Mills, Rev. J. L. Young, Rev. C. S. Young, Rev. H. R. Likely, Rev. I. S. Caldwell and Rev. R. H. Grier. All of these brethren have done faithful work, but the patience and perseverance of the Rev. Dr. Galloway and the Rev. V. M. Hunter deserve special mention. They have been unwearied in their search for historical data and Munich of the completeness and historical accuracy of those sketches are due to their painstaking efforts. It is with genuine satisfaction that the volume is now offered to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
