HomeMy WebLinkAboutA&M United Methodist 121503b'RHILE THE A&M METHODIST CHURCH. WAS STING IN THE OLD TABERNACLEE,J. GORDON GAY,
SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT, ASKED ME TO SEW UP 150 YARDS OF MONKS CLOTH TO MAKE CURTAINS
TO SEPARATE PARTS OF THE CHURCH INTO CLASS ROODS. AT THAT TIME I HAD AN OLD - FASHIONED
TREADLE SEWING MACHIN SO I SEWED AND SEWED. TEE CURTAINS NERE NOT UP LONG UNTIL WE STARTED
THE NEW CHURCH BUILDING. I WAS RATHER ANNOYED ABOUT ALL THE WORK, BUT GORDON PUT THE
MiATERIAL TO GOOD USE, IT IS NOW IN THE VENTS OVER THE DOORS ON EACH SIDE OF THE NAVE WHERE
LEI, SOUND COMES OUT FROM THE ORGAN SPEAKERS. THE MATERIAL MS VERY DIRTY .AND WIZEN, I AM
SURE, BUT IS STILL IN USE.

WHEN THE YOUNG BACHELOR MINISTER WALTON GARDNER CAME TO THE OLD TABERNACLE TO
PREACH FOR US, THE AGGIES WARNED HIM NOT TO PREACH TOO LONG BECAUSE THEY HAD TO MARCH IN
FORMATION TO THE MES4±ALL AT NOON. NONE OF THEM HAD CARS AND THEY NEEDED TIME TO WALK TO
SBISA HAIL • REV. GARDNER GOT A LITTLE TOO ENTHUSIAETIC_,THAT FIRST SUNDAY AND PREACHED
CADETS
UNTIL 12100. AT THAT TIME THE /ROSE IN A BODY, FORMED IN LINE DOWN TEE AISLE AND MARCHED
IN STEP (HEF HEP) OUT OF THE CHURCH. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE SERMONS WERE OUT ON TIME
AFTER THAT
