Ref E C Andrews

He Came To Build Our third pastor the Rev EC Andrews came here to convert sinners which

he did very effectively He came here to increase the membership of the Baptist Church which he did He came here to teach the Baptists how to be good stewards how to work

hard save their pennies and invest in the work of the Lord He was successful in this too

He came here to help the Baptists build their own place of worship The Junior Hall over Smiths Drug on South Main Street no longer was adequate in size or in appearance The Cannon Hall at the new YMCA was not large enough to acshycommodate our congregation either

The Rev Mr Andrews arrived here from Plymouth in January 1912 During the latter part of 1911 our interim pastor was a noted Salisbury minister the Rev J N Stallings

For several weeks the Andrews family lived with Mr and Mrs CW Wright After the arrival of household furnishings the pastor moved his family into a Cannon house on Chestnut A enue

The Rev Mr Andrews was you ng 3G Seven years before coming here he married Miss Mary Wilson of O xford She was active in the church wherever he served They had young children who kept them fecling young

AMONG SOUTHERN BAPTISTS Vol 1 ---1936-37

by John S Ramond

REV E C ANDREWS

Rev E C Andrews a former pastor of Ivy Memorial Church in Newport

News died on Friday December 3rd at Marion Md where he had been

pastor for several years He has many friends in this state and North

Carolina where he has served nobly in former years

RELIGIOUS HERALD December 16

Page 221

This minister was experienced at preaching with emphasis on evangelism

-

Born in Chatham County near Pittsboro he attended Mars Hill College Wake Forest College and the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville Ky

Thomas J Taylors history of the Tar River Baptist Association pointed out that while a student at Wake Forest the Rev Mr Andrews served as pastor of the following churches Ephesus in the Mount Zion Association where he baptizshyed about 40 Sulphur Springs in the Tar River Association where about 65 were baptized and Sandy Creek in the Tar River Association where about 50 were added to the church by baptism

Following his graduation from seminary the Rev Mr Andrews became pastor at Swansboro in 1904 and went to Plymouth three years later

The energetic minister was ready for his first challenge as a builder that faced him as our minister but he did not let this interfere with his preaching and his zeal for evangelism

The Concord Times reported on April 15 1912 Bricks are being placed on the fround for a new Baptist Church which will

be built near the Cannon Hall (YM CA) and it will be built at a cost of about $7000 which will be in keeping with the other buildings that are being built

The same newspaper reported in its June 14 1912 issue The Rev EC Andrews pastor of the Baptist Church in Kannapolis closed a

two weeks revival meeting resulting in 92 additions to the church Dr CS Blackwell of Richmond Va did the preaching

The first item demonstrated the faith the Baptists had Bricks were being placshyed on the ground which the congregation didnt own but d~pendedmiddot iiponGod to provide

The second item was evidence that the Rev Mr Andrews was pursuing his first love - and the first mandate of the calling of a minister in those times A couple of hours set aside at nifht for fire and brimstone preaching and the singing of eome-to-the-altar hymns simply began a revival The days were spent pleading with sinners to come hear the Vord believe and repent and urging new Christians to get busy in the work of the Lord

He was also known as a disciplinarian and discipline began in his own home Mrs WH Riddle recalled a service during which the Rev Mr Andrews son

Clessie who was 10 or 12 years old was talking so much and so loudly that he was giving his father quite a bit of competition

Preacher Andrews ran out of patience before Clessie ran out of words He left the pulpit lifted Clessie by the nape of the neck and marched him through the door back of the pulpit After a few minutes had passed and Clessie was given a spanking the youngster was seated beside his mother Mr Andrews finished his sermon as though nothing had happened Never again did he have competition from Clessie
