HISTORICAL SKETCH of The Salem Congregation and its Churches. The glow of a Great Revival— the Revival of ''The Thirteenth of August 1727" was upon the souls of the men and women who gathered just one hundred and fifty years ago to dedicate a new house of worship in the vast Colonial wilderness. We can never understand their work or appreciate their motives from a purely secular point of view. Had they been immigrants of the usual type, they would never have come to the remote district of North Carolina, which we fondly call Wachovia. They were men of various gifts, farmers, mechanics, professional men, scholars; and women too of noblest kind and finest ability. But they never would have thought of settling in this distant wilderness, and enduring its pioneer hardships, if it had not been for the re- ligious fervour which filled their souls. They were the inheritors of a great joy and a sweet peace in Jesus Christ. They had come on their long and weary ways to find a spot where they could live happily together, as the forgiven children of the heavenly Father, dwelling in the sunshine of the grace of His dear Son, our Lord, and enjoying the daily comforts of His Holy Spirit. They came from various lands across the seas not to live unto themselves alone, but for the religious benefit of their scattered fellow colonists, and for the Indian and the slave. It was under the influence of these high joys, these sweet emotions of peace, these noble purposes toward their fellow men, that in 1771 they built what was called the ''Congregation House," but what, in modern days would have been called "The Institutional Church," a building in which they wrought at the Lord's business on all the seven days of the week. In one end of the two-storied building, two pastors' fam- ilies lived, in the other end the young women and older girls. In the centre there was a school for little girls, the beginning of the famous Salem College, and the Meeting Hall, which served for all occasions of public worship until the present "Home" Church was erected in 1800 for the needs of the growing community. On November 13, 1771 this "Congregation House" was dedicated with great joy. All the settlers of Wachovia were present to the number of three hundred. There was an early morning service of song and prayer; then the lovefeast at noon, when the va- rious officers of the newly formed Congregation were announced ; then the public meet- ing in which a slave was baptized wlio had declared that he always wanted to live with those who had been so kind to him and had led him to the Saviour; then the Holy Com- munion was celebrated and the congregation dispersed to their nearer or more distant homes, with a blessed joy in their souls. For nearly a hundred years this body of people were simply called "The Salem Congregation ; ' ' then as the city of Winston-Salem rapidly grew, the members began to go forth into their new Church organizations, respectively called, Calvary, Christ Church, Fairview, Trinity, and Fries Memorial, and those who were left in the first old- est organization, almost as by a common instinct said, we will call ourselves the "Home Church," so that when the children come back out of their several places of worship, they may always feel themselves — ' ' at home. ' ' Wall THE HOME CHURCH AVith something of a mother's love for her children, the Home Church has always given liberally to the churches of Salem Congregation, not only of her finances but of her membership and service. In every instance it was workers from the Home Church who went out to establish Sunday Schools in neglected portions of the rapidly growing community, and from these schools sprang the flourishing churches of today. And often to the organization of the new congregations she gave some of her ablest and most consecrated w^orkers. But the Lord has greatly prospered her, and in this sesqui-centennial year her mem- bership totals more than eleven hundred communicants and a grand total of more than 1,300 souls under the spiritual care and oversight of the Board of Elders. The enroll- ment in all departments of the Sunday School exceeds 900 and the M='ork is thoroughly organized. The present church building which had been erected in 1800 and had served the congregation well for more than a century, was enlarged and greatly improved in 1913; and a large and well-equipped Sunday School Building, known as the Rondthaler Memorial after Bishop Rondthaler its beloved former pastor, was added. In addition to the wide activities at home, much work is being done on the foreign -field through our ''own" missionaries and native workers. Ministering as the Home Church has for more than a century and a quarter to the students of Salem Academy and College the influence of her service has been widely felt throughout the Southland. Though old in years, her spirit is young and her interest keen, and she enters upon the new era of her life and service with zeal and high purpose for her Head and Saviour. CALVARY CHURCH Calvary represents the result of the first effort of the mother congregation to ex- tend her usefulness to the new town of Winston. Under the direction of Bishop Emil de Schweinitz, the work w^as undertaken, ser- vices being held under an outdoor shelter put up in the dense woods of the Moravian reservation, now the Calvary grounds. Services were next held in Tise's hall and a Sunday School was later begun in the school building corner Liberty and First streets. In 1888, the work became the joint concern of Bishop Edward Rondthaler and Bro. James Lineback — Sunday School promoter. The Boards of the Salem Congregation se- lected the site for the building here shown which was erected at a cost of -$10,000 and dedicated December 8, 1889. Calvary was the sweet name chosen for the new enter- prise to which the first resident pastor. Rev. A. D. Thaeler, came in 1892. The work has greatly prospered under the favor of God. Besides being fully self- supporting, Calvary now helps to sustain the general work of Salem congregation and has a resident and missionary pastor. The Sunday School numbers over 600 and church membership over 700 souls. Bro. Thaeler after 12 years was succeeded by Bro. E. S. Crosland and he, in turn, by Bro. Edmund Schwarze, in 1916. The Sunday School and church have outgrown the original building, and a large building-fund is under way for a proposed beautiful and commodious church and Sun- day School building. Thus Calvary stands today the monument of the faith and effort of consecrated men and women who built better than they knew. CHRIST CHURCH Christ Church was begun in the year 1893 as a work of faith, in that section which lay at the extreme western edge of old Salem. A map of that period shows many open fields and unbroken forest with here and there a few scattered homes. As there was much doubt whether a Church could possibly succeed at this then dis- tant point, the work was commenced as a Sunday School and Prayer Meeting enter- prise, in a three-room building so constructed that it could be readily altered and used as a residence should the work not prove successful. This house stood on the present parsonage site, about one-half mile due west of the Home Church at the corner of Academy and Green streets. From the very beginning the blessing of God rested wonderfully upon the work. The little building with its Saturday night prayer meeting and Sunday morning Sun- day School was soon crowded to the doors. During the very first summer a tent addi- tion became necessary, and soon the plans were laid for the present church, the corner- stone of which was laid on July 21, 1895. This part of the Salem Congregation has with the 25th of October 1921 rounded out its quarter century. Christ Church now has more than 400 communicant members working together with a spirit of unity whiijh has made possible the fine Sunday School Building which has been erected at a cost of more than $20,000, more than two-thirds of which came directly out of the congregation and all of which has been paid in full. FAIRVIEW CHURCH Fairview was also begun as a Sunday School work in the extreme northern part of the city, in a section where there was no Sunday School but where others had tried and given up in discouragement. On May 5th, 1895 the first session was held under the superintendeney of the vet- eran Sunday School organizer, Bro. James T. Lineback, in an old chapel on what was then Pearl street, now Nineteenth street. On September 22nd the first sermon was preached by the pastor Dr. H. E. Rondthaler. He was followed during the years by the Brn. J. K. Pfohl, C. H. Wenhold and the present pastor. In 1899 the school had outgrown the temporary quarters and the present site of the church on North Liberty street was purchased and the corner stone laid on Oct. 7, 1900, the money being raised among Fairview members which was a new departure from the previous undertaking of Salem Congregation. While everything was paid for at the time, the church was not dedicated till July 12th, 1908, when the congregation was organized with 119 communicants. During that year the corner lot was bought and the J. M. Cummings' house on the north side of the church was remodeled for a parsonage. The present pastor moved into it on January 12, 1909 and became the first resident pastor in that part of the city. The annex to the church was built in 1909. Fairview now has 418 communicants, and a Sunday School that has completely out- grown its quarters. The size of the school is only limited by the capacity of the build- ing. A Building Fund is being gathered and we hope in the near future to have a build- ing adequate to our needs in one of the most populous sections of our city. Fairview is most favorably situated on a good corner on one of the main arteries of the city and under the continued blessing of God it will have a far-reaching influence for good in the rapidly developing community which it serves. TRINITY CHURCH In the latter part of the year 1885 several good women of the Home Church be- came interested in the little settlement known as Centerville, or South Salem, They found great need for religious teaching in this neglected portion of the community. On Sunday, March 21, 1886, the Sunday School was opened in a small rented house. The interest proved so great that better accommodations were demanded. No- vember 28, 1886, saw the building known for many years as Centerville Chapel ready for dedication to the Lord's service. With faithful service by ministers and laymen, the chapel for many years wielded a great influence for good in the community. The South Winston-Salem section of the city by the year of 1910 showing such re- markable growth and promise for the future, it was deemed wise to place the Moravian work on a better footing and thus serve the growing number of people. Accordingly, steps were taken which led to the erection of a new building. On Oc- tober 1st, 1911, at a meeting of Centerville congregation, ''Trinity" was decided upon as a name for the new church. On May 12, 1912, the building was opened for worship. Meanwhile the energetic pastor, Rev. E. C. Stempel, had been busy, together with the faithful congregation, in assembling the Moravians of the community and on July 14th, 1912, Trinity Congregation was organized. There has been uninterrupted progress in the work of Trinity. From the small be- ginning in 1886 the congregation has grown until its membership numbers more than three hundred. In 1919 Trinity 's first pastor was succeeded by Rev. Douglas L. Rights, present min- ister at this charge. FRIES MEMORIAL CHURCH This latest of the church building enterprises of the Salem Congregation, represents the culmination of more than forty years of faithful Sunday School and congregational effort on the East Side. The beginnings of the enterprise go back to 1876, when Mrs. Esther Linthicum White started a Sunday School in the kitchen of her home for the instruction of her son and the children of the neighborhood. Rev. Geo. E. Bahnson the first superintendent was succeeded in 1877 by the lay-brother Henry E. Eries, whose service has been con- tinuous since that time and who has been ably assisted by his devoted wife. For many years, the work was carried on in the East Salem Chapel, from which the congregation removed in 1914 to the splendid new building, erected during the pastorate of Rev. Edmund Schwarze, 'and named in honor of its efficient and long-time superintendent, Fries Memorial Church. The church occupies a commanding position in the center of a rapidly growing com- munity and has a wide field for service. Rev. Clarence E. Romig who labored with great zeal for the past five years, and was instrumental in bringing the church into touch with many new residents, has been succeeded by Rev. Herbert B. Johnson, under whose pastorate it is expected to extend the service into even wider spheres. The present communicant membership numbers nearly two hundred and fifty souls, while its total Sunday School enrollment, including all departments, is but little under four hundred.
