Regular readers of this blog know that one of my research interests is Nashville’s Stone-Campbell heritage. Judging from the folks who find my blog by searching for old Nashville churches like Foster Street Christian Church or Vine Street Christian Church or South College Street Church of Christ, I see I am not alone in my [...]

Some weeks ago I searched the Gospel Advocate for 1889 looking, of course, for CEWD, and saw this ad for Lipscomb & Sewell Printers/Publishers. It takes up about half of the back page of the paper and ran in several issues. Thought you’d like to see it. The illustration has at 6 or more classes going on simultaneously. [...]

Here is another installment in my Dorris research. From the February 25, 1954 Gospel Advocate, page 157, the men pictured are the “honor guests” of the 13th Annual Fellowship Dinner at the Lipscomb Lectures. Each having preached more than forty years, the combined number of years preached, Willard says, is near 1300 years. As one I [...]

A kind and generous friend passed along to me a sketch of South Nashville Christian Church, also known as South College Street Christian Church, South Nashville Church of Christ (all interchangeably) and finally, after 1920, Lindsley Avenue Church of Christ. David Lipscomb is an elder here from the beginning until his death in 1917. He preached [...]

In the same vein as my previous post, here is a photo of the group of preachers honored in 1949 by David Lipscomb College for having preached 40+ years.

Note this photo from the Febuary 19, 1948 Gospel Advocate. Among those honored for holding forth 40+ years is, front row far right, Charles Elias Webb Dorris.
