A. B. PHILIPPS, Deceased,
Augusta, Ga. |
|
A. B. Phillips, minister of the First Church,
Augusta, Georgia, died of heart failure on December
28, 1903, after an illness of but two days.
He was one of the most promising of our young
men in the ministry. He was a graduate of Bethany
College and later of Union Theological Seminary,
New York City, from which institution he
graduated with distinction. He was minister
of the church at Wellsburg, W. Va., Greenpoint,
Brooklyn, N. Y., assistant to B. B. Tyler at West
Fifty-sixth Street, New York City, South Prospect
Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., Fulton, Mo.. and
Augusta, Ga. During his ministry at the South
Prospect Church, Kansas City, an elegant stone
building was erected. The First Church at Augusta,
Ga., prospered greatly under his labors,
and more than quadrupled its missionary offerings
during his ministry. He loved to give addresses
for our Missionary Societies whenever
asked and was a special champion of our Church
Extension Work. He gave the address at Minneapolis,
at the National Convention on Church
Extension Institutes under the auspices of that
Board. A great light has gone out, and thousands
of people will miss his glad smile and his
happy Christian disposition. May the comforting
influences of the Holy Spirit be with his young
wife and his two little children.
