A Historical Sketch of the Reformed Presbyterian Church General Synod

A bRIEF HISTORY OF THE 83 tion feeling discouraged, in 1926, with its pastor, entered the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A. The College, however, for the present made no changes. The above named President and his ever faithful companion in labor remained with the Synod, awaiting the outcome of fu­ ture events. In the meantime they had the care of the Hous­ ton congregation. The denomination had grown weaker, and utterly unable to do more for the College, even if it had been willing. In 1928, the College sought and obtained release from the Synod, and be­ ing unable to enter any other denomination, it has been carry­ ing on up to the present time as an independent institution. The Pre ident having resigned, remained loyal to his Church, and .o the College to which he had given his life through fifty years, and then on June 13, 1944 passed on to receive the CROWN- on as before under the leadership of Rev. F. A. .Turkat, who n e v e r seems to worry or get tired. How different from those o. whom the Psalmist speaks: “Amidst thy congregations thine enemies do roar; Their en.igns they set up for signs of triumph as before. A man was famous, and was had in high estimation, According as he lifted up his axe thick trees upon; But all at once with axes now and hammers they go to, And down the carved work thereof they break, and quite undo.”
