A&M Methodist
Open New
Sanctuary
Opening service in the A&M
Methodist Church’s new Sanctuary
will be held this Sunday at 11 a.
m. with Rev. James F. Jackson
conducting the service.
* This will be the first of two
"openings” which the church will
have with the formal and statewide
opening coming on November 11.
Regular services are to be held in
‘the church during Sunday.
Rev. Jackson’s sermon will be
"Our Church Speaks.”
At the scheduled statewide open
ing, gifts from throughout the
state and local area will be recog
nized, Rev. Jackson said, but Sun
day’s service is set primarily for
the convenience of the A&M stu
dents and the local congregation.
The A&M Methodist Church
was first organized in 1919 when
the First Methodist Church of
Bryan, with Rev. P. T. Ramsey
as pastor, appropriated $500 for
its start. In 1920, Rev. King
Vivian became the first pastor,
land the present tabernacle was
built in 1923 under the ministry
of Rev. Jesse Thompson.
" A campaign was started in 1939
by both the local church and the
Methodist Student Organization of
Texas, the Wesley Foundation, to
provide funds for the construction
of a permanent plant.
Rev. James Carlin and Rev.
Clen Flinn were the leaders in the
campaign.
The building plans set fourth by
the joint-groups were for the con-
struction of a student center, yet
to be constducted; an education
building which was completed and
occupied in 1948; and the Sanc
tuary which has now been complet
ed at a cost of $175,000.
Cost of the church plant and
grounds represents an invest
ment of about $325,000.
Several charter members of the
church will be on hand for the
first service among whom are A.
Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Burk-
halter, and Miss Clarice Hassell.
Ministers who have served the
litl'al church since its organization
include King Vivian, Jesse Thomp
son, R. L. Jackson, James Carlin,
Walton Gardner, R. C. Terry, and
the present minister James Ft
Jvckson. Directors of student work
have been Burton Smith, Gene
Brackney, Carlos Davis, Asburry
Lenox, Travis Baker, and Bob
Sneed.

Building Churches Routine
For Methodist Minister
Building churches isn’t a new job program. Born the fourth of five
for the Rev. James F. Jackson, children in Cordele, Georgia in
minister of the A&M Methodist 1908, Mr. Jackson attended var-
Church. Sunday, the new addition ious schools in the Peach State
to the local church will be open, and received his high school diplo-
It was while he lived in Georgia ma at Bainbridge, Ga. After work-
and was sent to be minister at ing as a salesman and attending
the Methodist Church in Eastman, the University of Oglethorpe, Geor-
Ga. that Mr. Jackson first started gia, for a short time, he decided to
on the road of building churches.
At that time it was a rebuilding
job, for the original church had
burned. He remained there for
two and a half years.
“Ours is a two fold purpose in
College Station,” Mr. Jackson said
when he first came to A&M.” We
are here to serve the church, the
constituency, and the members of
the church, and through the inter
ested members of this church—to
serve the A&M College.”
It was without question that
Mr. Jackson would step into the
ministry. His father and his
father’s father were both min
ister’s as was his father’s broth-
The father has carried on
for over fifty-three
years.
Having come to College Station
in the spring of 1947, Mr. Jack-
son has seen with the aid of the
Wesley foundation complete it’s
first step in their local building
enter the ministry.
While attending Mercy College
also in Georgia, he acted as a stu
dent minister for several churches.
He received his BA with a major
in Christianity in 1934.
He began work on his master’s
degree at Mercy, but later trans-

Construction got underway officially when President Emeritus
F. C. Bolton dug the first spade full of earth on the site of the new
A&M Methodist Church’s new sanctuary. Under construction for
over a year the Methodists will have their first chance to worship
in the new building Sunday. It is the second step in a proposed
three part plan. The first part, the educational building, has been
in operation several years. The final part will be a student center,
which will be started later. On the right is the new building and
on the left is an artist idea of what the new three unit church will
look like.

oodrow almost bit ofT more than he could chew
when he tackled the cigarette tests! But he pecked
away ’til he smoked out the truth: Such an
important item as mildness can’t he tossed off in a
fleeting second! A “swift sniff” or a “perfunctory
puff” proves practically nothing! He, like millions of
smokers, found one test that doesn’t leave you up a tree.
It's the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness
Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your
steady smoke —on a day-after-day basis. No snap
judgments! Once you’ve enjoyed Camels for 30 days
in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat, T for Taste),
you'll see why...
After all the Mildness tests...
