HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE EAST POINT BAPTIST CHURCH

IVIr. Kinley was a man of broad sympathies and included all classes in his social ministry. He had an abiding reverence for sacred things. He spoke as one who realized the deep responsibility of his calling. “Brotherhood” was a favorite watchward with him, and “fellowship” was an outstanding article in his social creed. He was respected by old and young.

Mrs. Kinley was a thoroughly devoted and efficient help-meet. She was a self-sacrificing wife and mother, and created a home atmosphere that molded the character of the children, all of whom in after years walked worthily in the steps of their father and mother. Twenty-eight persons were received into the church during this pastorate.

Three of their sons and two of their daughters are living. Thomas served in the World War; Stewart F. and Earle are prominent Baptist ministers; Mrs. Mary Kinley Ingraham, librarian of Acadia University, and Mrs. Longley are leading workers in the denomination.

REV. HENRY A. MACDONALD, D.D., 1906-1909

Dr. MacDonald was born and reared in the Kingsboro district.

He possessed a keen analytic mind and a generous, brotherly spirit. His conversion added the grace and fineness of religion to a character naturally well-balanced and self-respecting. He was called to the pastor- ate 01c the Kingsboro Baptist Church in 1916 and was rated as a clear and logical preacher, intensely earnest, and one who presented his mes- sage with power. He received his early education in the public schools, and at one time was under the pastoral instruction and wise direction of Dr. Crawford—a prince of preachers in the Disciple Church. He after— wards entered Transylvania University, Kentucky, where he made an honorable record,—being admitted to the exclusive Phi Kappa Psi fra- ternal society. Later his life record was climaxed by being appointed President of Western Kentucky College. In all the important positions he occupied, as preacher, pastor, teacher, and college president, he more than fulfilled the expectations of his friends. He died at the age of seventy—five.
