Texas congregation celebrates 100 years

(Temple Daily Telegram, February 29) Following the example of Abraham in the Old Testament, a faithful band of believers in 1916 pitched their tent in east Temple, guided by a promise and hope.

The congregation grew from the evangelistic efforts of the Revs. C.H. White and Leo Ferdinand Maedgen (1880-1964), who conducted a series of tent revivals in Temple. With those successful efforts, the Rev. Hope Giles Land (1873-1928), a carpenter by trade and a preacher by calling, pitched a tent east of the Missouri-Texas-Kansas Railway tracks for two big church meetings on March 12, 1916.
