C. A. Taylor: Ninetieth Birthday Testimonial Dinner Matthew Morrison Campbell Allen Taylor, son of pioneer gospel preacher, George G. Taylor, and long-time soldier of Christ in the Louisville area, will be the honoree at a testimonial dinner celebrating his ninetieth birthday, Monday evening, November 9, at 7:30 P.M., E.S. T., at the Holiday Inn, 927 So. Second Street, Louisville, Ky. Brother Taylor was born November 11, 1874, on a farm near Fisherville, Jefferson County, Ky., where his father preached. George G. Taylor had studied at Bethany College under AJexander Campbell; his youngest of five children was n am e d after this much respected teacher. C. A. Taylor has always consciously lived by C. A. Taylor his father's motto: "I would rather fall straight than stand crooked." He recalls his early life:
"If my life has any real meaning to my friends or if the world has been in the slightest degree aware of my presence, I hope it is in the realm of religious truth that I will be remembered. At the age of eleven I became a member of the church. Faithful churches then were called by the name 'Christian Church'; but Satan was at work then, as now, and well do I remember the bitter feeling and hot discussion over the 'organ' and 'society' questions. I do not know just when the name of the faithful churches was changed to 'churches of Christ' but my father, George G. Taylor, Brethren M. C. Kurfees, James A. Harding, George Butler and others often sat in our living room and talked well into the night of the division developing in our churches."
As a young man Brother Taylor came to Louisville to find work. He tells of his growth in the Lord:
"When I left home to live in Louisville, my father suggested I promptly contact his 'good friend,' M. C. Kurfees, minister at Campbell Street church, and this I did. It was one of the most fortunate things I ever did; for perhaps no other man, except my father, has meant so much to me.''
Those acquainted with the history of the Lord's church in Louisville know of the dark days of hobbyism, division and apostasy that have befallen her. At present, the improving condition is made possible because of the stedfast few who refused to "bow unto Baal." On every issue that has troubled the church in Louisville, C. A. Taylor, with the courage and forthrightness of Elijah, has stood on solid ground. When R. H. Boll's premillennial theories were featured and pressed in Louisville, 1914-1918, C. A. Taylor and R. 0. Rubel refused to support such teaching and voiced their objections at the Highland church where they were members. T. Q. Martin, writing about these incidents later in the Christian Leader, said:
"In May, 1918, (Don Carlos) Janes, (E. L.) Jorgenson and their associates in the Highlands church, Louisville, Ky., withdrew Christian fellowship from R. 0. Rubel and C. A. Taylor, two as fine specimens of Christian manhood as I have ever known. This piece of high-handed wickedness was pretty thoroughly discussed in the Gospel Advocate of June 20, and 27 and October 10, 1918. The Haldeman Avenue congregation and hundreds of other brethren condemned that presumptuous course knowing that the reason for such action against these excellent brethren was their opposition to the speculative guesses about unfilled prophecy that these disturbers of the churches were and are still pressing.''
The Bardstown Road congregation was started soon after by Brother Taylor and about thirty-five others from the Highland church. On April 17, 1953, Robert Welch, James L. Bersot and others attempted to gain possession of the Bardstown Road church property in the interest of the anti combine in Louisville. They followed the same course of action that the premillennial group took thirty-five years earlier. C. A. Taylor and others were successful, however, in defeating this attempt. The resulting faction formed what is now known as the Wendell Avenue church. C. A. Taylor is still active in his insurance business, being presently associated with Hayes and Foster Insurance Agency, 310 West Liberty Street. He was actively engaged in the furniture business from 1902-1924. As Chairman of the Market Street Improvement Association, Brother Taylor was successful in having Market Street repaved and lighted. That street was referred to as the "Long White Way." The Louisville Herald, in a feature article, said:
"December 1, 1912, will long be remembered as the first night the lights were turned on for the Long White Way, for there never has been and possibly never will be again such an immense crowd on Market Street from First to Seventh, as turned out to see the beautiful new standards all lighted up, to hear the two big bands playing up and down the street riding in wagons each drawn by six elegant show horses and to visit the stores all along the street where open house was in order.''
Mr. Taylor was Secretary of the Citizens Hotel Company, a corporation formed to erect the Kentucky Hotel, in 1924. He has served as County Court Clerk and County Buyer. Brother Taylor's devoted Christian wife of sixty-one years, Frances Lynn, passed away in 1959. He has been blessed with a fine family. His children are, sons, Allen C., Louisville, C. Lynn, Galveston, Texas, George G, Indianapolis, and daughter, Mrs. Frances Peters, with whom he lives in Louisville. Adron Doran, President of Morehead State College, will deliver the keynote speech. J. M. Powell will be the Master of Ceremonies. W. L. Totty, Norman Trevathan and the writer will also speak at the dinner. Tickets are $2.50 and should be ordered promptly. Check or money order payable to Taylor Testimonial Dinner. Mail to Mr. Frank L. Pearl, 502 Kentucky Home Life Building, Louisville, Ky. 40202. ---Gospel Advocate, October 22, 1964, pp. 676-77.
