While in Concord he received overtures from several other fields of labor, and was honored l v being elected the first pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church in Charlotte. In i 883 he was called to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Columbia, S. C, but refused to accept the call. Later in the same year, however, the Church in Columbia prosecuted the call before Presbytery, and after hearing the representatives of both Columbia and Concord, the Presbytery placed the call in his hands and it was accepted. He was pastor of the church in Columbia for two years, during which time, under his able preaching and active services as pastor, its congregations were large and the interests of the church advanced along various important lines. It was during his pastorate here that a lot was purchased and the present handsome and commodious house was erected. Also, by his untiring zeal, a suitable site was purchased about the same time in the western part of the city, upon which a building was placed and Sunday School and Sunday afternoon services were held. This grew to be the Second Presbyterian Church. Dr. McKinnon continued to grow so much in the popular esteem that he had not been long at Columbia before he was elected, in the summer of 1885, to the Presidency of David- son College, being the first alumnus of the College and the second North Carolinian ever elected to the position. His friends and old associates in the Board of Trustees strongly urged him to accept, and a committee was sent by the Board of Trustees to lay the matter before his congregation and request them to consent to his removal, loved and revered though he was. They finally consented to let him go, though with much regret. Upon accepting the Presidency of the College he immediately set himself to the task of rallying the old friends of the College to its support, and though only a few weeks remained before the opening of the next term, the attendance on the first day showed a considerable increase over the enrollment of the previous year and the number of students steadily increased until his enforced retirement at the close of the second year. He endeavored to bind the old friends of the College closer together and to win for it new ones; and to so key up its internal machinery as to give it the greatest capacity for usefulness with the least possible friction. Being fully impressed with the great possibilities of usefulness within the reach of such a center of Christian influence his aim was in labors more abundant to pay the price necessary to realize as far as possible the high ideal set before the College. For three months, as he once said himself, God had never so signally blessed his labors. Hut at the close of this short period of action he was physically disabled by severe disease, which for more than twenty years has rendered him almost helpless. After the first attack, though in weakness and suffering, with the aid of his colleagues and the special assistance of the Vice-President, the late Col. W. J. Martin, he struggled on under the burden of care and labor lor the College till the end of the second year. On tendering his resignation, the Hoard of Trustees declined to accept it and gave him a leave of absence for one year. He was convinced, however, before the close of the year that there was no improvement in his condition and urged the acceptance of his resignation. Though unable by reason ot his pro- tracted invalidism to render the College much service, no one perhaps rejoices more in the great prosperity that has come to it under the able administration of his successors. In t he summer of 1886 the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by the University of North Carolina and also by the Southwe stern Presbyterian University of Tennessee. Dr. McKinnon ' s present home is in Clinton, N. C.
