Rev. H. A. Whitman.
This gentleman, a former pastor
of our Edge6eld Baptist Church,
now pastor of the Unitarian Church
in Charleston, was in Edgefeld on
Saturday and Sunday last. he
came with the intent of preaching
in the courthouse on Sunday, and
for the purpose of promulgating
Unitarian doctrine in this COM
munity, and possibly to establish
a church of that faith in our town.
This, at least, is what we have
heard.
Two Magnificent Sermons.
DR.. Gwaltney preached two mag
nifcent sermons in our Baptist
Church on last Sunday, morning
and night, on the divinity of
Christ, "and those who came to
scof remained to pray" In all
tie mutations, of time and the
changes in their pastorate for
twenty-five years. Edgefeld Bap-
lists, and we may also include all
other denominations, have never
forgotten or outlived their love for
this devout and distinguished d.
vine who, although be has reached
the grand elimacteric of life, is
the same vigorous and eloquent
reasoner, the same earnest and
pathetic pleader that they knew
and loved and followed in the days
that are gone, days when the Rev..
