Baptist Day In Rock Hill.
Last Sunday was a notable day ir
the history of the Baptist denomina-
ton In Rock Hill and the York Bap-
tist Association. On that day the
Park, North Side and West End Bap-
tist churches were dedicated. These
organizations are the direct result OF
a work commenced in Rock Hill
about five years ago by Miss Emma
J. Dowell, lady missionary Of the
BAPTIST State Mission Board. For two
or three years she worked single
work had developed to an extent
that warranted the State Board In
sending Rev. ]. K. Hair there for the
purpose Of reaping where Miss Nc
Dowell had sown. Mr.. Hair was and
is a man of fine ability as preacher
and organizer, and accomplished
wonderful results during the period
of about one year that he was on the
field before he was forced to retire
because Of impaired health. He has
been succeeded by Rev. Alexander
Miller, recently Of Savannah, Ca,
who with his wife has recently taken
charge of the work and the outlook
Is that with the continued help of
Miss Dowell the work will continue to
grow and develop. Following minis
ters took part in the dedication SER
vices: T. M. Bailey, D. D., cor
secretary Of the Baptist
State Mission Board; Rev. Edwin M.
Poteat, D. D., president Of Furman
university; Rev. q. T. Cody, d. D..
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Greenville; Rev. I. G.. Murray, pastor
of the Yorkville Baptist church; Rev.
A. J. S. Thomas, D. D., editor Of the
Baptist Courier; Rev. R. T. Marsh,
pastor Of the First Baptist church,
Rock Hill, and Rev. Alexander Mil
Ter, pastor Of the three churches ded-
that Of the Park church at II a. m.
The sermon was preached by DR.. Po-
teat and those who heard 1t pro-
nounced 1t a gem as to composition,
and effectiveness. The
North side services took place at 400
p m. The sermon was by DR.. Thorn
as, and those who were present con-
sidered themselves especially for
tunate, as it is generally conceded
that the gifted preacher was at his
best and delivered message that
was eminently appropriate and
timely. The West End church was
dedicated in the evening, the sermon
being preached by DR.. Cody. The
building was crowded and nobody
was disappointed as to the force full
ness and logic Of his message, he be-
ing regarded as one Of the most able
preachers of his denomination In the
state, and as a man who always has
to say when he appears
before an audience. These three
churches are all large, handsome and
buildings and were ded-
icated free from debt. Each has a
Sunday-school, their COM
bined membership being between
three and four hundred. DIR. Cody
preached at the First Church on Sun
day morning and Rev. I. G.. Murray
In the evening, and the latter also
preached at North Side in the morn
