On Sunday morning, April 5. less
than two years following the open
ling the Methodist church, the
splendid new house of worship
erected by the Baptist denomination
was formally opened. So at this
Easter season the Christian people
of Kingstree should feel that the
spirit of the Lord has been abun-
dainty in their midst, and they
should especially praise His name.
The opening of the Baptist church
here Sunday was most glorious
occasion for the members of the
cult in this vicinity, and came as the
fulflment of a long, earnest desire
on the part of each and every men,
ber that they might have suitable
house in which to worship, and also
as a crowning reward for the hard,
earnest work of the pastor, Rev w E
Hurt, to whose untiring efforts, more
than to any other, the new church
owes it's completion.
The building of this magnificent
church was not altogether accom-
plished by the Baptist denomination,
as Mr. Hurt assured his large con-
gregation Sunday, when he express
ed his profound thanks to the people
of Kingstree, regardless of denomi-
nation, for the liberal support and
cooperation shown him since the
undertaking of the new building.
He reminded his hearers that the
building of the first Baptist church
in Williamsburg county was made
possible by a good Presbyterian
elder, and stated that that denoml-
nation had literally contributed
towards the building of the present
temple. Methodists, Episcopalians,
and members of other denominations
who have no church here, likewise
contributed literally.
Several days in advance prepara-
tons for the opening of the church
were under way. A large choir of the
best singers in town practiced special
music, and the pastor, MIR Hurt, was
busy securing representative men of
the Baptist faith from other parts
of the State to assist him upon the
occasion, and in arranging the lesser
details, which he did most minutely.
