THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH OF NEWBERRY

have been reluctant to accede to
he suggestion that | write sketch
Of the First Baptist church Of New
berry, for | have feare1 that / may
thereby incur the charge Of meddlins
In other peoples affairs. But as such
a sketch looks to be appropriate al
this time, on the eve Of the meeting OF
the Baptist State convention, and no
one else has so written since 1890, /
shall attempt, in the few hours al
lowed me, to give some account OF
hat church.
I'VE have a good deal or material
on that subject down to 1890, in Judge
O'Nealps Annals Of Newberry sup
plemented by Dir. John A. Chapman
and Mr.. John B. Carwile's Reminls-
censes of Newberry, and above all, IN
the admirable SemilEentennial Men,
orial address of Rev. Luther Broad
dus, delivered and printed in 1882.
rhe diff is to select from this
mate. lal and to condense the nara
ives within the space Of say, news
paper column. Either of these TWO
things feel very doubtful of my
ability to do properly; but proceed
TO do the best can in the short time
| have.
Although the village Of Newberry
was laid out in 1889 and was thence
forward the county seat, there was no
church building here until the year
1853, and no church organization at
any time except the Presbyterian con-
gregation, which Chancellor Job
Johnstone says existed as far back
as 1922, but which he supposes after
wards fell through The organiza-
ton and building Of Aveleigh Pres0y-
terian church, just east of the town
limits, was in 1885. A few persons
in September, 1881, induced four young
Baptist ministers-Nnholas ".
Hodges. James NJ. Chiles, Josiah Fur
man and John NJ. BarRes-all living
in other districts, to conduct a re-
ligicus meeting in the town. A Stand
was erected and seats arranged IN
the large oak grove about the old
Newberry Male academy, just south
Of Boundary street and west of the
railroad cut and bridge. The ser
vices by these capable and jealous
young men at once drew large and
apreciative audiences, not only from
the village but also from other parts
Of the district. Indeed it is said
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-12-12

.hat there were considerable demon
STATIONS of feeling at some OF the
meetings. On the 3Oth day Of the.
same month the Newberry Baptist
church was organized with forty-four
members. Nine of these. by the way,
we're slaves, and two of them free
negroes And very shortly there
after about forty or more persons ad-
ditional Joined the church. A large
proportion of these converts were
among the wealthiest and most re-
spectacle of the citizens. A church
building, of wood, was speedily erect
ed. and was put to service early III
1892 The church building next erect
ed in the town was that of the Metho-
aists, in 1884.
.Rev. John NJ. Barnes, above men
toned, served as pastor OF the Bap
,.sl c1urch for some three months,
after it's organization and was sue
ceeded by Rev. Nicholas w. Hodges,
above named, who served during the
years 1924 Mr.. Hodges was con-
fessedly of immense value to ms
church and to the cause of religion
here. He was a man of fine talents,
excellent scholarship, great piety and
zeal. He was succeeded by Rev. Dan
lei Mangum-a very capable ana
forceful preacher-in 1885. MI.
Hodges then returned and preached
here in 1897 and part of 1888. In 1889
f,ev. Thomas Frean became the pas
tor and so continued till his removal
to Columola, S. C., in 1912. Mr.. Freau
was a native of County 1ipperary
ireland, and combined with natural
talents and some culture a large
measure of Irish enthusiasm. Per
haps it. was his energetic conduct o.
services that melted me, on my nrst
attendance at church Cat three years
of age, with my nurse, in the gallery
to take an active part IN the singing
And perhaps it was my singing, as
we'll as his friendship for my father,
which led him to write me poem
little later. He was succeeded
(1843-45) by Rev. John Samuel Glib
son, who from an unfavorable begin
ming as an English blacksmith, be-
came a very earnest and effective
preacher.
Rev. Jonn G. Landrum of Spartan
burg was the next pastor-1S46-4i.
He, like his predecessor, Mr.. Gibson,
came here but once month (the
latter coming from his home IN
Greenville district) but held service
both on Saturday and Sunday. Mr..
Landrum was a very able. preacher
and also-which is a very uncommon
concomitant of ability-a very popu-
lar one. He is said to have baptized
FIVE thousand converts during the
fifty-one years of his ministry. 'at-
ter him came Rev. NJ. C. Barnett
(1S4S-49)) who was very faithful and
efficient in his office. 1t is to be
noted as Mr.. Carwile mentions, that
Mr.. Barnett was the first pastor OF
this church who had no other charge, !
and he li> ed four or five miles from |
the town, and taught a school near
his residence.
Rev. John j. Brantly became pas
tor of the church in 1880, and so con-
tinued until the close of the year
1866. He resided in the town, and
except for teaching school for girls
during the War of Secession, gave
his time and effort undoubtedly to
his ministry. This period, with the
exception of four years of war, has
seemed to me a golden age of this |
church. There was a large congrega-

BELGIAN LAD WRITES
OF BREAD PROCURED
BY AMERICAN
(By Associated Press.)

London, Sept. 25 while H G..
Hoover, chairman of the Commission
for the Relief of Belgium, was max
ing his recent tour of inspection of
the relief work of his organization
in Northern France he received a
letter from twelve year old school
girl of Lille, which advanced the
naive view that the Americans were
carrying on the relief work as a tok-
en- of gratitude for the assistance of
the French in the American war Of
independence. A translation of the
letter follows:
''Sir: 1T will be one year the day
after tomorrow since you first pro-
cured good bread for us. The May
5th, lis, when mother came home
with the new bread, we eat it at
once, and we found it so good, for
the bread we had been eating for
such long months was sticky, black
and hard. The mothers of families
were very happy to be able to cheer
their children with such good bread.
And then the rice became our daily
food 1t is no doubt in gratitude to
the French who went to America to
rid America of the English in 1888,
that you are now alleviating our suf-
ferings.
Many, many thanks! Many died
because of the bad bread, and manl
more would have died if you had not
come to our assistance.
Relieve me, Monsieur, etc.

CHANGES BROUGHT
ABOUT BY THE WAR

London, Sept. 25.-Among the
many interesting changes that the
war is bringing in the habits of Lon
doners is that the strong prejudice
against clogs among the poor in
some parts of the metropolis is Civ
ing way before necessity. The fact
accentuates further the revolution
in Londons social habits. and it is
due to the great increase in the cost
of boots and shoes
Clogs are dearer, too, but by only
a fraction of the cost of other fot-
wear.
The absolute refusal heretofore of
the poor to wear clogs as rejecting
their feeling that they were sign
of disgraceful level of poverty or as
the stigma of charity has not until
now been overcome even by their
free distribution to the children in
the schools by charitable organiza-
tions. Indeed, the most ancient and
gaping pair of shoes picked from a
dust heap has been preferred to the
best pair of clogs. There are one or
two clog-shops in London, one of
which is commencing them to the
populace as "Boots with wooden
soles." Though their trade is small,
it is increasing now. Large quanti-
ties of clogs are being turned out by
firms in London, but almost exclu-
siyelv for the country or colonial
trade. One large factory here IS
turning out large quantities or CLOGS
for France this being captured trade
from the Germans.
