ciety. decided them one acre OF land
in what was then Edgecombe Coun-

fearing body of men and women
! have consistently worshipped their
God in this locality. Il is, we think.
entirely in place to say that this

the blessings and benedictions of
Christian motherhood, which is the
greatest of all human blessings. This
or its way, quietly, peacefully, low
ingly serving their God, and as the
Elders went to their rewards, sons
and daughters show their devotion
to the faith of their fathers and have
made no halt, no backward step but
have gone on and on until this good
hour. In place of the old Church
which on account of being crowded
out by the business houses, has been
disposed of and new house of wor-
ship built on the corner of Green
and Jackson streets, al cost of ap-
proximately fifty thousand dollars.
This wonderful work which looked
impossible was intrusted to the
hands of a few real men of God,
! who trusted implicitly in His good
ness and mercy and this little hand
full of men have accomplished what
looked to be impossible in erecting
this beautiful church home. This
short sketch would be too incomplete
did we not mention the names of
Elder S. B. Denny, chairman, Will
liam Woodard, treasurer, F. j..
Roberts, ]. w. Thorne, Elder ]. F..
Farmer, comprising the building
committee. William Woodard and
Elder J. F. Farmer did not live to
see their labor fully rewarded, but
the others are spared to see the
completion of this church house.
The committee contracted the work
to ]. L. Grouse, general contractor,
G. V. Jones being Construction super
intendent; and just here it should be
said that the superintendent nor his
helpers were ever heard to take the
Lords name in vain on this work
The building was designed and su-
pervised by G. D. Hutchins of s. B.
