The mission heard the Rev,
David F. Cooper, pastor of Holy
Trinity church, Mt. Pleasant.
St. Matthews has seen nearly
L so years of growth in Whining
ton, according to records furnish
ed by the Rev. Mr.. Huddle.
Beginning as a Sunday school
on North Fourth street, April 13,
1890 under the direction of the
Rev. F. w. E. Peschau, the
church did not allow the ill
omend day under which it start
ed to deter from its continuous
progress.
The congregation was formal
ly organized nearly two years
later on March 81, 1892, and the
Rev. G. D. Bernheim was called
as pastor, and took over the
charge in April of that year.
There were 10 charter mem
bers, and the roll has grown
until today there are over 200
baptised members and approx
malely 17u confirmed members.
Ministers who have served the
pastorate are:
The Rev. Mr.. Bernheim; the
i Rev. C. w. Kegly; the Rev. G.
S. Beardin; the Rev. H. E. Beat
ty; the Rev. G. W. McClanahan;
the Rev. B. E. Petrea; the Rev.
E. F. K. Roof; the Rev. E. K.
Bodie; the Rev. c. H. Fisher,
and the Rev. Mr.. Huddle.
The first worship place for
the congregation of St. Matthews
which could be termed a church
house was a frame chapel at 919
N. Fourth street, the cornerstone
of which was laid March 80, 1891,
lone year after the conception of
the group as a Worshlptul con-
gregation.
To this building additions of
classrooms were made and the
congregation continued to grow
. til in 1910 it was decided to
s:ate the church in another
place.
The decision was spurred on,
the records show by fire which
partially destroyed the original
building, SO in February, 1912
the new church was opened to
the public as a place of worship.
! The $4,000 edifice was dedi-
Gated exactly three years later,
free of indebtedness for it's con-

SISTER LE0NARD'S
BELMONT BURIAL
Oldest Nun OF Community
Is Laid To
Rest

Funeral services for Sister
| Veronica Leonard of the Sisters
of Mercy of Belmont were held
Wednesday morning. Sister Yer
onica was the oldest nun in the
community, having entered in
1887 in Hickory before the con-
gregation became established in
Belmont. For many years she
taught and was in charge of
schools in Wilmington, Charlotte
and Belmont. She is remember
ed by many as an able teacher
and a gracious friend. She is the
last of her immediate family.
The customary services for the
dead began with the solemn
chanting of the Office for the
dead, which consists of selections
from the Psalms and the Book
of Job, and solemn prayers of
the church which were formulat-
ed prior to the Eighth century
and are used in connection with
the funeral obsequies OF a reli-
gious. Three masses were offer
ed in the Convent chapel at
Sacred Heart and in each chapel
of the congregation.
At ten thirty the body was re-
moved to the Abbey cathedral,
where a solemn Requiem Mass
was sung by the Benedictine
Schola. Father Sebastian, the
chaplain of Sacred Heart college,
was the celebrant, father Gregory
was the deacon and father An
drew the sub-deacon. In the san
ctuary were many Benedictine
PRIESTS and visiting clergy. The
Mass was attended by the nuns
and pupils of Sacred Heart,
friends and former pupils of the
deceased. Interment was in the
SISTERS section of the Abbey
cemetery.

PASTORS EXPRESS
GRIEF AT LOSSES
Baptist Association Pays
Tribute To Minis
terS

The Pastors conference OF
the Wilmington Baptist soci-
alton this week expressed its
grief at losing four pastors re-
Gently.
he resolution was signed by
the Rev. T. H. King, pastor OF
the Winter Park Baptist church
and William Poole and J. K.
Woody, Jr.
The statement follows:
"This Conference has lost re.
Gently four of its esteemed
members, and this Association
has lost four Of it's faithful pas
tors"
"Rev. Paul Nix has been pas
tor of Maffitt illage Baptist
church since its organization
four years ago. he church has
done well since it's beginning.
Its growth and development in
many respects have been un-
usual. Brother Nix has proved
himself to be a wise and ef-
ficient pastor and leader. He
has resigned to return to col
lege for further prepar alton"
Brother Woodrow Robbins
has resigned his church at Le-
land for an inviting field in
High Point. In this first pastor
ate, Brother Robbins did a good
work. He is an earnest, vigor-
Gus pastor and pastor evange-
list. He majors in evangelism,
and with signal success. The
church grew rapidly under his
leadership"
"Rev. c. E. Baker came to
Tabernacle church five years
ago. On account of its location,
the church has a narrow field,
but substantial progress has
been made under Brother
Bakers leadership. He has dis
played marked ability as a
preacher and leader. He goes
to a large, full-time country
church in the Raleigh associ-
alton"
"Rev. J. N. Evans leaves
Wallace for a promising field in
Greenville, South Carolina. The
progress of the work at Wallace
during his pastorate has been
phenominal. This church has
come to be one of tn e bes
churches in the association, and
one of the foremost small town
churches in the state. Brother
Evans and his good wife are
greatly loved in Wallace and N
our association. They will be
leaders anywhere. He is an I'M
usually able preacher, and a
wise, aggressive, efficient pas
tor. Mrs. Evans is outstanding
as a leader in W.M.U. and
Training Union work. They will
be greatly missed in our asso-
ciation."
"Resolved that this confer
ence feels keenly it's losses as
these faithful and beloved pas
tors leave us. and that our love,
interest, prayers and best wish
es will follow them in their new
fields"
