HISTORY OF ROSEMARY
BAPTIST CHURCH
BY MRS. T. NJ. JENKINS

During the year of 1902, when
Rev. G. T. Lumpkin was pastor
of the First Baptist Church of
Roanoke Rapids, he organized
a Sunday school in Rosemary,
which met each Sunday after
noon in an empty house on Jack
son street, owned by the Rose
mary Manufacturing Company.
Sands w. Gayle, who was at
that time prominent young law
yer of Roanoke Rapids, was its
first superintendent, and his
great interest in the Lords work
caused him to devote much of
his time and thought to the
Sunday school
Rev. Lumpkin started move
ment to build a church in Rose
mary, and raised for this pur-
pose 100000. A portion of this
fund was provided by the First
Baptist Church. Rev. Lumpkir
worked each day with the work
men in order to make the amour,
raised meet the bills necessary
to complete the chapel. He once
said he reduced about ten
pounds and had many bruised
fingers while working on the
chapel. He was a courageous
untiring and consecrated minis
ter of the gospel and the church
today owes its existence to Rev
G. T. Lumpkin, who passed
away several years ago while
he was superintendent of oul
Baptist Hospital at Winston-Sa
lem, North Carolina.
All of the rs charter member.
of the church have passed away
Mrs. Charlena Hart, the last one
died two years ago.
Some of the pastors who serv
ed the First Church and tn.

T. Lumpkin, Rev. H. C. Ruffin

The environment in which the photog-
raphers found these boys and girls speaks
we'll for their future.
The pictures emphasize the wisdom they
have shown in adding to their secular train
ing study of the Scriptures as guide for
living. Spiritual development will strengthen
their lives in whatever spheres their lots may
be cast.
Friendships formed in religious associa-
tons are usually more dependable and far
more helpful than those picked up in ques-
tionable places of amusement
Spread outs before these youthful stu
dents is wonderful and alluring future. They
possess youth, intelligence, vision, and hope,
and to these they may add faith love, and
achievement-which is the full realization of
life.
All these and more will be theirs if they
follow the teachings of the Scriptures in
building their careers
The churches of this community seek to
direct the footsteps of our youth into paths
of usefulness and happy living.

Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-10-01

Rev. II. \. Sndlllu Ol DdlNllle,
Virginia, was the first full-time
pastor. He was followed by Rev.
A. G.. Carter, who came here
from the Southern Baptist Theo-
logical Seminary, Louisville,
Kentucky.
Other pastors were Rev. Chas.
J. Sheets, Rev. E. ]. Harrell,
Rev. j. E. Kirk, Rev. J. T. Will
lis and Rev. F. w. Haynie.
Rev. Haynie was succeeded
by Rev. B. Marshall White
Hurst of Fairfax, Virginia, who
came here in January, 1915, and
is now the pastor of the church.
New Sunday school rooms were
built and other Improvements
were made on the old church
from time to time, but still more
room had to be provided, and it
was during the faithful pastor
ate of Rev. A G.. Carter that the
new church was started we'll on
its way to completion when he
accepted a call to the Second
Baptist Church of Danville, Vir-
GINA. 1t was completed during
the ministry of Rev. Chas. ].
Sheets, who served the church
one year. He gave his time and
money unstlntinsly to the work.
The first service was held in
the new church on November %,
1924, with both morning and ev-
enlng services conducted by Rev.
A. G, Carter.
The church is now suitably
located on the corner of Tenth
and Jackson streets with a love-
ly eight room brick parsonage
adjacent. which was built during
the pastorate of Rev. j. L. Willis.
The church is three-story
brick building, has twenty-seven
class rooms, three audltoriums,
gallery and is steam heated. New
Sunday school rooms We're added
during the pastorate of Rev. E.
j. Harrell. He was given S5,O00.-
90 for the building of these rooms
and he, like Dr., Lumpkin, work
ed each day WITH the workmen
that he might get the work done
for that amount. He was a deep
ly consecrated pastor, and the
church will ever be grateful for
the fine service which he rem
dered.
Today the church is the scene
of much activity along all lines
of work. The earnest efforts of
our pastor, Rev. B. Marshall
White-Hurst, are finding ready
response fro mthe people of his
large congregation. The total
amount given for all purposes
during his four years of minis
try is $5l, 0l6,00. This amount
was given through tithes and of
ferings. A total of 1874 members
have been added to the church
roll, many repairs have been
made, such as redecorating the
church auditorium. All Sunday
school rooms have been painted,
and much Improvement made in
various departments. All the
woodwork and walls of the par
sonage have been painted, floors
refinished, and a new heating
plant installed. A modern, well.
equipped kitchen has been added
to the church.
The total membership is SAC
and the Sunday school has an en-
rollment of 500. S. D. Brown was
superintendent of the Sunday
School for 25 years and made g
wonderful contribution to the
growth of the school and the
achievements of the church.

+, school is showing great progress
with all departments well-orga-
nized. Recently several new de-
partments have been added to
the Sunday School.
The Woman's Missionary So
ciety has been an inspiration to
the church all through the years
and the death of the Mother of
Missions, Mrs. Annie Jarvis
Allsbrook, January 10, 1912, was
a great loss to the church. There
are six circles, and a member
ship of rs.
The Missionary Society was or
ganized in 1910 by Mrs. T. M.
Jenkins. The present able presi-
dent is Mrs, G. F. Pappendick.
Mrs. A. o. George is the Young
Peoples Director.
During the pastorate of Rev.
F. W. Haynie the chuch was de-
dictated on May 3, 1912. Under
Rev Haynes leadership, the
church instituted its best pro-
gracl of tithing, which led to re-
tirement of the debt, M. A. Hug
gins, Secretary of State Missions
came to the dedication and
preached on this occasion. The
notes were burned and the
church and parsonage are now
free of debt.
Youth Week has been held
each year since Rev. White
Hurst has been with US. This is
great work in the life of the
church. We have ten junior
preachers who have taken part
in these programs. We also
have two ministerial students,
Warren Bush and David Poe,
who are now at Wake Forest
College.
Miss Ruby Blowe is at Camp
bell College in training for reli-
gious educational director.
The B. T. u, which was or
ganized in 1910 by Mrs. 7. NJ.
Jenkins, has been doing a fine
piece of work all of these 33
years. The present Director is
Mrs. Paul Overton. Mrs. Hattie
Cullom is the active and capable
associate director,
We have recently opened a
church library with Miss Christ
inc Bush as librari an. The
church sent her to Ridgecrest
in August to take the library
course offered there.
1t is the church's aim to put
much emphasis on the enlarge
ment of this work during the
next year.
A School of Missions was held
for a week September POPS. 1t
was well attended and the speak
ers were DR.. Earl Bradley, State
Mission Board; Dr.. j. c. Powell,
missionary from Africa; DR..
Frank Lide, missionary from
China; and DR.. Buell. Wells,
Home Mission Board.
At the close of the Mission
School, Youths revival began
and lasted two days. Ministerial
students from Wake Forest Col
lege came down for the revival.
They were j. C. Mitchell of Nor
canton, Bill Lambe of Elizabeth
City and Boyce Medlin of Wake
Forest 1t was great meeting
for our young people. There were
ten professions of faith and a
large number of re-dedications.
/ AS we look back over the
years, we can see devout conse-
Grafton and glorious achieve
ments for the Masters cause
in this church. May we continue
to go forward, shedding the light
OF Christ to America and the ut
termost parts of the earth.

The second game played last night was between the Sitka High School and the Coast Guard, the former winning 26 to 25. The Sit ka team showed good form even though having travelled from Petersburg by air Tuesday and -four members have been ill with the flu.
 The Wachusett five played hard and put up a good fight; however t was difficult for them to get started as they have not had the opportunity to play many games due to their duties. In the last half they seemed to pick up some of the speed they tried to obtain Ln the first half.
 It was close game, and both
 cams fought hard in the last few minutes of the game to obtain the winning point. Sitka made fheir final field goal, putting them 9ne point over the Coast Guard for their close victory.
 High man for Sitka High School was Calvin with eight points to his credit, and their low man was Al Lawrence with two. High man for the Coast Guard was tie hetween Simmons and Angel, with eight points each, and their low man was Eastman.

The first basketball game last night was one of the hottest con- tests of the season, ending the championship playoff for the Cas- tireau Channel Basketball League. The Juneau High School won over the Imperials by four points. Final score was Crimson Bears 31, Im- earials 27.
 The High School squad was in their best form and scored regard less of the opposition the Imper- ials showed. In he first quarter the Bears had a five point lead ana the Imperials tried in vain to tie. In the third quarter, the Im- peiials became slightly confused at he swiftness with which the Bears brought in their points.
 It was a close game all the way through. The ImperialS didn't seem to display their usual team work. The form they showed in the contest last night made them fair game for any opponent. The second team of the Crimson Bears, put in the game, was also hot.
 .Ifieh man for the High School was q tie between Bill Graves and Bill Sperling with seven points each. Low man for the High School was Smithberg with one gratis toss to his credit High man for the Imperials was McDon- aid. with seven points, and their low man was Borbridge with one point
