Sketch of Christian Church in BeIhaven
Found in Old Magazine Recalls It's Story

An old copy of the North Caro-
lima Christian, found recently by
the Rev. George Downey, pastor,
carried an extensive sketch of the
Belhaven Christian Church. This
was in the June, 1888, issue of the
church publication.
The sketch follows:
The site of Belhaven was a
SPRAYING wilderness of swamp,
marsh and forest for two .centu-
ries after the coming of the white
man to the shores Of the sluggish
coastal river, the Pungo. 1t was
known as Jacks Neck by the pie
bians of the lowlands. 1t came to
life as rising community in 1897,
when John Wilkinson erected a
mill there. A village then gathered
to front the wide-sweeping river,
pleasant route to the water-borne
commerce of the world. Almost
unique for a North Carolina city,
there were prominent Disciples
among those first on the ground
at Belhaven, and today Disciples
are the most numerous and re-
sourceful religious group of the
community.
Disciples, moreover, had been in
the environs of the place for sever
al decades. One hundred and sew
enty-five years ago John Winfield,
resident preacher in the Pungo Sec
ton, Numbered in favor of the
freedom of the will and kept his in
dependent Baptists from uniting
with the emerging Calvinistic re-
gime, which found it's extreme ex-
preston in North Carolina in the
Kehukee Association setup in 1765.
The posterity of this Winfield fol-
lowing were to give favorable re-
spouse to the Campbells in their
nineteenth century "Plea" of "the
Current Reformation"
A pioneer church to serve as a
base for the ideals of Disciples
was Pungo Chapel, five miles east
of the present Belhaven. This
church had 16 members as far back
as 1913. It Joined the Bethel Con-
ference of Free Will Baptists, and
in 1915, when it merged with Dis
ciples, it had 80 members; Thorn
as j. Latham was the pastor, Will
liam Davis and Jesse Winfield were

Hard TO Satisfy

SUsAN is married to Actor Jess Barker,
and the mother of twin boys. She lives in
house that is still not completely fur
nished, although she has been in Holly
wood and in pictures for 13 years. This
has something to do with her curious
perfectionism. In her lean, early days,
she had only one room completely fur
nished, but that sumptuously = no COM
promise. She's wealthy now, but she's
still waiting for just the right pieces.
AS Bathsheba, she wore filmy gar
ment which was something of fire
hazard. A sign on the lot read: do not
