ENGELHARD BAPTIST
CHURCH
BY r. S. SPENCER, Jr.

In September 1923, the Reverend
E. r. Stewart, Baptist State Mis-
sionary to Hyde County, held a re-
vival in the old graded school house
in Engelhard. When this revival
was held, there were only two
Baptists living in or near Engel-
hard, Mrs. w. ]. (Virginia) Spen-
Ger, formerly of Bethel, and Mrs.
S. S. (Retta) Neal, of Cresfeld,
Maryland. AS result of this meet
ing, there were twenty-siX mem
bers received, twenty-one by bap-
tism and five by letter. This was
the beginning of the Engelhard
Baptist Church.
On Sunday night, October IA,
1923, as previously arranged, the
twenty-six charter members met
and organized the Engelhard Bap-
tist Church. These were J. G. Neal,
Luther Berry, Earl Berry, Betty
Berry, Elizabeth Baum, Mrs. ]. F.
Burrus, Roy S. Cox, Mrs. Roy S.
Cox, Otis Cox, Mrs. Otis Cox, Jones
L. Gibbs, Viola Gibbs, Thomas
Jones; Thelma johnson, Annie B,
Jackson, Mary Kelly, Mrs. Billie
Nixon, Mrs. S. S. Neal, Archie
Spencer, Mrs. Archie Spencer
Mrs. Virginia Spencer, Miss Sallie
M. Spencer, Tom Spencer, Grace
Spencer, Otis White, and Walter
Jarvis. The pastor, Mr.. Stewart
was chosen moderator. The church
chose as deacons Luther Berry
Walter Jarvis, and ]. Gray Neal
RS. Cox was elected church clerk
and treasurer. Mrs. Virginia Spen.
Ger was named pianist. Some time
after the church was organized, the
old school building was bought
The old school had three large
rooms and large assembly room

The membership grew in mum.
Der to over fifty. Then things begar
to happen to the growing church
Some members moved away, other:
grew up and went to college ant
into the armed forces, and Sunday
School attendance declined, Mr.
Stewart had sought other fields
and the building began to lool
shabby. Engelhard could get M
pastor and the church died out.
Around 1850 Rev. Oscar Ed
monds organized small group o.
Baptists and they met for a yeal
in the Christian Church or in some
of the Baptist homes. In 1852, the
five Baptist churches in Hyd,
County decided to have two minis
ters. Rev. Ralph Jones was calleC
to the Engelhard. Fairfield anC
Sladesville charge. In few month!
a new chapel was started at En-
gelhard. Half of the old church
building was sold and work wa:
begun on the other half. The church
was re-organized and two more
deacons were chosen to serve will
R. S. Spencer and R. S. Cox. The!
were Huron Gibbs and S. D
O'Neal. In the last of May, 1858
the chapel was finished and Rev
E. r. Stewart was invited to hole
a revival service. The Engelhart
Baptist Church has just finished
closing in Sunday School room!
and hopes to complete some o.
them in the near future. Engelhare
Baptist Church is growing
church and has a bright future
ahead.

At the same time that they

Yet when they predict up
trends, they'll have to guard
against over-em phasizing these
too. Re-awakening an imitation
psychology would be a deep
disservice.
Being sensible men, they'll
try to qualify every forecast
with comments to the effect
that a giant speed-up in de-
Tense spending and a sharp
move to easier and cheaper
credit could change the whole
economic picture quickly. These
qualifications WONT add clari-
flcation to their statements.

Actually, the forecasting sea-
son already has opened = and
the first two 1858 predictions

presses perfectly illustrate
what I have written above.
From the Agriculture Depart

1858 will see a continuation Of

are ahead for the 1858 wheat
crop and a major drop in hog
prices is on the horizon -,
Farmers win be paying more
for things they use in produc-
ton and living even though
farm incomes won't be going
up -.
On the other hand, from the
Commerce and Labor Depart
ments comes this prediction for
new construction in 1858:
OUTLAWS will total $49.6 bill
lion, up 5 per cent over 1957's
record and 1858 win be second
only to 1855 in the physical
volume of new construction
Building of new houses will be
on the rise, will hit the 1.100.-
900 mark -.
This is pretty good news. for
it means the housing industry
will be a better stimulant to
the economy in 1858 than in
1857.
