Statesville Daily, Xow it Is the ('alia mis' county chain gang that is in the limelight. Prison-! ers brutally beaten, worked when sick | and maltreated generally. And the ac- j cusatlon doesn't come from Budding at: YVnsbington. It is the finding of a [ Cabarrus county grand jury investiga tion. Since tiiis thing has started i similar reports, all of them with some| foundation in l'act—and some of them j with much fact to support them—may Ih 1 expected from almost any convict J caipp. Those in charge of prisoners j had better take warning and mend their ways. And it is hoped that the turning on of l,he "searchlight will re sult in the permanent reformation of the penal system. Certainly there is no excuse for inhumane treatment of the unfortunates. They should, not he codified atfd petted, as some of the penologists would insist: hut while they should know that a comity con vict camp or a State prison is not a place of pleasure they can at least be treated as human beings.

L. Craven, a charter metn . ber df this church, before the Mission -1 *ry Society at «. social meeting held with Mrs. T. D. Maness recently: There is a strange and fascinating ■ interest in the beginning of things. From the time that the record was made that “In the beginning God cre , utqd the Heavens and thd earth,” down ' -through the more six centuries that have followed, beginnings have had a large place in the world's his tory. If time would permit we might , profitably review the beginning of, some of the gre«jJ: forces that have, . mfiilp the wori4 . tif ’ today t\ grand: , achievement of jttogfess and develop-; ment in every well directed effort for ■ the cause of God and humanity- Bnt| • we leave the centuries with all their 1 weight of interest, and give our at-! tention to the beginning of only one I' institution, in one small city, in our | own home 'community—The First Bap-; tisf Church of Concord, North Carol!- j . «*• I A brief sketch of its early history, ’ in which faith and courage, love and sacrifice iiore so large a part, will be ; our study at this hour. , j In July, 1886, under the direction of the State Mission Board, Rev. Geo. i P. Bostic came to Concord and began j 1 preaching in the county court house. | 1 1 There was scarcely a nucleus around j , which to hois? to build anything cred- j i itable to the Baptist faith, yet with- ] j in a few weeks a Sunday school was j organized in the home of Maj. A. J. j I Dodamead, on the corper of West De- j j pot and Spring streets. Ten uiem-| J Iters were enrolled atyl Maj. Dodamead , ! made superintendent. Within a few ! weeks tin- little school laid outgrown j | the limitations of the itarlor and it j i too was moved to the court house. The ! ! attendance at the school incrfl-ised ' ‘ rapidly, and the congregations at the ' church services were encouraging to the vigorous and praiseworthy efforts! lof Mr. Bostic ami his comrades iu I service. 1 On October 26. 188tfc the Interested ■ members of the Baptist faith in the j j city were organized into a church by : . a regularly constituted presbytery. Rev,. \V. It. Guailtney, moderator. Twenty-seven members were enrolled, eight (8! men -and nineteen (19.1 wo men. Mr. Bostic was at once called as i pastor and served the church faith fully nearly two yours, in which time] the lot for the church was bought j | and imid for. This lot included the 1 ■ 1 present site upon whivlt our handsome! new building is being erected and two' lots in the rear, now owned by Mr. E. j L. Morrison and Dr. Smoot. lit 1888 Mr. Bostic severed Ills con-! neetlon Avirli the State Board to take I up foreign missjyti work, and hence | resigned the pastorate] to the sin- j cere regret of every member of his; loyal co-workers. Rev. J. D. Newton was our next J pastor. His efforts were directed to; placing a building on the lot which J his predecessor had bought. The task was one of large proimr- j tions for a baud of men and women ! whose ability was measured l>v daily 1 wages, puly one member bad the j proud distinction of owning his own j home. , Faith and sacrifice overcame many difficulties and removed numerous ol>-' staeles, and a church with a seating capacity of two hundred finally was' the gratifying achievement of about fifty members, although n burdensome debt followed in its wake. The first sendee in the new build ing was held in January, 1889. Mr. Newton remained with us two years, leaving in 1891. after which services were kept up by supplies until March, 1892. when Rev. .1. O. Aldermiln was called to the pastorate. Mr. Alderman gave himself fully to every interest of his iieople—was soon ingratiated into their affections uml led the work of the church In all its departments satisfactorily to a devot ed people for four years. During this time the membership more than dou bled. Following Mr. Alderman, during the year of 1896, Rev. J. J. l'uvseiir be came pastor. Mr. l’ayseur was im- I' ‘ pressed with the opportunity for the material advancement of the church and soon had plans underway to build a parsonage iu the rear of the church and enlarge the church building t.b more than double its seating capacity. This he accomplished in three years. It was a forward step for the Baptists, and although burdened with more debt there was an outlook for future prog ress beyond their most sanguine hopes and exiieetations. After three years of service. Mr. I’ayseur was succeeded by Rev. Joey Hoge, 1988. He soon found ready fol lowing in his progressive ideas of church work. Good fellowship, enthu siasm. zeal were distinctive points in all his methods, while his evangelistic gifts were pronounced and effective in building up large congregations. Both Sunday school attendance and church membership increased. . Besides serving the First Church as pastor, Hr. Hoge saw the opportunity for the Baptists in the northern see fion of the city and led ifi the organi zation of' a band Which was the “be ginning of what is now McGill Street \ Church. Mr. Hoge also gave his ut -1 tention to cancelling the debt ou the 1 First Church, wbiyh he succeeded in ! doing and «jn Sunday. October 28th, 1 1909 fourteen, yeaTs after its 01-ganiza | tion, the dedication services of the ! First church were held. Dr. C. A. I Thomas preaching the sermon. ( That was a hallelujah occasion for I a membership that hud struggled I through'!so many difficulties, and every I heart ami "every voice could sing: S “Praise ye the Lord." 1 In 190). following Mr. Hoge, Rev. l j. E. Smith became pastor, hud' for 5 two years guided the work of the i church along established lines and All i ed the pulpit with ability. Large eon- S gregations attended upon his ministry. I During his pastorate the interior of I the ehnrch was papered and painted I and a new enrpet laid. I Following Mr- 8m Ith. about 1906 or 1 07, Ilev. U. H. Herring was called I and. rendered acceptable service for I three .>■■ D-V.rJt .'■» • Lacks**. • . 1 I I t til ' Standimtat, was lb free thfe church of ! a debt-that had been hanging over the parsonage since its building in 1896. His energies were turned in this (Hrec i tlm a»d success ; *ro)vne<l his efforts. 1 On a memorable Mayer meeting night ; the old mortgage Was burned and the entire ohurcb property was free from 1 debt fpr the first time in sixteen years.' I Rev. S. X. M'utson became our next lwstor in 1910. gtle higli standard of Christian life djur culture imiiressed :! itself upon hts c<%®reghtions who were (loyal in support of all his efforts for better life ajfd better service tor the , Master. On hbmadvice the Deaton lot on s)iring street, adjoining the church was bought, upon Which the present personage stands. . Mjr. Watson served I the church fnittifully and acceptably j for five years. r 1 For some time, we were without a Tpastor and Ln thii time Imltt the par sonage ou the Deaton lot in 1915. | Rev. R. E. Brown was the first pas ! tor to occupy the liarsonage. Mr. j Browh was a vigqjnus yonng minister just from the semhiary who remained : with us but a shbjrt time, leaving here for the west. Succeeding him in the pastorate was j Rev. Geo. V. Tilley, a man of sjiecial ability in the pulpit and commanding I influence. During hte stay no deiiart jmeut of church work was neglected ] and every interest, could lay claim to ! wise supervision and advancement. I This record brings us to the present. ] Our past has been one of constant growth despite difficulties, and our fu i {tire is aglow with hoiie - under the j wise and exiierjeneed direction of our I present pastor, llev. G. 11. Martin, D. ,1). | Dr. Martin is now ip the fifth year J of his pastorate gnd his wise and he j roic leadership 'hbnnduntly jusfitjes ! the foreword of Arcbiliuld JOIIII - son to the pulpit Skmmiittee before he came. He said, you can get him : he will tlo you a 'laimumeiitnl work.” j He found a valiant Jitfle eompany bjht I a bit discouraged and somewhat unor i gahizetl but w ilUpg and waiting. Hist j fine spirit of ppt(ipism irradiated good (cheer, and enthusiasm {dueled right : away. He lielieved that any band of Christians could do, undep God, what the exigencies qf any suimtion de manded. The outstuuding need <>f ihe congregation was a new and adequate j house of worship. The |>oople met this 1 challenge with a gratifying response :nud plans were begun, resulting in the I splendid new temple now going under j cover on the site of the old wooden | building. TJiis building will seat com ! fort a hly and within easy hearing -of ' the preacher a thousand people, and [care for a Sunday school of fifteen . hundred. It is modern in till of its ( appointments, completely departmeut- Ia 1 feci with 31 class-rooms. ( While the new 'church house is the 1 outstanding phenomenal achievement, 1 it by no mean's tells all the story. Dur i ing l>r. Martin’s pastorate more mem j licrs have been added to the church , than lielonged whejn he came: the pres jeat membership being about 4(i<>. In tereasiugly large crowds attend the j services and uewjnemlters are added ! nearly every- Knmfiiy, The Church has 1 contributed more tbau $50,000 4n casli jto the olijeets ihe church fosters in j these years our present pastor lias led , us. With this consecrated leadership so ably and worthily seconded liy.Mrs. | Martin, who is so efficient in any'forih ■ of church work we feci that we'are , just entering an era of wonderful growth.' With tills review, of church history we have noted its leaders. Us mater ial and splritijul development ap<f con sequent present position of Christian usefulness and influence which the Baptists of this city now enjoy. Due credit has lieeu given to the wise di rection of its affairs by consecrated leaders supinirted by a loyal uiemtier ship for the pust nearly forty years. IVe come now to ask wlmt special l«irt have the women of the church borne in this grand achievement? We have very little data, upon which to place their standard of work, yet the records give us a' glimpse of their In terest when "we find thut in a Snuday school of ten members two of the teachers were women. yVhen the pul pit need<Ml a Bijile, a woman present ed it from the savings of a meager in come. When the curtains wore need ed and a carpet for the pulpit floor suggested! the w.omen assumed the task ond it was soon dope. When an appropriate pulpit desk and chairs were to replace a table and splint bot toms. the tvouien raised the funds and placed them there.' In December, 1897, the Woman's Aid Society of the church was organ ized with ifs object stated thus: “First: The object of this society is to co-operate with jpfld aid the breth ] ren in carrying fcAward nil the work of the local churrK. "Second: To develop the social and spiritual life of its members." The plan of wort*embraced u month ly contribution from) each member to be paid into the sieiety treasury, so cial entertainments with admission fees or collection*? lectures and ba i xaarfi, the revenue from which should be turned into thcjtreasury apd used for specific purposfc upon the major ity vote 6f the lnuwbri -81 ''!' During the earijf period of women’s work we find the credit given to the ( Afd Society, or tlie Aid and Mission ary Hoetety. thus one organization car -1 ried the oidigutions of two. With .the ' struggles the IrM-ul church had, it is ( not surprising that aid work should have l*een given preferenre over mis sions in the effort* of the women.
