Watkins Chevrolet Co, By T. L. Green. ' EDITOR'S NOTE The follow ing: history of the Baptist church in Waynesville was prepared and recently read during a church ser vice by T. L. Green: The Waynesville Baptist church was organised and instituted on the 1st day of August, 1823, by a Presbytery composed of Rev. Humphrey Posey, Rev. Joseph Byers and Adam Corn. Humph rey Posey was, at the time, a Bap tist missionary for Western North Carolina, and was probably the first pastor of the new church. The church was composed of 27 mem bers, but unfortunately we are unable to obtain the names of these 27 charter members. The first house or meeting place of the church was located at a point on the East side of Richland creek near the point where the present bridge crossing from Commerce to Smathers street is located and very near the large rock just above the bridge. The records show that the lot on which the old log house was built was deeded to Bannister Turner, William Welch and Nin nian Edwards, trustees for the church. The church carried on in this old log house until about the year 1880, when R. G. A. Love deeded the church a lot on what is now Church street about where Mrs. Dr. R. L. Allen now lives and near the Catholic , church. Here the church constructed a new frame building about 30 by 60 feet, where it continued to worship until 1905, when it purchased the lot on Main and Academy streets, on which it las constructed the present build ings. A complete record of the church history can not be obtained, be cause our records have not been preserved, for instance the records of deeds shows that the lot on Church street was not deeded to the church until 1880, yet Aunt Macinda Crymes, who lived to be about 99 years of age, stated that the church on this lot was built before the Civil war in 1861. For several years after our first church house was built on the bank of Richland creek there was no other church building in the Waynesville community, and for several years other denomina tions worshipped in the court house or in the old Waynesville academy which was located) where the Greenhill cemetery is'now located. until aDput 1880 church ser vices were held but once a month, when services began to be held twice a month until about 1895 when services were increased to three times a month. At this time the church received either directly or , indirectly from the Home Board to supplement the pas tor's salary. DISCIPLINE The records show that the church in its early history was quite strict in its discipline. For instance, the records reveal that in August, J 1867 a resolution' was passed that all male members of the church should be called to account if they absented themselves from two con secutive meetings of the church, and if they were absent for three consecutive meetings they were excluded. The sisters were al lowed slightly more indulgence. If they were absent for as long as six months they were excluded. The church as early as 1881 pass ed a resolution memoralizing the general assembly of North Caro lina to prohibit the sale and the manufacture of liquor. This church up until about 1886 was a member of the Tuckaseigee Association.

She issued a special invitation to all her old customers as well as new .ones, to see the many new items which will be carried.

In so far as can be ascertained the church has, during its 118 years history, had 38 pastors, many of whom have been out standing characters in the religious life of the state, and we acknowl edge ourselves greatly indebted to them for their contributions to the growth and development of this church and the work of the Kingdom generally. v In the light of this humble be ginning and long struggle we feel that we may entertain a just pride in our great growth and develop ment to our present status and pray that we may not only appre ciate our good fourtune, but that we may live worthily of the same and continue to seize and use the great opportunities for the ongo ing of God's Kingdom. ml WARM All car owners within the city limits of Waynesville are hereby notified that they will be required to procure on or before January 17th, city license tags.
