Baptist Moves To Town
Miss Frances l.uoinda Smith was
m near Dallas. N. C. 'Gri tainted
to make the beginning tcr
i Baptists in this town.- In 18To
s was married to George W. Corn11
and with her husband move J
Kings Mountain." She was the j
ly Baptist here for sometime, and
wns done that could have been
htr by the pedobaptlsta to get her
deny her faith and join with her
nband who was an A. R. P., but
n sn'1 that some time God would]
ovlde. Her pedobaptlst friends
d her'that It could never be that
Baptist church would be built In
Is town, but she na'd. "Only wait
d see.' and thoy did see one spring
to existence as if by magic.
* " ? i / r ' ~~
She not only saw a Baptist church
ganlxed In Kings Mountain hut
nk. She saw the W. M. 8. orgs nix
, and was active enough to become
> first secretary. She also saw the
inday School work begin, and took
i active part In it for a number of
era Great must have been her
y when all of the anxieties of her
ul were fully realised. They who
w In tears shall reap in joy. Such
list have been the experience of
is noted servant of God".
It Is of unusual Interest to note
at the first citizens of this town
;re either Lutheran or Associate
Termed Presbyterian and with tty
sstng yeara the phenomenal grow
of Baptists has born the blessl
(s or uoa.
o Baptist Companion*
'It was not long after Mrs. George
rnwell moved hero until the Ix>ra
it her a Baptist companion. and
sy became the best friends this
tlon has ever known. The second
r>'l*t to move here, was Mrs. Mar
ret Issbelle Nevitt Kindrlck. Both
r" vnunir women, nno l>oth were
wly married. Both had been or- "
pub. and both had been raised In
icr hemes than their own. They
d i be same experiences in many
spec's. and both were loyal Bapt
Thr'v knew why thev were Raptv
end why they could not sacrle
ihe'r principles to he with their
sbands. They were the kind of
iff the Lcrd wanted to begin his
>rk with here.'
These were Ihe days when Bapit
were only happy when they
ire baptised in RUNNING water.
Amcng the Baptists who came here
fore the organization of the Ml
aptlst Church were the following
mtly names: Hoke, Carpenter,
omfesley Llttlejohn, jBaumgjurd>rv
.Long Reynolds Kendrlck; Cpbb
-lmet, Potent. Morrison and DUicey
The -present Chui'eti was org&nizI,
sbnaetime in ,thp year 1890 with
jout thirty memfciers. according- to
e best Information available. ( i .
imber of the . members moving
om Old Bethlehem Church three
rles from 'town. -Bebduhe the "eld
cords have been lost three preachs
were responsible for the leaderilp
of the first years, Rev. M. P.
atheny. J Rev. J. E. MoManaway.
id Dr. F. C Htckson.

The State Board helped this little
md of noble Baptist make tneir
iginning. Forty dollars a year was
lotted them this being two fifths
'the pastor's salary.
Mrs. J. R. Reynolds and Mrs. Sylin
us Mauney are the only survivg
members of that first faithful
oup of Baptists.
The first house was built of wood
d located upon the lot of the pre#
it church site. Space dods not pee
It the relating of the story of pray- g
. faith and loyalty of those early I
ya.
Great people Inspire great preach- I
K and this Churoh Is no except- I
n. In the life of the Churh many fi
itstandlng names appear on the I
>ll call of the preachers of the past. I
uthors. scholars and missionaries, I
en of devotion and stability Hmw I
rved as pastors of the Church^ ' I
By 1901 membership had rea- I
ted the number of 197 and marked I
le beginning of a preaching W- I
ioe every Sunday.
By 1914 the church roll had climb- I
1 to 406.
iThe present Church building was I
rected in 1913 and the first nror- I
nip in the new auditorium was con I
luded with the ordinance of bap- I
sm. Mlsa Ruth Baumgardner and I
er netce, Ruth Baker were the can- I
(dates.
Baptists have always placed em- I
basis upon the teach lot of the Bt- I
e. FTom the very first days the Sun I
ay School baa shown remarkable I
dvancement both in numbers and I
s the quality of teaching. Along I
1th the growth of the Churoh the I
V. Ml U. and its Auxiliaries -have I
rcupted a large place in giving mis I
lonary inspiration and vision.?CM L
