THE FOOTWABHING
Nearly Two Thousand Peo
ple Attend Primitive
Baptist Function.
QUAINT CEREMONY
The Good People Of the Hardbank
Neighborhood Spread Lavish
ly Their Genuine
Hospitality.
A crowd estimated at fifteen
hundred to two thousand people
attended the Primitive Baptist
footwashing and communion at
Piney Grove, six miles northwest
of Danbury, last Sunday. The
weather was ideal, the lacotion
very pleasant in a cool grove
where delightful breezes play
down from the mountain inces
santly, the occasion very
auspicious for the pleasure of the
communicants and the interest,
of the multitude of seers. The
Primitive Baptists consider the
annual footwashing as one of the
most important functions of
their worship, and the quaint
event is celebrated annually
in this part of the county
at Piney Grove on the
first Sunday in July. It is
always attended by a large
crowd. Preceded by sermons
from Elders Ashburn and Reed,
and the communion of the Lord's
supper by the church, the foot
washing took place immediately
after dinner. The members
gathered into a circle formed by
benches brought from the
church nearby. Under the shade
of the oak, with a delightful
view of the mountain in the dis
tance, with solemn tunes ap
propriate to the occasion from
the Primitive hymnal, the
brethren attired themselves with
white sashes or robes around
their waists, and bathed each
other's feet in basins of water,
after the example of the Master,
as they explain it. The cere
mony is very solemn, and de
picts the charity and humility of
the Saviour as no other human
agency employed by the various
Christian churches.
At the hour of twelve, before
the footwashing event, dinner
was taken by the multitude in
picnic fasion. Many spreads
were made on the grassy
ground, while others ate from
their wagons, buggies and other
vehicles. The people of the
neighborhood, who are noted fbr
their big-hearted good cheer,
and their sincere hospitality, in
vited their friends to share in
the good things to eat. No one
went away unfilled. Many were
filled and there was plenty left.
There were visitors from all
nearby points, including Madi
son, Martinsville, Stuart. Pilot
Mountain, King, Walnut Cove,
Winston-Salem, Danbury, and 1
other places and other surround
ing counties.
