Sesquicentennial Poem
By REV ERNEST C. DURHAM
(For Wesley Memorial Methodist Church, Warrenton, N. C.)
Today we have experience we've never had before:
We're looking back a hundred years and half a hundred more?
Back to the time when this great church had its beginning
small,
When just a few good people heard our great Redeemer's call
To start a church in His own glory and the people's good;
And so they built one room with logs, where quite a while it
stood,
To house the few glad worshippers who met from week to
week,
Who went with yearning in their hearts God's blessings rich
to seek.
In course of time by faith they built a larger, better place?
Attended by the love of God and His "amazing grace"?
Much larger than the cabin where they worshipped for a while,
And yet this second church was somewhat primitive in style?
One long, straight room 'neath boarded roof, small steeple at \
one end,
And yet how proud of this they were, as friend conversed with
friend! ]
But after many years this church made glad surrender to
The building of a church of brick ? quite beautiful and new.
But, ah! if that was beautiful, what do we people say
Of this completely modern church in which we meet today?
It's like a dream come true at last, after a time so long.
And of the wonderous progress made we sing our thankful
song.
How marvelous! How wonderful! Each step a perfect plan!
From first to last a work of beauty, wrought by God and man!
Where do we go from here, therefore? What else is there
to do?
God's greatest wcrk must yet be done, and He will see us
through.
Yes, we are looking back today, almost half-way to when
The Pilgrim Fathers reached this land to live as frontier men;
And we look forward, O, so far, for we shall ever be
A living church, never to die, through God's Eternity;
And we are looking up today, O, yes. so very high!
Our humble steeple ever points to "Chapels in the Sky";
Therefore, dear friends of this good church, rejoice, rejoice
today,
For you'll have residence with God when you have moved away.
