The Shelby Baptist Church was
organized in the year 1848 and the
first deaconii of the Church were: J.
R. Logan, William Roberts and Da
id Warlick. The first clerk was
William Robeits. The following en
"try is found in the old record book: .
"James Love, a member ot tne
church at Zoai, donates a parcel of
ground in the town of Shelbv fnr
'ie purpose of building-a Baptist
Church. During the year 184(5 a
houtc was erected, mainly by the ef
fort and liberality of William Hon
oris, Dr. Thomas Williams and Pa
vld Warlick. Towards the cloJ-3 of
the year 1846 Elder J. M. Wei'), of
Rutherford county, began to preach
once a month in the new homo.
March 20 and 21, 1847, a meertiig
was held in the new church to make
arrangements for organizing a Bap
tist Church."
The building first constructed was
a wooden one and painted white. It
was a very comfortable one and seat
ed from 200 to 250 people. It was
heated in the winter by stoves. This
structure remained as a church un
til about the year 1889, when it was
pulled down and a brick structure
erected. It was constructed, not
very beautiful, cold in winter, and
very warm In summer.
THE NEW EDIFICE.
"-The building of a new church was
talked of at times by the members
, for some years, but not until the fall
of 1909 were the final steps taken
for the erection of such a church.
On the seventh day of November,
1909, the paster. Rev. C. A. Jenkins,

Meeting at First Presbyterian
Church Has Drawn LargeCrowds
Daily Three Special Services
Sunday, Meeting Closing With
Night Service Several Hundred
School Children Present This
j Morning.
The special evangelistic services
at the First Presbyteran Church con
tnue to grow In attendance and In
terest. The auditorium or the
church is filled at the morning serv
ice, while at the evening service
probably more than a thousand peo
ple are in attendance, to hear Dr.
Thacker's strong and eloquent ser
mons. The spiritual Interest is con
stantly deepening, and there is gen
eral regret that the meetings are
drawing to a close. Many hundreds
of cards have been handed in. The
services will close Sunday glght.
There will be three services on
Sunday: At 11 a. m., 3:30 p. m.
and" 7:30 p. m. The service at 3:30
p. m. is for men and boys, and will
be a meeting of special Interest ana
value. Dr. Thacker has been re
quested to preach the annual ser
mon before the Junior Order U. A.
M. at that time, and has consented
to do so, combining that wth his
regular evangelistic service. The
Junior Order, more than 200 strong,
will march to the church in a body
and occupy the middle block of pews
which will be reserved for them.
Ths will be a great service and all
the men and boys of the city are
urged not to miss It. All are cordi
ally welcomed. The music will be
a special feature and promises to
be uncommonly attractive.
At night the last service of the
meeting will be held. The other
churches of the town will close on
account of the meeting, and there
will no doubt be a very large con
gregation, which will tax the capaci
ty of the church. All the pastors of
the city have lent their co-operation
very heartily during the meeting,
and have cheerfully volunteered to
unite in the service Sunday night.
This cordial co-operation and union
of the Christian forces of the city has
meant much to the success of the
meeting, and is a striking Illustra
tion of the essential unity and the
strong fraternal Bplrlt that charac
terizes the Gastonia churches.
The sublect of Dr. Thacker's ser
mon tonight will be, "The Man of
the Hour," and It promises to be a
discourse that every one should hear.
The hour of service is 7:30 and all
the people of the city and communi
ty are most earnestly and heartily
Invited to rw present.
At this morning's service there
were present. In addition to a large
jreneral congregation, several hun
dred school children. Supt. Wray,
of the city schools, dismissed the pu
nlls of the Central school In order
hat thev mlfht attend the services

Something Wrong.
Wadesboro Ansonian.
A young man living ten miles
from Wadesboro was summoned by
both sides In a case, to appear as a
witness In the Recorder's court. He
came on two different occasions and
the case was continued. The third
time It was tried but he was not put
on the stand and therefore not al
lowed to prove' his ticket and draw
his pay. He had spent three days
and driven his team 60 miles to
obey the law and yet the law said he
could not recover for his time and
expense. There is something wrong
with a legal system that permits a
case like this, compelling a man to
give his time and money to serve
the State or the defendant and yet
denying him the right to recover.
The courts give very little consider
ation to the Innocent bystander.
