Umker,' EARLY CHURCHES ol TheL foll wing highly inter'!sdi . paper by Mrs. Frank McFall was read at the recent joint meeting of the Pickens D. A. R. and U. D. C. Not only did our forefathers leave a goodly heritage of. courage and leadership, but the many thurches which they organized stand as a nion ument to their religion. That they were a God-earing peo ple, keeping the faith of their fath ers, we know by the distances they travelcd to church, usually on foot. Major J. M. Stewart of Pickens, who is now over eight., speaking of his boyhood days, remembers a Bap Cst Covention in North Carolina whln th d(lagates from Pickens District vwent in such crowds that they looked like an army marching. To hear him tell about it reminded us of "Onward Christian Soldiers,'" and we wondered how many of our people of today e uld be pursuaded to go <.n a journey like that. IHe says that the year 18:2 was mrkud by such a spreading of the. as has never been known, in the:.' 1arts, h( fore nor since. AndI it was about this -time that many of our1 country churches were organized. The elder Baptist churches arc O<.lency, Sceena, old Liberty church Six Mile, Enin and Cross Roads. .
