Minter Bow lin Alley WINNSBORO METHODISTS CHURCH DEDICATED Last Sunday Was Memorable Day in Church's History. Last Sunday was a memorable day in the history of Winnsboro, it being the occasion of the dedi cation of the Winnsboro Metho dist church. The sermon was preached by Bishop John Car lisle Kilgo, a native of South Carolina, but now living in Char lotte, N. C. The church was built about eight years ago, but a large debt had been made to finish paying for it, and under Methodist law; no chuech can be dedicated while under a debt. A strenuous ef fort had been made to pay off this debt and install a new heat ing plant. By some help from the Board of Church Extension the work was accomplished, and last Sunday was fixed as dedica tion day. The day was fine, the congregation was large, all the churches of the town were closed, and their members andpas tors were present, and a number of interested friends from the: country. The choir of the church was enlarged by a number of singers from the other churches, and so the music was unusually fine. The pastor, Rev. J. B. Tray wick, stated that this church was organized 108 years ago by Rev. Jas. Jenkins, and that the pres ent building is the third one er ected. He also stated that the: ladies of this church had raised $4,000 or more since the work began, and that while t he trus tees had been liberal and untir ing in the face of money difficul ties, special mention should be made of the large liberality of Mrs. Mary McMaster who died before the church was finished. Also that it was under the lead ership of Rev. Henry Stokes that the work was planned and ex ecuted. The sermon of Bishop Kilgo was wonderful: His sub ject was the "Universal Lord ship of Jesus Christ." For over! one hour he held the absorbed attention of the great congrega tion. Perhaps Winnsboro has never heard such a niessage from any preacher. --T At the close of the syrmon the officials of the church came to the chancel and formally presented the building for dedication. Bishop Kilgo, before dedication, gave some plain and pert'nent remarks as to the sacrednesstof the House of God. He then pro nounced the beautiful words of consecration while all the congre gation stood. All the ministers presen t took part in the services. It was most becoming that Bishop Kilgo should have been.j the officiating minister on this great occasion as he is a son of Fairfield county. While his father, Rev. Jas. T, Kilgo, was,a Methodist minister, and this son was born at Laurens, S. C., his mother was a native Fairfield' lady, having been Miss Mason, a member of one of the eldest families of the county. We con gratulate our Methodist friends in Winnsboro in this great achive ment. and in all that this great occasion to them and Winnsboro for the future. For.mer Fairfield Woman Buried in Columbia.
