? I /) . t L History of Flat Creek Baptist Church as Brought Dowr Through Several Genera tions. Written for The News. Here is a little history concern ing Flat Greek Baptist church brought down from fore-pareuts as my mother, Mrs. P<#ly Cook who recently died, stated.' Sh< said that there was a Baptis preacher by the name of George Pope, who lived in North Caro lina, though a farmer like we are He dreamed that he must go tc Lynches Creek and preach though he put it off and did noi come. He also kept dreaming that he must come to Lynches Creek to preach. He still put ii ^ off. His stock commenced dying ^ Oue morning he went down t< his wheat field and found thai the frost had killed his wheat.? He said, ''Lord, what shall I do?' k,A voice said, 4<Go to Lynches Creek and preach. 1 He weni back home and saddled his horse not knowing which way to start only by his dreams, but theroac seemed to be iamiliar; and whei he got to Lynches Creek ford h< knew that he was on the righ1 way. Right on this side of th< creek mother's grandfather liv ed and there he stopped and spent the night. His conversation t< the lamily was to the effect that it was dangerous to lie down a lost sinner. On the next day ther< was preaching at Flat Creek ii an old log building. They al went with him to the church.? When they got there a Methodis preacher was preaching. Pope sat down. He was a strange mar whom they had never heard of He sat until the Methodist preach er got through preaching. Ht then walked up into the pulpil and said to the congregation: ? "i m going to preach, out i n going to preach just so," and h< pM6*" crossed his fingers as much as t( 'gZ say, across the doctrine he hat ust listened to. He preachet and they said the like never wai heard. The people followed hin and he preached again, and thej called him to preach for them.? He moved his family here ant constituted Flat Creek church ii 1776, and preached there until In died. He was the first man evei buried at Flat Creek. 8ome yean after he died a Baptistjpreache by the name of Joseph Copelant dreamed that he must go to Fla Creek and cut down the sapling that had grown up in the fielt that old Mr. Pope had cleared.? He came and he slaved the sap lings, so say the foreparents.I hope that the Lord will sein some one to slay the old scrubs and also saplings. ti. XV. UOOK. Another Coupling Car Acci dent.
