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.
