HISTORICAL SKETCH
METHODIST CHURCH
Church Has Had Remarkable Steady
Growth From First Available
Records of 1857.
By REV. L. E. WIGGINS, Pastor
Organised Clinton Methodism dates
back to some time near the middle of
the last century, probably the early
fifties. Owing to the absence of
records, we cannot give the exact date
of the organization of the first
church here. But we know there was
a church and a Sunday school in ex
istence in 1857, for a Bible has been
preserved by the family of the late
James M. Wright, which was present
ed to him by the people of Clinton and
vicinity in token of their apprecia
tion of his services as superintendent
of a union Sunday school, which he
conducted in the Methodist church.
The inscription on the fly leaf bears
the date of August 8, 1857. Some
years prior to this date old Mount
Zion Methodist church, which was lo
cated about a mile west of Clinton
and which was one of the first church
es of this denomination built in Lau
rens county, was removed to the town
of Clinton. This first church built

For many years the Clinton church
was on the Laurens circuit and the
preacher who served it lived in Lau
rens. But in 1868 Clinton circuit was
organized, this church being coupled
with five others in the surrounding
country, and the preacher lived at
Clinton. This arrangement lasted for
over thirty years, until 1905 r when all
of the country churches except Sardis
were taken off and attached to other
circuits, and Clinton and Sardis were
made a two-church station. For only
four years this combination lasted,
and beginning with the second pastor
ate of Rev. J. E. Mahaffey in 1909,
the church at Clinton was placed by
itself.
There have been four church build
ings erected by Clinton Methodists,

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Clinton Experiences.
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back-
ahee, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Take
things easier and use a reliable kid
ney tonic. There's no other kidney
medicine so well recommended as
Doan’s Pills. Clinton people rely on
them. Here’s oen of the many state
ments from Clinton people.
Mrs. C. H. Pearson, 51 A Lydia
Mill, says: “My back was giving me
trouble. During the day I was both
ered with a dull ache through my
kidneys that tired me out and for
a time I wasn’t able to do a great
deal. I was convinced my kidneys
were causing the trouble because
they didn’t act right. I stne for A
box of Doan’s Pills after reading
about thefts in the paper. I took
them according to directions and was
soon rid o fthe annoyance and able
to go about feeling as well as ever.
I gladly endorse Doan’s for the help
they gave me in so short a time.”

the pastorate of Rev. G. M. Boyd, a
beautiful brick church was erected.
The late W. E. Nash, with R. Z.
Wright and B. L. King, were mem
bers of the building committee. The
names of the others cannot be obtain
ed. Sinpe that time the church has
progressed very rapidly. In 1914, un
der the pastorate of Rev. W. A.
Fairey, a great forward step was tak
en in the erection of our present mod
ern and splendidly equipped church
plant. The building committee was
composed of B. L. King, chairman,
B. H. Boyd, W. M. McMillan, J. D.
Bell, H. D. Henry, J. M. Pitts, W. H.
Simpson, J. F. Jones, and L. H. David
son. On September 19, 1920, this new
building was dedicated by Bishop U.
V. W. Darlington, Rev. Henry Stokes
being the pastor at the time. It
stands on the corner of North Broad
and Ferguson streets, facing the for
mer, and is one of the most hand
some buildings in the city. The next
forward step taken was the erection
of a beautiful brick veneer, slate-roof
parsonage on the lot just in the rear
of the church, facing Ferguson street.
This was planned during the last year
of the pastorate of Rev. Henry
Stokes, in 1920, and was completed
the next year.
We cannot get the records farther
back than 1881, but beginning from
that date a comparison of the mem
bership and amounts raised the sec
ond year of each decade will prove
interesting and will serve to show
the progress the church has made
in the last forty years. In 1881 the
six churches comprised in Clinton
circuit were assessed $310 for the
support of their pastor. Clinton
church was assessed $30 of that
amount and the record shows that
they failed to raise it by just eigthy
cents. In 1891 the church had 79
members and the amount raised for
all purposes was $475. Tn 1901 there
were 97 members, who gave a total
of $411. In 1911 the church had 300
members and the total amount raised
was $2,186. In 1921 there'were 1 412
members who gave for all purposes
$11,797.

ers who served the Clinton church
since 1868:
