The troops inquir ed of the church’s Negro sexton whether that was the church where ‘ the mischief” took place. One version says that he replied that it was not, but that it was located on the corner to the south, and the soldiers burned the old building of the Baptist Church, which had been built in 1811. The other version states that when asked the question, the sexton replied that the Baptist Church was on the corner to the north, and he soldiers set out for the Washington Street Methodist Church, and proceeded to burn it- The City of Columbia issued a secession notice after the ac tual signing of the Oriiaance of Secession on December 20, 1880. Dated the following day, and signed by D. B. Miller, who was Columbia’s City Clerk at that time, the notice made the fol lowing points: that all businesses should close and observe gen eral rejoicing over the seces sion; that bells of the city and churches be rung at 2:00 p. m. for one hour; that citizens illum inate their dwellings and places of business ? at 7:00 p. m.; and that the Columbia Artillery and Commandant of the Arsenal be tested to fire a salute at 2:00 church bells along with other houses of worship in the city The Columbia notice further stated, and we quote: “That the Colum bia Artillery and Richland Vol unteer Rifles meet at their re spective rendezvous at 1:00 p.m. in full uniform, and that resi dents meet at Klnsler’s Hall at 7% o’clock, to ratify proceedings of State Convention” The decision to meet at the church for the first meeting of the Convention was taken be cause the General Assembly’s emergency session was still go ing on at the Stats House. The events of secession have added an unusual note to the history of Columbia’s First B apjis t Church. If you would care to team more about it, you can read the book, “History ol the First Baptist Church, publish ed in 1958.

This stately old brick structure, with its imposing giant brick columns, can be seen today on Hampton Street, near the corner of Marion. First Baptist’s congregation was organised In October of 1808, and the first two pastors were Dr. Jonathan Maxcy, pres ident of South Carolina College, and Dr. William B. Johnson, chaplain of the college. The pres ent church building was complet ed in 1857, only three years be fore the historic secession meet ing was to be held there.
