Sunday, January 27th, the "Mount Moriah Baptist church, colored, cele brated its f>Hth anniversary. There was a special service at 4 o clock p. m. which was largely attended by a number of our white friends as well as the wmtqr tourists. The services con sisted pf a brief history of the church by the pastor and addresses by Hon. W. B. DdLoache and Editor C. W. Birchmore. Both of these addressee were full of helpful advice and warm congratulations to the members for thoir continuous growth and harmony during their 58 years of church' life and wishing for them a continuation of the same. The Mount Moriah Baptist church occupies a very interesting link in the hiatof y of our town and below *we give a few facts related to it as contained in the pastor's address on the above occasion. ' On January 22, 1866, one hundred and four of our fathers and mothers, just out of slavery, met and organised themselves into an organization known as the Mount Moriah Baptist church. This organization was not formed for any hostile or opposing .spirit to the First Baptist church (white) of which they were members, but the new conditions arising after the war made it advisable. We nctidod in our religious and church life ideal preachers and lead ers ^ we needed a separate church or ganization to be trained along the racial instinct of our nature and our po we r h developed as negroes. The Tfcev. ChaHes H. Casey, a Mis sionary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society and the Rev. Jtmes Hamilton, Missionary of the American Baptist Missionary Conven tion were the ministers sent to organ ize the church. The organization took place in a little two-room house on the corner of Campbell and Rutledge Streets and for a year or two worship ped at intervals In the white Baptist church and at private homes. The present lot was bought in May 1870 from Mrs. Rebecca A. Bonne y as the . town of Camden, containing 66 feet front aruT 198 feet deep on York Street. The church was incorporated January 18, 1889, to hold $10,000 worth of proper ty. The dedication occurred February 3, 1867, which consisted of an old, dilapidated building, which was twice remodelled and enlarged until in 1891 it was removed and the present build ing erected. In the organization January 22, 1866, the church called as its pastor, the Rev. Monroe Boykin, who contin ued actiyely in the same until May, 1901. His resignation was received on the ground that he remain pastor emeritus to the time of his .death, which occurred December 1st, 1904. At the resignation of the Rev. Monroe Boykin his son, the R,ev. J. W. Boy kin, was chosen as pastor so that for 58 years the church has had pnly. two pastors. 'The address emphasized the Golden Rule as- the leaven needed in Amer ica's cosmopolitan citizenship and to adjust the many problems, economic/ civil/ political, industrial, racial and religious. The address also contained the following reference to the present debate between the modernist and the Fundamentalist ? Today there is an attempt by the Modernist^ to dethrone the faith and belief of the Christian. This he does by denying the inspiration of the Scriptures qnd the divinity of Jesus Christ. And now^wh Ue~tfe lay no claim to be prepared to defend these thrusts against the assaults of the Modernists we are willing to hold them as sacred . until a substitute is given that will do for lost souls more than these truths have done. We be-, lieve in the infallibility of the Scrip tures, ih that they teach the fall and sinful state of man and the way of. his salvation. To fellow put its teach ing as relating tof'these > two facts makes it an infallible guide for man. In other words w^'believe that the Bible is a book which Kas as "Its sub ject sin and salvation and while there are historical facets and command ments recorded tfe^se all have to deal with man as a sinner and point for ward to his salvation. The denial of the Divinity of Jesus" Christ as, the Saviour of man throws man's salva tion upon himself and this man has been unable to do. Salvation is not to coifie through a process of reason ing or philosophy! in fact man's rea son was not impaired in the fall, it was his affection and will which con stituted the moral likeness to God and which we call soul that man lost in the fall. The Modernist disregards the intervention of Jesus Christ as man's Savior and in so doing he denies the supernatured birth or the regen erative act cf God which every be liever in Christ is able and willing to affirm not because he can explain it, but because it brings satisfaction to the guilty soul. p Nicodemus, in the time of Christ, could be regarded as a true represen tative of the Modernist .idea. He ac cepted Christ as a teacher from God, but not as God, and while he himself was a teacher and ruler of the Jews he felt like there was something lack BATTERY SERVICE. We have opened a battery service in connection with our other repay* de partment. Mr. W. J.
