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

he marvelled and refused to Accept it
because he believed it impossible and
because he could not explain it .But
Jesus pid not attempt to explain this
fact because it was asupernatural act
and not possible for man to grasp and
so he used a simple illustration: "The
wind bloweth where it listeth and thou
hearest the sound thereof, but cannot
tell whence it cometh, and whither it
goeth: so is every one that is born of
the Spirit." "these are truths to be ac
cepted by faith and 1104 by reason and
for the same reason that wcaccept
by faith facts in nature which we can
not explain for the samfc reason we
ought to be willing to accept facts in

to hold Up Jesus Christ who has prom

The entire service was characterized
for its harmony and kind feeling. It
was happily interspersed with the
plantation melodies sung as only our

memberfe desire to express their
