THE BAPTIST BRETHREN DEDICATE THEIR
NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP.

Short History of the Old Church?Description
> of the New Building with Sketch of the
Pastor?Faithful Work of Members.
The first Sabbath in May was a great
day with the Baptists at Denmark, for it
was then they dedicated their beautiful
new house unto the Lord. It was an ideal
day in the low country. As I journeyed,
early that morning, to be present on this
memorable occasion, I could not help rejoicing
on account of the day. The sky
was clear and the sun was shining, flooding
the world with its warmth and brightness.
It was a glorious morning. A sweet
peace, a holy calm had settled down upon
the world and it was broken only by the
puffing and roaring of our train. It was
CaKKoHi riov in the dear old Sunny
luc oauuavu v>?j
' South.
Early in the morning the beautiful
town of Denmark was alive with people
coming in from the country, from Bamberg,
Blackville, Branchville, St. George,
Orangeburg, Barnwell and other places,
to be present at the dedicatory services.
Dr. C. C. Brown, an old Barnwell boy,
was to preach the sermon, and he proved
a drawing card.
Denmark is a town of eight hundred
people, situated just half way between
Bamberg and Blackville and seven miles
distant from each. It is made up of two
5^ towns, East and West Denmark. The
name of the place used to be Grahams.
There are three trunk lines of railroads
S, running into Denmark, the Southern, the
Coast Line, and Seaboard Air Line. It is
+y a lively town and some day will be a place
' of much importance. The people are kind
and hospitable and live in beautiful
homes with seeming abundance about
them.
THE DENMARK CHURCH.
Springtown church was chartered by
the State in 1803. In 1840-3 Mr. Lenten
Lee, W. B. Dowling and T. J. Counts
withdrew from this church and formed
the Cedar Springs Baptist church. For
some reason or other this church never
had a house of worship. Later on it be^5.
came the Graham church, and in 1852 a
church lot was given by Mr. H. B. Rice, a
S building erected, and Brethren Lee and
_ Dowling were elected deacons. In 1901
this building was burned and the church
V dedicated last Sunday has come forth
frozn the ashes of the old building. The
mother went all her life without a church
^ home, the daughter receives her worship;
ers and friends in a beautiful temple! The
I* church has had some able pastors and
preachers, among them Brethren S. B.
Sawyer, W. D. Rice, M. R. Suates, a converted
Jew who did a great work, Henry
Hartzog, L. Cuthbert, J. C. Browne,
? .Tames Buist. Wm. Haynsworth, W. E.
Johnson, J. I. Ayres and B. M. Foreman.
THE PRESENT PASTOR.
Bro. Foreman came to the pastorate in
g January, 1903. He found the church without
a building and torn by internal strifes,
and the prospect looked gloomy. But the
discouraged band could not long withstand
his hopeful and brave ministry. His
sermons were thrilling, powerful and
hopeful and -soon the little band was at
\ work and gathered inspiration and
strength as the days went by. The breth^
ren all recognize and appreciate the excellent
work of their pastor. He has been
\ a foreman to this band of workers, lead
^ ingand directing with cautious wisaom
r but earnest enthusiasm and skill. He has
written himself deep in the hearts of his
people, and the message he has written
\ will last as long as life itself. B. M. ForeK
-N man was born in Aiken county, near
f Beech Island, I should say some thirtyfive
or forty years ago. He was educated
l at Milledgeville, Ga., and Mercer UniverA
sity, graduating in 1888, and from the
Seminary at Louisville two years later.
He joined the church at the age of twenty
. and baptised his father, Dr. Isaac Fore\
man, a leading man of Beech Island, and
O also his mother into the church. His first
^ pastorate was in Barnwell cou nty. He
was pastor at Four Holes church, in
\ Orangeburg county, for nine years and
^ did a fine work with this good church.
0?" He has also been pastor of the Black
Creek church, Darlington, and at Georgetown,
where he had to leave on account
f of his health. He married Miss Martin,
of Virginia, 1892, and one child has blessy,
ed the union. Mrs. Foreman is an experi/
enced worker and a great help to her
[ husband. Their home is in Orangeburg,
_t?- varr toon nnftn house to Dreachers
^ wiiwc ill
y and general denominational workers.
^ Bro. Foreman is a bard worker, a successful
pastor, a preacher above the
average.
THE NEW BUILDING.
About twelve months ago the church,
having hardly a membership of eighty in
!N number, began the erection of their new
^ house. Bro. C. C. Ellzey was made chairman
of the building committee with
\ Brethren W. H. Kearse and G. W. Hightower
as his assistants. Bro. Ellzey runs
>. a farm, livery stable, hotel, meat market, J
and yet he had time to push the work and
give much time to it, and by his faithfulness
made a name for himself that will be
worth more than fine gold. But the members,
few in number, did noble work and
L
there was much sacrificing that the house A
might go up. One lady, working for V
wages, gave ten dollars per month for
several months. The house is a beautiful S(
one and would do credit to a much larger
place than Denmark. We hope later to
give a cut of the building. The inside is
beautifully finished. The ceiling is a four
square, hanging canopy, double cone, the
windows are colonial art glass, the inside
is painted white with gold trimmings.
There are two open vestibules, three Sun- fr<
day-school rooms, and the pews are circu- in

beautifully furnished and on Sunday was an
artistically decorated. The dimensions of wi
the church are 51x71, and wftycomfort- be
ably seat four hundred people. Mt cost gr
when finished $4,000, all of which was
paid for except a balance on the pews, in
This is a magnificent showing and the to
church is greatly to be congratulated. As be
it is such a small band that has done all
this, I cannot refrain from mentioning th
the names of some of the more loyal ones th
who have stood by the committee: First th
are Senator and Mrs. S. G. May field, 31rs. th
J. R. 3Iartin, J. E. Steadman, Miss Turn- is
er, W. F. Rice, I. C. Metts, C. E. Tyler, J. fri
E. Tant, 31rs. Joe Guess, Mrs. James, Mrs. T1
Abstance, 3Iisses Carroll and Reaves. re
THE DEDICATION. Wl
The church was filled to overflowing, is
There were present, to take part, the pas- as
tor of the Methodist church, M. W. Rankin,
of St. George, and Dr. C. C. Brown, da
One special feature was the excellent ca
music by the choir. Dr. Brown was in T1

thrilled the people and stirred them with ex
a mighty power. His text was from Ezra eh
1:3, and as he pictured the Jews toiling wj
and sacrificing to rebuild the temple he da
evidently touched very deeply the experience
of many of his hearers, and be- di
cause they had had this experience it de
made their hearts thrill and their eyes to ac
become misty with tears. ar
Pastor Foreman briefly but interestingly
gave the history of the church and of H
their struggles and successes. A good TJ
collection was taken, after which the pas- M
tor made the dedicatory prayer and the <ll
beautiful church at Denmark was given be
to the Lord. Surely rich spiritual bless- th
iugs will fall on this people for this gift
of love. th

But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead-and-oil is between; it is ev
the old-fashion paint. But zinc has come

as long as lead-and-oil. ^

id its thriving Sunday-school, together v
ith its very large church membership, t
speak for it many years of continued tl
owth and prosperity. b
This church has always beer inathrivg
condition, having always been able t
secure as its pastors some of the very d
ist men in the South Carolina Synod. p
For a number of years past :.t has been h
e custom to observe Ascension Day, f
ereby commemorating the ascension of c
e Savior of the world into Heaven from p
is earthly pilgrimage. An annual picnic t
held for this purpose, and ,s attended n
:>m far and near by all denominations,
ae morning part of the day if. devoted to s
ligious exercises, and af.er dinner, d
hicn is served on the grounds, the day o
given over to the young people to spend
they see fit.
So last Thursday, May 12th being the
,y for the annual celebration, the picnic
me off, and as is usual, without a hitch,
le weather was perfect, a more beauti- tl
1 day could not have been picked, and tl
cept the little dust that rose from trav-1 w
2rs' vehicles going and coming there
as nothing to mar the comfort of the ?
y. i
At an early hour the roads from every ?
rection were filled with vehicles of all ?
scriptions, and at 11 o'clock there were I
>t less than 1000 persons on the grounds, ?
id they were still coming. I
Exactly at 11 o'clock the sweet notes of ?
ymn No. 14 filled the large building. ?
tie choir rose en masse and Hang as only ?
t. Pleasant people can sing. The church ?
lickly filled to overflowing, as every- ?
dy knew what was coming, and then ?
e real programe commenced. ?
Hymn No. 79 was sung by the choir, ?
e congregation joining in, and after the ?
ose of the hymn the congregation re- q
ained standing while the pastor, Rev. \
E. Monroe, asked Cod s richest bless- ?
gs on all those present. No. 55 was then ?
ng, and Mr. S. W. Copeland in a few ?
ords welcomed the throng to Mt. Pleas- 3
it and the annual picnic, which was im- ?
ediately followed by Hymn No. 96, and ?
en the first speaker, Rev. E. M. Mc- ?
issick, was introduced by Mr. Copeland ?
id to say that his address, while short, ?
as interesting, would be attested to by ?
eryone present. I
Hymn No. 160 was ably rendered by ?
e choir, after which D . J. B. Black, of ?
imberg, was presented and made a ?
ort, spicy address that was much appre- ?
ated.. He paid the ladies a very high ?
mpliment, and said that any young ?
an wanting a wife should come here to g
:t it, as he had found one here years ago c
id he was sure that there were more 1
ire that would make good wives. After \
aging another hymn, No. 167, Pastor ?
onroe in a few very appropriate words ?
inounoed that dinner would be spread ?
the grove and invited everybody to ?
ime up and join him. The closing song ?
as then sung, after which the benedic- *
an was pronounced by Rev. McKissick
id the crowd immediately repaired to ?
e many tables in the grove, measur. v
g in all nearly 200 feet, where the dis- ^
ay of eatables beggars description. The

tables, and still there wasn't room for ^

He Carried His Samples.
During the Louisville Presbytery last
reek, says an exchange, Delegate Haw
borne, of Princeton, told this story of
ioneer days, and vouched for its accuray:
One of the circuit riders in my part of
be State was extremely fond of pepper
auce, and as he could seldom find any
trong enough at places where he stopped,
e always carried a bottle with him. He
appened to be at a hotel one night,
bough he usually stopped at the home of
friend. A man sat across the table from
im, and, seeing the sauce, asked if the
linister would share it with him. The
equest was granted, and the stranger
oured out a liberal allowance of the
auce into his soup. At the first swallow
p made a verv wry face and blurted out:
Minister, do you preach hell?" "Yes, was
ie reply. "Why do you ask?" "Because
ou are the first prea'cher I ever saw who
arried samples," was the answer.
THE LADIES favor painting their J
burches, and therefore we urge every

uantity of the Longman & Martinez
aint toward the painting. Wears and '
overs like gold. Don't pay $1.-50 a gal- <

church, near Ehrhardt, to attend the an- -nual
picnic of that community. The day
was an ideal May-day, and the drive was
pleasant and invigorating. All along the
route could be seen all kinds of vehicles
wending their ways to Mt. Pleasant The |
Mt. Pleasant picnic is an annual affair
and everybody, far and near, anxiously ;
look forward to the event, which takes
place on Ascension Day.
On arriving at the church I found an
immense crowd gathered. The beautiful ' j
grove was crowded with carriages, bug- *J
gies and wagons in which could be seen ; mi
baskets, trunks and boxes filled with supplies
for the inner man. The forest re- %
sounded with the merry laughter of the /' |
young people of both sexes, who perhaps,
had not as yet reached an age to know a \ M
care or a sorrow. While standing at the .Xj
well taking copious draughts from
"The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound ||
bucket"
and gazing upon this inspiring scene of ' -M.
peace and happiness, I could not refrain 'f%
from muttering,
"Fond memory paints the scenes of other
days,
Bright be their memory still;
And bright amid those joyous scenes al- M
ways
Is the picnic on the hill." '~:Jm
The exercises in the church consisted -Jg
of addresses and music, a detailed account x|I
of which is given by our regular correspondent
in another column.
At the close of the exercises in the p
church preparations for dinner were com- : M
menced and soon the several long tables '.yip
were* groaning under the weight of vj
the many delicious edibles prepared by
the good women for the occasion. I was '-M
taken in. charge by Mr. and Mrs. S. W. 'w
Copeland, and it goes without saying that
they dispensed their hospitality with lav- '-"M
ish hands. The dinner was-truly elegant
and the supply was bountiful. Besides
cool and sparkling water from a well on
the grounds, ice-cold lemonade was dis- 'M
pensed free to all. In fact, nothing was S
left undone to make the occasion pleasant

In the afternoon I spent a few hoars in , :M
the town of Ehrhardt. This is a new >||
town but is rapidly building up. The -IfM
streets are regularly laid off and are kept
in a clean condition. Businesss seems to
be lively and the people are hospitable, >|
clever and sociable. Mr. C. Ehrhardt,
who is one of the pioneers of Lutheran? : ^
ism in that section, is the moving spirit M
of the town. His counsel and advice in
every undertaking looking to the interest JS
and upbuilding of the town is always ^

has just been erected in the town, which >*:S
is built in the most modern style of archi- Si
tecture and is an ornament to the town. V J
On account of a prevailing drouth the ;:J|
crops in that section are considerably
backward and the stands are poor. ' M
The Herald's subscription list was
made healthier as a result of the trip; *
and for this and other courtesies shown m
me I return my sincere thanks to those ; ^fj|
good people. H. C. Bailey.
The J udge Rewarded.
A certain judge who possesses a degree \
from a leading university dropped in one
day at a new thirst resort, incidentally to %
see the decorations of the place, says the
San Francisco, Call. When the judge entered,
one of the barkeepers was discotxrs- '-&}
ing to a customer upon the beauty of a J'
stained glass window.
"Dat window," he said, "is de hand"
somest one in any joint in town. I don't
know what dat Eyetalian on it means.
Wish't I did."
"That motto," said the judge, obliging-' >|f
ly, "is 'Dum vivimus vivanius,' and means,
'While we live, let us live."
"Say," replied the barkeeper, "ain't dat
great! I'm mighty glad to know what -;|3
dat spiel stands for."
The next day, the judge being in the
same neighborhood, ag^in entered the resort
to get some refreshment, when the
barkeeper cheerily greeted him:
"Good mornin', Professor. Glad to see
you. Say, I'll give ouse some good whiskey
dis time." :ty
GROWING ACHES AND PAINS.
Mrs. Josie Sumner, Bremond, Texas,.
writes: "I used Ballard's Snow Liniment
in my family three years. I would not be
without it. I used it on my little girl for
growing pains and aches in her knees. It *
cured her right away. I have also used it
for frost bitten feet, with good success.
It is the best liniment I ever used." 25c,
50c, $1.00. Sold by Dr. H. F. Hoover.

"Yes," said Representative CushnTan, of
Washington, in a speech a night or two
ago, "there are a lot of men out in the . b
country who are for Roosevelt. I asked
one of them why one day, and he replied: %
'Well, I'll tell you. He is the only man in
public life who looks worse than his cartoons,
and he must be all right."
