SERMON BY DR. BAILEY.
Fully Six lluiiflreti People Gathered at
White Plains Sunday to Dedicate the New
Church—A Number of Addresses Made by
Prominent People.
There was a great gathering at
White Plains Sunday, the occasion
being the dedication of the church.
Fully six hundred people were pres
ent—people that were orderly, at
tentive and generous. There were
fat people and lean people, tall peo
ple and short people, rich people and
poor people, pretty women and gal
lant men, bright-eyed boys and girls
and chubby, rosy-cheeked, crowing
babies. But everybody seemed bub
bling and running over with content
ment and happiness—an indication
that the people are prosperous and
well to do.
The dedicatory sermon was preach
ed by Dr. T. M. Bailey, of Greenville.
The text was Mark 8: 84; “And when
He bad called the people unto Him
with His diciples also, He said unto
them, Whosoever will come after me,
let himeeny himself, and take up his
cross and follow me.”
The subject of Dr. Bailey’s dis
course was: “Terras of disciple
ship.” Mr. Bailey delivered a learn
ed discourse that was full of practi
cal suggestion to the members of the
congregation. He was given the very
best of attention .throughout the ser
mon.
The dedicatory prayer was ollered
by Rev. F. C. Hickson, of Gaffney,
and was characteristic of Mr. Hick
son, being appropriate, earnest and
supplicative.
The pastor, Rev. M. F. Samples,
then suggested that an offering for
State missions be taken ud. and the
congregation responded in a most lib
eral manner.
Rev. Wm. White, the old patriot,
as it were, pronounced the benedic
tion, after which the congregation
was dismissed for dinner.
The committee bad prepared a
long table and the good ladies pres
ent began, without ceremony, to la
den it with an abundance of good
things, a cordial invitation to partake
of which was extended everybody
present—and almost everybody re
sponded to the invitation. Editor
Frank Parrott of The News avers that
he never saw such a dinner and at
9:30 o’clock Sunday night be was
still praising it, and at the same time
complaining of his lack of discre
tion. As for ourself, we would like
to say that were we not already wed
we would certainly go to work and
hunt out one woman of that neigh-
borboed that fries chicken in such an
exquisite manner and if she were mar
riageable we would endeavor to make
it lively for some other fellow before
he could carry off the prize. It was
delicious. In fact everything was
good and in abundance. If there is
each a thing as a man getting enough
at one meal to last him a whole week,
J. Eb Jefferies and W. G. Carpenter
can certainly afford to fast the re
mainder of this week.
After dinner the congregation re
assembled in the church and listened
attentively to a sermon by Rev. Wm.
White. Mr. White is a very earnest
Christian worker. He has promised
to furnish The Ledger with a history
of the White Plains church for pub
lication. At the conclusion of the
afternoon service the congregation
was dismissed and at once began to
depart for their respective homes.
The White Plains church is a nice
frame structure,with a seating capac
ity of about four hundred. It is
finished in good style, being plastered
within and neatly painted inside and

out. The aisles are carpeted, as is
ilso tho pulpit. The building is es
sentially a Cherokee county product.
The lumber was sawed at Mr. M. C.
Lipscomb’s saw mill,near the church,
of logs grown in Cherokee county,
the work was done principally by
those who reside in Cherokee and the
carpet was made by the Gaffney Car
pet Manufacturing comany. The
building cost about $81)0, but it real
ly is a |1200 or 11400 building, as Mr.
Lipscomb sawed all the lumber with
out charge while the timber was fur
nished in like manner by those in
terested. The building committee
consisted of T. L. Bryant, Gaston Lit
tlejohn, M. A. Donald, M. A. Phil
lips, F. M. Fowler and M. C. Lip
scomb With such a splendid com
mittee as the above there is little
wonder that so much would be ac
complished at such a small cost. But
everybody worked together and that
accounts for their success.
M. C. Lipscomb, or ‘ Uncle Nee
ley,” as he is familiarly called, is a
leading spirit in the neighborhood.
He lives within a few hundred yards
of the church and his home is a ren
dezvous for the peoole of.that section.
His bluish gray-eyes seem to| twin
kle with delight when an approach
ing vehicle begins to slacken at his
gate He is as modest as a woman,
but his great heart beats vith a love
for mankind that at once stamps him
as a man among men.
This section of the county is made
up of good, thrifty, honest people,
who live at home and serve God ac
cording to the dictates af their con
sciences. Among these may be men
tioned the familiar family names of
Lipscomb, Littlejohn, Bryant, Prid-
more, Petty and a score of others
too numerous to mention. It is one
of the ideal sections of Cherokee
county, with rolling sandy land; and
the crops, while short, seem to be in
as good condition as those of any
section of the county we have
visited.
