Roper, for twelve years pastor of tbe First Baptist church In tbi.s city, yesterday resign ed tl?is pastorate, and tbis morning announced that be would accept tbe! call from tbe First Baptist church at I Petersburg, Va. Mr. Roper's.connec tion with tbe church in tbis city will j bo severed on March 31 and be will j assume his new duties the first Sun day in April. Big Virginia Church. The churcb at Petersburg, Va., is next to the largest Baptist church in that state, being surpassed only by a church at Richmond in number of members in the congregation. It is an excellent charge and much honor was bestowed upon Mr. Roper in call ing him to fill the pastorate of this church. Mr. Roper name to Spartanburg on March 1. 1900. Prior to this time, he had served as pastor of the First Bap tist church in Canton, O., for four years. Prior to this he was pastor of the Baptist church at Ittica, N. Y., for three years, and ho preached at tho First Baptist church in Rochester, N. V., for one year. Mr. Roper is a na tive of Laurens, S. C strides Forward. When he came to Spartanburg there was but ono Baptist church in the city, and the home of this congrega tion was an out-of-date structure standing on tho corner of North Church and Wofford streets. The membership was 100, and this was the total number of members of the Bap tist congregations in Spartanburg. Now there are 1,740 members of three Baptist churches here. When Mr. Roper came to Spartanburg the an nual offering to foreign missions was $70 and this was all given by every Baptist in Spartanburg. Last year the First Baptist church alone gave $2,500; to foreign missions. The membership of that little church, as has been stated, was 400. Today there are 77"> members of the I First Raptlst church alone, tlfiO at j Southsldo Baptist church and 000 members of the other Baptist Church es. The growth of the First Baptist church would have been even more remarkable but for the fact that Mr. Roper was instrumental in organ izing other congregations, when bis became too large for one Church, In litoo, just twelve years ago, the annual expenses of the First Baptist churcb were $2,f>00. Today the church expends annually $l.'t,f>00 and this amount Is being increased each yenr. A Now Home. Aside from this excellent showing, a new home ha? been erected for the church at the corner of Main and Dean streets. This edifice, together with the lot, was erected at a cost of $4f>,000 and tdday the church owes on the building and lot less than $10,000. In addition, the church ownes a large lot and home house on East Main St., noxt to tho church, and the sale of one-half of thin lot would pay off all the indebtedness of tho congregation. His flrent Influence. These bare facts illustrate the suc cess that has marked Mr. Roper's stay in Spartanburg, but the good that ho has done, tho mills that have been saved, iho poor, down-trodden persons who has been helped by his Influence and aid COnnol bo illustrated. Mr. Ropor bas boon a factor In the educational, moral, religious, elvi': and physical advaiu oment of Spartan burg. Itecause his Inlluonce had grown to be a part of the life of the city his departure from Spartanburg will leave a great vacancy in the best part of Spartanburg, a vacancy that can never be felt, not only by the Bap tist denomination but by every church In Spartanburg. Methodists, Presby terians. Episcopalians, Lutherans and Catholics alike will miss Mr. Koper. The young men of the city, whom he has often befriended, will miss him, and his resignation hns caused gen uine, sincere regret over the entire city. Resolutions. Spartanburg, S. C, Feb. 25, 1912. Copy of resolutions read before the entire congregation at the First Bap tist church, Spartanburg, S. C, at the Sunday morning service February 2."., 1912, immediately after Pastor Lewis M.
