Plum Branch
Sesquicentennial
Meeting A Success
. * **
By eleven o’clock last Sunda;
morning a large crowd had gath
ered at the Phim Branch Baptist
Church to celebrate its 150th an
niversary. People gathered there
from Georgia and different placer
in South Carolina. Some were for
mer members, some relatives of peo
ple living here, and some were just
friends. A show of hands reveal
ed quite a large number were for
mer members. Several former pas
tors wrote expressing regrets that
they could not come. The Rev.
George Sexton was the only one
who did come.
The opening songs were impres
sive, being chosen with care for
that occasion. A splendid chorus
was rendered by the choir. After
announcements and the offering
an impressive duet was sung, by
Miss Louise Bracknell and Miss
Bertie James, one of the teachers
teaching in the school at Plum
Branch.
The pastor read the 12th chapter
of Romans and Rev. Mr. Sexton
brought the message that it seem
ed all were willing to say the . Lord
sent to vs through him. This writer
has* heard nothing better from that
pulpit since living in this commu
nity. It was heart-searching, in
spiring and convincing.
At the noon hour a sumptuous
meal was served on a specially pre
pared table at the church which
revealed that the good people, of
Plum Branch knew just Mow to pre
pare a meal to suit all appetites
and the bountiful dinner was a
proof of this generous spirit that
we hear has always been character
istic, of the .good people of the
church and community.
After dinner and a short social
hour that all enjoyed another ser
vice was held. After devotional
led by the pastor, the history of
the church was read by Miss Annie
Lou Lankford, which was full of
interest to all, after which a few
older ones, not all Baptists, spoke
a few words about the church and
former pastors as they remember
ed.
A chorus was very impressively
rendered by the choir and, Mr.
Charlie Wilkie, a former member,
and some of his children and other
relatives sang two very impressive
specials, which were followed by a
talk by Mr. Burnett from the Ridge
Association, which was very timely.
Mrs. Orr gave a very impressive
Chalk Talk while Miss Louise
Bracknell sang ' slowly and em-
phasizingly the song, “The Church
in the Wild Wood.” Both the pic
ture drawn and the song seemed to
delight everybody.
A voluntary offering in cash was
made to' go on building fund of
more than $1^.00 and a note was
given by a former member stating
a liberal sum to be turned in later.
Everybody felt they had spent a
profitable day in real worship and
in friendship. The closing song
was “God Be With You.”
