I Interesting services At first Baptist Church Last Sunday?Gathering of All Denominations. Sunday morning the formal opening of the new Baptist church ediliec was propitious. The auditorium and Sabhath school rooms were filled to the utmost capacity and the aisles were supplied with several hundred chairs. It is estimated that there was a thousand people in the building. At the hour for beginning of the service, Rev. L. M. Rice, pastor, announced to the assembly that he very much regretted to disappoint those who had gathered there to hear Dr. Pot eat, but that owing to the fact that Dr. Potcat was on the wrecked train near the city of Greenville, which accident occurred on Saturday morning, made it impossible for Dr. Potcat to lie here. That although Dr. Poteat was not among the injured passengers, he was the host proper of the Ogden party composing the conference for education, consequently had to remain in Greenville. Mr. Rice said that he prevailed upon Dr. T. M. Bailey, socretary of the State Baptist mission lioard who was here, to take the place of Dr. Poteat, that he felt that Dr. Bailey who had been preaching for 53 years could interest the congregation. Dr. Bailey arose and said that he did not propose to take Dr. Poteat's place, hut would take his own. His text was c% i r\ # % % ziiu v-or. ironi winch lie ' preached a moat excellent and earnest sermon. At the conclusion of the services Mr. Rice said he was 1 truly glad to have so many of the < people of the city and of the coun- i try present. He was pardonably 1 proud of the house his people had 1 built and felt gratified by so good ] an attendance as it was an accept- i ancc of the invitation extended by i his church to the congregations of ( ithc other churches to worship with i his people. He then gave a brief ( history of the struggle to build this i lieautiful edifice, and said we need ] three thousand dollars to finish pay- I ing for it, ami I purpose to ask for < it now, whilo we arc all here to- i gether. By subscription and money contributions aliout $2,000 was raised. In the afternoon at 4 * o'clock, being tho hour for the j temperance meeting for men, the I house was again full. Rev.
