Excerpt from Centennial Monograph Celebrating the First 100 Years of the Baptist Church at Chapel Hill This is not a history. Dr. A. C. Howell several years age wrote a brief history of the church, treating the period from 1854 to 1924. He was the first to mine the old minutes. Brief sketches had been written as early as 185 8 but no one before had attempted to put together a story of the ensuing years. This is a Centennial Monograph. We have gathered together some interesting facts about persons and events connected with the first one hundred years of the life of the Baptist Church at Chapel Hill and we have documented them. We have collected some photographs which were about to disappear and some which would be difficult to procure later on. We have included a bio graphical sketch of the last six pastors of the church with a brief word about each one's ministry, compressed from a longer account which each man prepared himself. We have compiled a 100-year Statistical Table of the church and Sunday School and a 40-year Statistical Table of the wmu. We have appended a Centennial Roster of Members. Persons now living are too close to the past 30 years to write a history of them. The fuller papers from which we have worked, a collection of annual reports, volumes of church bulletins, min utes of committee meetings and other source material covering recent years will be deposited in the church archives. When the proper time arrives and the proper historian appears these will be available. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Blackman's Grove Missionary Baptist Church: One Hundred Years of Worship; An Informal History This history might be a little different than many, because I have been so fascinated with things that most of the church members take absolutely for granted. The nature of the farming community with its rock base of family continuity and the solid connection to the earth has never ceased to be a surprise and a wonder to me, a person who spent all of her years in cities and suburbs. This is why family history of church members took up so much of the time I've spent on this project. There is still more to do. I'm afraid that what was such a joy for me to write might be a little tedious to read for you who already know all this, and more besides. From that point of view, I'm apocr choice to write a history, but from my own point of view, doing this has been one of the most interesting and pleasurable things I have ever done.
