HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE EAST POINT BAPTIST CHURCH NEW CHI RC1I EDIFICE AND PARSONAGE CHURCH DEDICATION. DEC. 6, 1903 The new church edifice, No. 3, was dedicated Dec. 6, 1903, and was the third church building erected by the Baptists of Kingsboro . The first one was moved half a mile westward and changed into a public school- house; the second had well served its day and generation and passed into history. It had echoed the voices of many earnest and faithful preach¬ ers: had witnessed the glad harvest time of many joyous ingatherings; had looked out from its silent seat upon a fair landscape and a smiling sea; had echoed the voice of song and sermon and had heard the rap¬ turous hallelujahs and the funeral dirge. Now the new building in a different spot and of a different type of architecture with a cosy parsonage to keep it company, became the centre of religious interest. The new one was more conveniently located, its architecture was more in keeping with modern life, but the memory of the old church with its tall spire and commanding location will long linger in the affection of those who were re-born there. An unusually large congregation attended the dedicatory service. Deacon Scott offered a solemn prayer of dedication. The scriptures were read by Rev. E. Bell , Methodist; Rev. J. C. Spurr preached the decicatory sermon, and Rev. J. W. Gardiner offered prayer. The after¬ noon service was well attended; Rev. Mr. Bell preached the sermon. On 2<)
