Sardis Baptist Church

The new Baptist church at Sardis, eight miles north of Jackson, was formally dedicated on Sunday.  Rev. Mr. Culpepper preached the sermon from Matthew 18th chapter 17 to 25th verses.  The sermon was an able and appropriate one and showed the speaker to be endowed with much thought and study.  Rev. J. G. Kimbell offered the dedicating prayer.  After one hour's recess and a sumptuous dinner was enjoyed, Prof. Crumbie entertained the large congregation with some excellent music while Mrs. Bledsoe presided gracefully at the organ.  Then followed a sermon by Rev. J. G. Kimbell.  The assembly was exceedingly large but orderly and the day was enjoyed by all.
