Oxford Baptists Dedicate New Church
Sunday marked the materiali
zation of a dream for Oxford Bap
tist Church, when some 400 mem
bers, church and civic officials
and other friends attended the
3:00 p. m. Dedication Service of
their splendid new church, in
which its first worship service
was held on Sunday morning. The
Rev. Roy L. Head, first full time
pastor of the church, was the oc
casion’s guest speaker. The Rev.
Alan Mitchell, Music and Edu
cation Director of Covington
First Baptist Church, was in
charge of music and choir ren
ditions, which contributed appre
ciably to the service.
The Rev. Kent Anglin, pastor,
graciously welcomed those pre
sent and gave special recognition
to many whose contributions in
various ways had helped make the
church possible. He expressed
appreciation for the helpfulness
of other denominations; and
pointed out that the inclusion in
the program of The Rev. Messers
John Tate, of Allen Memorial
Methodist Church, George Home
of the Episcopal Church of the
Good Shepherd and Edgar Calla
way, of Covington First Baptist,
was in recognition of their valued
counsel and aid, and an emphasis
upon the fact that the member
ship was more deeply interested
in being a Christian Church, than
just a Baptist Church.
The invocation was offered by
the Rev. Lavay McCullough, for
mer Oxford pastor, the Scripture
Reading from various passages
pertinent to the building of Hous
es of Worship was given by Rev.
Tate; the responsive reading of
the Litany of the Church was led
by Rev. Home; and the benedic

tion was offered by Rev. Calla
way.
Rev. Anglin gave a brief his
tory of the church, which began
as a mission sponsored by High
Point Baptist Church, and spear
headed by the then Stone Mt. As
sociation Missions Chairman
Bryant Steele, a deacon, and Rev.
Hudson Moody pastor.
1116 family of the late Rev.
J. P. Sheffield retired, who ser
ved the Mission as supply pastor,
was recognized during the dedi
cation in his memory, of the
church’s J. P. Sheffield Library;
and was followed by a solo “The
Upper Window”, rendered by
Mrs. Stanley Edwards, accom
panied by Mrs. James Milligan,
pianist.
Rev. Head, who brought the
Dedicatory message, expressed
pleasure in the privilege of par
ticipating in the memorable oc
casion; and stated, “We come
today to dedicate this building
to and for the Glory of God, to
this community and county.”
Then, repeating a statement of a
member who had said, “We have
built a building, now we must
build a church”, he predicated
his remarks upon the necessity of
not just dedicating the building;
but the membership as a body of
Believers, to and for the Glory
of God. “The church” he con
tinued, “Should be a spiritual
foundation, a house of training
for Kingdom Service, as well as
a House of Prayer, Praise and
Worship.” In conclusion Rev.
Head said, “You have striven
toward this moment, and are now
on the mountain top; but re
member from whence you have
come and from whence your st
rength came; keep your dreams
and visions for an even greater
future; and do not fall into spiri
tual complacency. Thank God and
keep praying as you work in the
task of building a Church, now
that you have built a building.”

No. 1 Killer On
State Highways
ATLANTA—(GPS)—“Ran off
road” is listed as the leading
direct cause of fatal traffic ac
cidents in Georgia during 1968.
“Head-on collision” was the se
cond leading cause, and “lost
control” was third highest.
These three causes accounted
for well over half of Georgia’s
traffic death toll last year, ac
cording to a State Patrol report
released by Col. R. H. Burson,
director of the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety.
Os the 1,760 fatalities included
in the report, “ran off road”
accounted 382 deaths; “head-on
collision” for 331, and “lost
control” for 264 —a total of
977 lives that were suddenly snuf
fed out.
More than half of the people
killed in last year’s traffic mis
haps were 32 years of age or
younger —a total of 952.
