"Let all things be done in decency and in order" St. Paul
Page 2
In taking charge of this Parish, I have entered? upon my labors, under ___
ordinary difficulties for varied causes, the present position, and prospects
of this church in this county, appear? as low and discouraging as they well
can properly be. This state of things has been brought about by a want of
regular ministrations of a clergyman - by removals from the county of many
churchman, - by deaths or by defections from our communion; and by the rapid
____ of the various forms of dispute.? In the last address of the Bishop of
the Convention, this is the only Parish in the Diocese, that he has observed
on the ________.
Under these circumstances I enter upon my change here with a heart-somewhat-
cast- down as I rely not on my own labors for sucess in this Parish but- am
the P____ and G___ of the Great Hand of this Church. I trust that my feebles
efforts - here in his service may rebound greatly that his glory and ____
_____ eternal welfare of all committed to my charge that out of our present

bringing many souls into thy church to their ___ good, for Christs sake,
Amen.
No regular Records of this Parish, was Registered of the ministerial and
performed into have ever been kept as far as I have been able to learn.
What ever registration, I have found, of Baptisms, confirmations,
communicants, marriages, and deaths, will be ___ accurately transferred into
"The Parish Register"
No minutes of any of the many Vestry meetings that have been held are now to

Of the various clergymen that have ministered in this place previous to, and
since the founding of the Parish, I can learn hither or nothing with any
degree of certainty, I am from what I am able to find only by a few _____
registrations of Baptisms and the like. From that it appears that the first
clergyman that officiated with anything like regularity

Counties during the years 1832-1833
2. From the year 1833 to the year 1844 the Reverend William N. Hawks seems to
have had more or less charge of this Parish.
3. From this 1844 to about the end of the year 1848 the Reverend Nicholas C.
Hughes had charge of the parish. After Mr. Hughes left - until the 4th of
November 1852, This Parish seems to have been without a Rector at which time
4. The Reverend Arthur F. N. Rolfe became the Rector, and continued in charge
until May 1st 1854. After that date until July 12, 1855 this Parish was again
without a Rector when by this action of this Bishop - The Reverend
Ferderick FitzGerald took charge of this Paris, residing in the town of
Goldsboro, and giving the services of the fourth Sunday in each month to this
place. He entered upon the active discharge of his duties the 25 of Nov 1855
Entered by me Frederick Fitz-Gerald Rector
Upon taking charge of this Parish I found the church edifice greatly out of
order from the efforts of time, neglect, and hard usage from meetings for
political and thus? purposes apart from religion.

From this paper I learn of the call of this Rev. Mr. Singletary ? to take
charge of this parish. From this sources I have heard that Mr. Singletary did
officiate in this parish in connection with his charage at Washington but how
often he officiated here each minister, or the date of his ministrations
I am unable to find out.
This paper also shows that the church edifice was, by authority of the
Vestry, open "to all orthodox ministers of respectable standing in their
churches." This custom of allowing other than Episcopal ministers to
officiate in the church edifice was the reason why the building was never
consecrated by Bishop Ives. The custom, ___ , grew out of the original wish
of the first subscribers towards the erection of this building. As I have
found the original subscription paper preserved, I have attach it in this
book, as it may be found very valuavle in the future.

What I found in Kinston when I became Rector,
December 1st, 1898.
St. Mary's Episcopal Church
This Church was destroyed by fire. February 18th 1900.
Received and accepted, as of this date, a letter dimissory from the Diocese of
North Carolina in favor of Rev. John Hammond GRIFFITH, who had been elected
Rector of St. Mary's Parish, Kinston, and S. John's, Pitt County.
Mr. GRIFFITH had already taken practical charge of those Parishes, adding that
of Holy Innocents', Lenoir County; in all of which, as well as in the outlying
country and vacant neighboring congregations, he has been doing active and valuable
work.

St. Mary's Episcopal Church Badly Damaged By Fire. A Hard Fire to Extinguish..
Insurance $2,000 On Church and $300 on Furniture. Church to be Rebuilt.
The fire alarm sounded yesterday morning at 11:20 o'clock. It proved to be the
Episcopal Church. A crowd quickly gathered, and the benches, windows, doors,
organ and all things that could be saved, were quickly torn from the burning
building.
The fire was discovered about 15 or 20 minutes after services in the church
had begun. It was caused by a defective stove flue in the southeast corner
of the building.
A line of hose was quickly laid by the fire company, and then an intense agony
of fifteen minutes had to be endured waiting for a stream of water.
At last it arrived and two streams were played upon the slowly burning building.
It seemed at first as if the fire would be quickly extinguished, but on account
of the construction of the roof it was impossible to get water between the shingles
and the ceiling, and for three hours and a half two streams of water were kept
constantly pouring upon the building. It seemed at times as if it would be
impossible to save anything except the foundation, but when the water was shut off,
shortly after 3 o'clock, a considerable part of the building was left standing.
The roof was burned almost completely off and the sides are badly burned.
The firemen did fine work in saving the steeple..
There was $2,000 insurance on the building and $300 on the furniture. There was
$1,000 insurance on the rectory. The church building is valued at about $4000 and
is damaged to such an extent that it will take the whole amount of the policy.
The furniture is valued at $500. A carpet that cost $150 was ruined. It is
probable that the whole amount of insurance on the furniture and building
will be collected, making the church receive $2,300 in all.
The rectory was not damaged.
A line of hose was laid within a few minutes after the alarm, and had sufficient
steam been up to have turned on a stream of water, the fire would have probably
been extinguished before much damage had been done.
As had happened several times before, the engine was unduly slow in steaming..
The engine has been made to steam in less than five minutes, and that it should
take 15 minutes to get sufficient water, and this to happen several times, is the
glaring fault of some one.
The members of the fire company worked heroically to reach the fire and stuck to
their posts of duty for hours in the severe cold, and are worthy of the gratitude
and commendation of the people of the town. Many citizens, not members of the
company, did valiant work.
A meeting was held at the home of Rev. J. H. GRIFFITH Sunday night, and committees
were appointed to solicit subscriptions to rebuild, to secure the grand jury room
in the court house for temporary use, and to attend to other matters. It seems to
be the opinion that the present church will be rebuilt.
The Free Press extends sympathy to the Episcopalians and makes a suggestion that
something more substantial be extended, in the way of subscribing to help rebuild
their church. We are sure the people of Kinston will gladly extend their aid.
The rector, vestry and parishioners of St. Mary's Church desire to express their
hearty and grateful thanks to the Kinston fire department, embracing both the
white and colored companies, and all others who lent a helping hand in subduing
the flames which destroyed their church Sunday.
We are deeply sensible of the heroic and valuable work done by these men and
take this means of expressing our Heartfelt appreciation.
The Board of stewards of the M.E. church have tendered the use of their
church to the Episcopalians to be used to hold their Sunday school services,
and any other services that will not conflict with the Methodist services.
The ladies of the Episcopal church will give a silver tea at the rectory for
the rebuilding fund of the church, Friday evening, form 6 to 10 o'clock.
All are cordially invited. It is hoped that those attending will leave their
silver mite with the ladies to help in the good work.
Mme. ELRADO, the Palmist, has offered and will contribute to the Episcopal
church half of the proceeds taken in during her stay in Kinston. She is located
at Hotel Bailey and will be at the service of the public during the following
hours: 9 to 11 a.m.; 1 to 5 and 7 to 10 p.m.
Consecration of St. Mary's Church
Kinston, N.C. (no date)
On Whitsunday St. Mary's church, Kinston, in the diocese of East Carolina was
consecrated by Bishop STRANGE at a service attended by all the diocesan clergy,
lay delegates and visitors to the diocesan convention, then in session, the vestry
and parish congregation. The church was presented to the bishop, to be received
into his jurisdiction as a working member of his spiritual family, by Mr. George V.
COWPER in behalf of the vestry. Morning Prayer was said by the Rev. J. B. GIBBLE
and the Rev. L. G. H. WILLIAMS. The bishop was assisted in the celebration of the
Holy Communion by the Rev. Edward WOOTEN, the Rev. Drs. W.H. MEADE, and Robert B.
DRANE, and the rector of St. Mary's the Rev. John H. GRIFFITH, Jr. At this service
the council sermon was preached by the Rev. W. E. COX, as noted in the report of
the convention, published in a recent issue. After the consecration the rector
gave interesting data of the origin and growth of the parish. An offshoot of
Christ church, New Bern, its records date back to November 1762, when George III
gave an acre and a half of land in "Kingstown" for a "chappel." Under adverse
conditions the progress of St. Mary's has been slow, but Mr. GRIFFITH, who has
served the parish since his ordination to the priesthood in 1898, has seen its
communicant list increased from 50 to 132, and a promising future seems now
assured.
Diocese of East Carolina
A Record of Usefulness.
Should the Rev. John H. GRIFFITH, Jr., the rector of St. Mary's, base his
thankfulness upon the Biblical maxim, that "it is better to give than to receive,
" his "cup" should be well filled in this thanksgiving season.
During Mr. GRIFFITH'S five years' incumbency of St. Mary's parish he has been
the moving spirit in the erection of four churches and one parish school, as
follows: St. Mary's, Kinston; St. James', Ayden; St. Luke's, Winterville;
St. Augustine's (col.), Kinston; and Holy Innocents' Parish School.
This is a record of usefulness that any worker for the upbuilding of humanity
should be proud to possess, and the beauty of it is that the buildings are all
paid for save one over which there hangs only a small debt.
