High Street Baptist Church.
The High Street Baptist Church was
organized Oct. 9th, 1900, and is therefore
not six years old yet. The present
house of worship was built in 1901.
The congregation worshiped in the
Levy Hall till their own house was
completed. The church started with
only fifty members and now has nearly
three hundred. The growth has been
steady. No sensational or high pressure
methods are used to win members
or to raise money. Simplicity and
direct appeal to Christian conscience
and intelligence characterize the worship

and work of this church. The
pastor, the Rev. Henry Wise Tribble,
D. D., has been in charge since the
church was instituted. He had served
the First Baptist Church of this city
five and a half years before he took
charge of the new organization. As
many of his present flock came out
of the mother church, he has been
their pastor about eleven years. The
church has in its membership a number
of the most vigorous young men,
as well as some of the most faithful
women, in our city, and its future is
bright. Its Sunday-school room is
well arranged for such work and its
main audience room is one of the
prettiest to be found anywhere.
