Title
1914 Sale of Baptist Church/Church Schedules, Rossville, Kansas
Description
Baptist Church Sold
June 11, 1914 The call for bids by the Rev. D. D. Proper of Omaha as published in the Reporter in May, resulted in the property being sold to Lester Parr and O. Goyette who pooled their interests and submitted a bid. The boys did not care to state the price paid but we understand the property was secured at a bargain. Two lots and the building were offered for sale.
The Baptist church was the first church erected in Rossville and the Rev. Mayer was the first minister. It was largely through his work the building was erected.
Years ago the building was mortgaged to build a small addition for use of the Sunday school and the decreasing number of the members made it impossible to pay off its indebtedness. Several months ago the mortgage was foreclosed and the property immediately put on the market for sale by Rev. D. D. Proper, Supt of Church Edifice Work, a division of the church which held the mortgage.
October 8, 1914 Tom Nealis has had several men at work this week dismantling the old Baptist church building. Mr. Nealis will use the best of the lumber in erecting a house on his farm west of Rossville.
November 12, 1914 The bell from the old Baptist church was shipped yesterday to A. S. Neil, of Windom, Kansas, to be placed on a church in that city.
June 11, 1914 Rev. J. T. Crawford, of Parsons Kansas was here Monday looking after business in connection with the sale of the old Baptist church. The bell and the pulpit and pews will be stored here until they are disposed of.
May 1914 Legal notice was printed for sealed bids for the Baptist Church property, two lots and building, in Rossville.

Now as to Federation. The question should be settled not by any class spirit nor with the thought of either pleasing or displeasing any individuals or set of individuals but with a view to the Glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom. The writer does not want his own relationship to the question considered in settling the matter. He is willing and ready to step down and out at any time if he is in any way a hindrance to the right settlement of this important proposition. He wants that done which will be for the best interest of the individual churches and the community as a whole regardless of whether it may mean the severing of his relationship to his present pastorate or not. The spirit of God should be the leader and director in this movement and we should pray much that He may guide us into all Truth.
