<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The following excerpts from <i>A History of Smyrna Baptist Church 1873--2008: 135 years in three southern Rusk County communities</i> (J. W. Griffith, R. L. Vaughn, Waymark Publications, 2009, pages 33--34), the Smyrna Church folks moved from the Chinquapin community to Redland sometimes between 1892 and 1901. Another possibility might be that be that the Baptists built the building at Redland and then the Methodists bought equity in it. But it seems unlikely based on other presently supposed facts. Hopefully other records will turn up to clarify it.</span></div>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"It is not known from the records when Smyrna Church moved from Chinquapin Springs, but it must have been between June, 1892, and November, 1901. In 1892 a special act of the church was necessary to allow the Methodists the use of the church house on Wednesday night preceding the fourth Sunday in July. Upon removal to Redland, about two miles east of Laneville, the Baptists and Methodists shared the church building, as indicated by an act of conference on November 30, 1901 instructing the deacons to confer with "proper officers of the Methodist church and have a flu built for the stove."</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> "On October 19, 1907, a committee was appointed to confer with the Methodist brethren 'of Redland Church to see what they were willing to pay to the Babtis (sic) for their part of church house at said place.' The committee was to ask for $100."</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"On March 14,1908, the committee made its report and the church discharged it. Unfortunately the substance of the committee's report is unrecorded."</span></blockquote>

It consists of two parts -- the Redland Christian Harmony Singing and the Old Pine Grove Sacred Harp Singing. The Convention will be at Redland on Saturday April 21st. We start at 10 a.m. and sing <i>a cappella</i> from the 2010 edition of William Walker's Christian Harmony song book. Loaner books will be available. Lunch will be served. Make plans to come out and sing with us (or listen , if that is your pleasure!)

No events have been held recently at the Old Redland Church. If you are interested in using the building, please contact one of the board members.<br /><br />A piece of corrugated roofing on the southwest gable was blown up by the wind. Kenneth Mann came down last Saturday (January 22), tore off the old damaged piece and replaced it with a new one. Mr. Mann is the person who did roof work for us in 2009. Thanks, Kenny.<br /><br />Not too far off will be:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rusk County Singing Convention</span>: the first day of the Rusk County Singing Convention will be an all-day Christian Harmony singing at Redland on Saturday April 16, 2011 (The next day will be at old Pine Grove). This is a week earlier than previous years, because the regular weekend (4th) is Easter weekend this year.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">McCune Cemetery Homecoming</span>: the McCune Cemetery homecoming and reunion will be held Sunday, May 29, 2011 (It is held annually on the last Sunday of May).</span>R.

Several new people were in attendance, some who had never attended a Christian Harmony singing before. We were especially pleased to have Mr. & Mrs. H. T. Parris of Winona, TX visiting with us. Mr. Parris is the son of O. A. Parris, who helped create the 1958 revision of the Christian Harmony book. Many of the singers came to our house on Saturday night for food, fellowship and more singing. We had a great singing the next day at Pine Grove also.<br /><br />$63 donation was received for the Redland Community Center.</span>R. L.

LIC was formed in the fall of 1992. This group promoted several projects around the Laneville area -- including a sign at Barnhart Bridge, the Helpinstill Memorial Park, the Redland Cookbook, and the restoration of the Redland Church Community Center. Through the work of the LIC, the old building received leveling, a new coat of paint and other renovations. In 1993 the officers were: Gene Barron, Jack Mosley, Opal Jennings, Carol Arnold and Bobby Helpinstill.</span>R. L.
