A Poem.
On the sixteenth day of August
In Eighteen Hundred Seventy-Three
A church was constituted
By a neighboring presbytery.
From Zion Hill, Sparkman and Deason
Called with an urgent plea.
Seventeen souls with letters
Came forth in covenant to agree.
Elder Sparkman offered prayer,
For preservation and unity.
One hundred fifty years later
Some in covenant still agree.
May God bless these people,
May God be their light—
The Bible be their practice
God’s Spirit be their guide.
