"Now You Know"
Notes from our Historical Heritage Commmission |
Alms Basins
The original silver alms basins which were given to the church by the Trustees of the Colony of GA in 1751 were lost/ destroyed in the ruins of the church during the Revolutionary War.
In 1820, three alms basins were bought by general subscription and marked with the name of the church and dated 1820. The large alms basin was given by Miss Mary Clark in memory of her father.
In 1920, this was published in "Church Bells" November 1920: " St. Paul's possesses three massive and beautiful alms basins. For convenience sake we need four, one for each aisle. These alms basins were given by the congregation in 1820 - one hundred years ago. It is proposed in this year, 1920, we give another. To this end we ask that anyone having old silver that they have laid away will make a donation for a new alms basin. Almost everyone has something. On December 12, it will be received at the church together with our offering."
The fourth alms basin is marked with the name of the church and dated 1920.
