Hephzibah is in Richmond -county about 14 miles south-west of Augusta. He -is the youngest of 11 children of whom 6 are dead and 5 -are living. His father, Thomas Walker, was buried the -day before he was born. His mother, Mrs. Hannah Walker, -died in 1866, little Charley being, at the time, only 8 -years old.</p> - -<p>Thus, even before Charles was born, his mother was -draped in the weeds of widowhood, and he first opened -his eyes on the light of this world as a fatherless child. -Thus, also, in early childhood, even before he had any realizing -sense of his true condition, he was compelled by -the stern, but beneficent discipline of an Alwise Providence -to wail forth the cry of complete orphanage.</p> - -<p>On Wednesday before the first Sunday in June, 1873, -while young Walker was hoeing cotton, he decided to -seek the Lord. He left the field that day and went into -the woods, and remained in the woods from Wednesday -afternoon without eating, drinking or seeing anyone, until -the following Saturday afternoon when he was converted. -He was baptised on the first Sunday in July by his uncle, -the Rev. Nathan Walker, then pastor of the Franklin -Covenant Church, a faithful servant of the Master, who -still lives, shedding light and love among the people.</p> - -<p>Young Walker immediately became an active and -zealous Christian, and was impressed with the thought -that he was called of God to preach the gospel. Accordingly -in 1874, he entered the Augusta Institute, a theological -school located at Augusta and presided over by the -late Joseph T. Robert, D. D., L. L. D. This school has -since been moved to Atlanta and is now the Atlanta Baptist -Seminary. In school. Mr. Walker was soon celebrated -for his great ability, for his thoroughness of scholarship, -and for his exemplary deportment. He had only 6 -dollars when he entered school. The first term he did -his own cooking; he cooked only twice a week—on Wednesdays -and Saturdays; so great was his desire for knowledge -that he felt that he could not spare the time to cook -every day. When he had spent his six dollars he picked -up his little bundle and was on the eve of leaving school. -Some of his student friends finding out the reasons of -his proposed departure and realizing what a loss it would -be to them and to the cause, remonstrated with him and<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_3"></a>[3]</span> -urged him to be patient a day or so longer. One of his fellow -students, the Rev. Dr. Love, of Savannah, Ga., went -so far as to promise him that he would provide for him -personally until arrangements could be made. Mr. Walker -consented to remain; meanwhile Dr. Robert had been -informed and he, in turn succeeded in interesting three -gentlemen of Dayton Ohio, in young Walker and through -the kindness of these gentlemen, the motherless and fatherless -boy was enabled to prosecute his studies for 5 -years at the Augusta Institute.</p> - -<p>In 1876, in the 18th year of his age, Mr. Walker was -licensed to preach, and on the first Sunday in May, 1877, -he was ordained to the sacred office of the gospel ministry. -He soon became noted as a preacher, possessing, as he did -supreme eloquence and a fair knowledge of the scriptures. -In 1878 he was elected pastor of the Franklin Covenant -Baptist church, of which he was a member and by the -time he was 21 years old he was pastor of four country -churches and one city church; viz: Franklin Covenant Baptist -church, Hephzibah, Thankful Baptist Church, -Waynesboro, McKinnie’s Branch Baptist Church, Burke -county, Ebenezer Baptist church, Richmond county, and -Mount Olive Baptist church, Augusta, Ga. In 1880, he -pastored the First Baptist church in LaGrange. In 1882, -he was called to the pastorate of Central Baptist church, -Augusta, Ga., and the following year resigned and organized -the Tabernacle Baptist church, of which he is still -the honored and distinguished pastor.</p> - -<p>Rev. Walker built the Tabernacle church in 1885 at a -cost of $13,500. It is a handsome brick structure, and was -dedicated in three months from the day it was commenced. -In the beginning its membership was 200. At present the -membership is 900, and Rev. Walker knows them every one -by name. Recently a new pipe organ has been put in the -edifice at a cost of $1,500. The building has already proved -too small to accommodate the great crowd that go to hear -this great man preacher, and efforts are being made to remodel -the house of worship and make it much larger.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_4"></a>[4]</span></p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 425px;"> - -<img src="images/walker.jpg" width="425" height="700" alt="" /> - -<p class="caption">Rev.

Members of the Board of trustees of -the Walker Baptist College and treasurer of the American -National Baptist Convention, and Business Manager of -<span class="smcap">The Weekly Sentinel</span>.</p> - -<p>The honorary degree of “Doctor of Divinity” was conferred -upon him in 1890 by the State University of Kentucky.</p> - -<p>During the summer of 1891, Dr. Walker in company with -the Rev. E. R. Carter of Atlanta, Ga. took an extensive -trip through Europe and the Holy land and besides staying -for awhile in England and on the Continent and in -Asia, he took a peep over in to Africa. On his return he -lectured throughout the South and in Boston and New -York and every where with profit and success. Many of -the leading newspapers throughout country spoke in terms -of praise and admiration of the wonderful preacher and -lecturer.</p> - -<p>The Rev Dr. Walker is only 34 years old—quite young -indeed to have accomplished so much for the advancement -of Christ’s Kingdom.</p> - -<div class="blockquote"> - -<p>When Rev. Mr. Walker was leaving Hephzibah, in 1880, for LaGrange, -one of his white friends, Col. A. C. Walker, gave him a letter -of recommendation which speaks for itself. Here is what the letter -said:</p> - -<p>“The bearer, Rev. C. T. Walker, is the fourth in descent from a -family of Negroes brought from Virginia to Burke county by my grand -father in 1773. As slaves they were noted for their admirable qualities -and as freemen have sustained their reputation.</p> - -<p>Charles, by his energy, has obtained an excellent education and -for two years has been licensed teacher of one our public schools. His -character is irreproachable in all respects and by none is he esteemed -more than by the more intelligent white citizens among whom he -lives. It gives me great pleasure to testify to his worth and I most respectfully -ask for him the generous consideration of the new people, -with whom he is about to cast his lot. We sincerely regret his departure -from among us, as he was exercising a most happy influence -with his own race here.”</p> - -<p>Rev. Walker came to Augusta in 1883. In 1885, upon the completion -of Tabernacle church, and on the day of its dedication all the -papers of Augusta spoke in highest praise of the work accomplished -and invariably referred to the edifice as an everlasting monument to -the perseverance and energy of the pastor, Rev. C. T. Walker.</p> - -<p>Rev. Walker spent the fall of 1886 in the North, soliciting funds -to complete the payment of his church property. His church had by -their own efforts paid $10,000 of the $12,000, which the lot and edifice -cost. He carried many letters of recommendation from leading men -of the South.</p> - -<p>Dr. Love, of Savannah, pastor of the largest Baptist church in the -world, wrote: “Rev. Charles T. Walker is one of the leading men of -Georgia and is alright.”</p> - -<p>Prof Wm. E. Holmes of the Atlanta Baptist Seminary, wrote: “I -cheerfully recommend Rev. Mr. Walker and his cause to the public<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_6"></a>[6]</span> -and bespeak for him the success which he richly deserves.”</p> - -<p>Hon. Patrick Walsh, editor of the Augusta Chronicle wrote: “Rev. -Walker is doing a great good among his people. His church is a great -credit and both he and his people are worthy of substantial aid.”</p> - -<p>Hon. R. H. May, then Mayor of the city of Augusta, wrote: “He is -a perfect gentleman, devout christian and deserving of all confidence.”</p> - -<p>The testimonials Rev. Walker carried with him on this trip -might be multiplied ad infinitum.</p> - -<p>In New York Rev. Justin Dewey Fulton wrote: “My people who -heard him pronounce him a preacher of more than ordinary ability. -His voice is good, his learning modest and impressive, his language -excellent, and the aim of his preaching is to glorify Christ.”</p> - -<p>In Boston, Rev. J. Horatio Carter, D. D., wrote:</p> - -<p>“Brother Walker is an able, earnest, logical and eloquent preacher, -and worthy of support.”</p> - -<p>Rev. Walker was present at the organization of the American -National Baptist Convention in 1886 at St. Louis, Mo., and served on -the committee of constitution, and otherwise played a most prominent -part in its organization. He has attended every session every year -since, and is one of the most prominent members at its annual sessions.</p> - -<p>In 1889, at Indianapolis, Ind., before this body, the Rev. Mr. Walker -preached the National sermon and that with telling effect. -At its conclusion, the Rev. William J. Simmons, D. D., L. L. D., Pres. -of the State University of Ky., walked up to the minister, shook his -hand and said, “You have won your D. D., and I’ll see that you get -it.” The following summer, at the close of the school year 89-90, Dr. -Simmons, true to his words had the trustees of the State University of -Kentucky to confer upon Rev. C. T. Walker, the honorary degree of -Doctor of Divinity which he has worthily borne ever since.</p> - -<p>Writing up this session of National Baptists the Rev. Dr. Daniel -A. Gaddie, took occasion to say the Rev. Mr. Walker was “a young -man full of life and piety, beautiful and attractive in delivery. He is -an electrifying orator and waxes warm in the end. He is a great revivalist, -a finished and pointed workman.”</p> - -<p>In this same convention Rev. Walker won for himself a national -reputation for his wise and conservative stand when the body had under -consideration the outlawry, lynch law and other outrages of the -South. He was referred to, by the leading newspapers of the country, -as a strong man in a crisis. The other members of the body, almost to -a man, indulged in wholesale abuse of the South; maligned its name, -hit the white people of the South some death dealing blows; excitement -ran high, Rev. Walker gained the floor and made an able speech -counseling wisdom and moderation and stating that he believed that -the best element of the white people in the North were trying, to create -a public sentiment so powerful against these outrages that they -will become impossible.</p> - -</div> - -<p>On 21st, of May, 1882, Rev. Walker delivered the annual -address before the Atlanta Baptist and Spelman Seminary -on the Needs and Responsibilities of the Colored -Race. It was a masterly effort. In opening the speaker -said:</p> - -<p>“When our mind like the swiftly passing scene of a -panorama take a retrospective view of the past history of<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_7"></a>[7]</span> -our race, and when we remember that for over two centuries, -ignorance, the mother of bigotry and superstition, -the bane of society, the prolific mother of weakness, held -our people with its slavish chains, we must admit that -many of our people have made commendable progress, and -that the influence of religion, morality and intelligence is -increasingly felt.”</p> - -<p>The speaker dwelt at length upon the Needs, and then -took up the Responsibilities. Said he:</p> - -<p>“We are responsible for our souls. The soul is immortal, -and cannot like the body, undergo decomposition. It -will live forever. When the mountains are melted in the -general conflagration, when the pyramids of Egypt are -levelled to the ground, when the refulgent stars, the silent -messengers, shall cease to dance in their golden sockets; -when the moon, the queen of night, refuses to give her -silvery brightness; when the sun, the king of day, the centre -of the solar system, shall be blown out; when earth is -shrouded in her regalia of mourning, and when ocean shall -gather all her waters together to chant her funeral songs, -the soul will be living somewhere in God’s distant universe.”</p> - -<p>In 1884, Rev. Walker delivered the annual address on -the first day of January in Augusta. His subject was “<span class="smcap">A -Review of the Past</span>”. It was a wonderful exposition of -the progress of the Negro in America. In the course of -his remarks, he paid the following tribute to Abraham -Lincoln;</p> - -<p>“Probably no man since the days of Washington was -ever so deeply and firmly imbedded and enshrined in the -hearts of the people as Abraham Lincoln. He won for himself -a place in the hearts of our people that time can never -efface. By his noble deeds, emanated from his kind -heart, he wrote his name on the pages of future time as legible -as the stars on the brow of evening.”</p> - -<p>In his address at the laying of the corner stone of the -new building of the Atlanta Baptist Seminary, in 1889, -Rev. Walker said among other things:</p> - -<p>“If all men would recognize the fatherhood of God, the -brotherhood of man, pledge implicit obedience to the divine -law and practice the scriptural code of ethics, there -would be no race problem. The race problem is born of -wickedness, inflamed by modern fanatics, stimulated and -encouraged by speculative, unworthy politicians. The Negro<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_8"></a>[8]</span> -is a loyal, peaceable, law-abiding citizen; among them -you will find no anarchist, nihilist, liberalist, communionist -or strikers; the Negro has always been found on the -side of the constitution of his State and the Union; he isn’t -asking for supremacy or social equality; he only desires -an equal advantage in the race of life; he asks that you do -not throw impediments in his way; don’t close the gates of -prosperity against him because of his color; don’t hate him -because he was a slave, he was not so by choice; don’t despise -him because of his ignorance, it is not his fault; don’t -ignore him on account of his poverty, he has had no rich -ancestors to bequeath him landed estates. He is unfortunate, -pity him; he is struggling, help him. A bright day is -dawning. Citizens of every rank and section of this country -are uniting hand in hand to advocate such legislation as -will remove illiteracy. The last legislature of Georgia deserve -honorable mention for making appropriation for -public education. Our distinguished State School Commissioner, -Judge James S. Hook, is trying to put Georgia in -line with other states intellectually and he is succeeding admirably. -Since God has raised up so many friends for us, -both at home and abroad, let us cultivate a friendly relation -with those among whom we live. Let us have a hand -in solving our problem, shaping our destiny and making -for ourselves a creditable history.”</p> - -<p>In the foregoing, we have attempted to give a short -sketch of the career of Dr. Walker, together with a few -testimonials from his friends and some extracts from his -addresses. The half has not been told. The full history -of his life would make a large volume. It ought to be -written, and will be some time. Suffice it to say that, -as a man, Dr. Walker is modest to a fault, generous in the -extreme, patient, forbearing and unselfish; as a minister, -he possesses great fervor and eloquence, and as a pulpit -orator probably he is excelled by no man in this country. -The common people hear him gladly. His highest aim is -to be an humble servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.</p> - -<div style='display:block; margin-top:4em'>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A SKETCH OF CHARLES T.
