The Gulf Coast Building and Loan Association has been moved to Pass Christian. The reason of the change is because most of the stockholders and the general agent of the company reside in the Pass. The company is now in a flourishing condition and will continue to operate throughout the Sea counties as heretofore. (SCE 11/5/1892)
Gulf Coast Homestead and Bldg Assoc- The application for a receiver for the Gulf Coast Homestead and Building Association of Bay St. Louis, was heard by Chancellor Houston last Tuesday and after a trial which lasted all night, a compromise was agreed upon by the attorneys in the case, and a decree entirely satisfactory to all parties concerned.
There are few judges or chancellors in the State who would voluntarily travel the distance from Ellisville to Bay St. Louis and sit all night trying a case to accommodate litigants and attorneys as did Judge Houston in this case.
Chancellor Houston, by his uniform courtesy to the bar and to the public, and by the ability and fairness displayed by him in his rulings, has rendered himself extremely popular with those of our citizens who have made his acquaintance and especially with the members of the bar.

Gulf Coast Southern Yacht Club - Bay St. Louis, Miss, Aug. 4 (1894) At the regular monthly meeting of the board of mayor and aldermen at Waveland, last night, the following important resolution was introduced and unanimously carried by the board; That the privilege be granted to the Gulf Coast Southern Yacht Club to build in front of Nicholson or Coleman avenue a building with the necessary adjuncts for a club house, said privilege to be granted for 99 years and the club be exempt from any corporation taxes. Of course, enough members must subscribe before anything definite can be done. The shares will be $25 each for full membership in the club. Therefore, two hundred shares will make $5000, the said amount being amply sufficient to give a fine building with all the needed equipments. Several attempts have been made heretofore to organize a club, each time the enterprise has fallen through, but on this occasion there are those at the head who are not used to failures, and whose progressive ideas are so well known that the spirit is catching and will enthuse all listening to the arguments in favor of the club. The two gentlemen getting this matter before the board are sure of success, and declare that they will work until it is an assured fact. The object of the club is not only to give annual regattas, but to have a fine band of music, with a concert at least once or twice a week, with grand balls etc. In fact, the rules of the Southern Yacht Club, of New Orleans, will be adopted with amendments to make it even more attractive. One of the gentlemen agitating this question has just returned from a long trip and he was in Canada during last seek's Great Regatta, and says the people of Waveland and the Bay have no idea how extensively these regattas advertise this section, and of how much interest is taken in them all over the United States. It is thought every property holder at Waveland will subscribe, which will at once bring forward the desired amount and will also be the means of raising the value of real estate on account of the inducements for summer pleasures.

Gulfside Assembly - Certain places will forever haunt the memories of African Americans. Magic places that came alive with an energy born of our indomitable spirits. Power places that we nurtured through seemingly insurmountable odds. Sacred places where we experience the laughter and tears of the Black soul. Such a place is Gulfside Assembly in Waveland, Mississippi.
My first experience with Gulfside was as a child. A picnic ground on the beach. Golden place by the sea, land of sea gulls, warm white sands, ice cold watermelon, softball, shallow water, and the sun. Only place on the Gulf Coast where a Black toe could touch the white sands.
The Gulfside Chautauque and Camp Meeting Ground was physically realized on April 16, 1923. But the seeds of Gulfside were planted in 1758 when John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, baptized the first Black Methodist. He noted in his diary that, "...shall not our Lord, in due time, have these Heathens also for his inheritance?" The fact that these aspiring Black Methodists were looked upon as subhuman made it difficult, from the onset, for Blacks to find a comfortable place in Methodism.
In the beginning, northern as well as southern whites allowed Blacks to hear Jesus' words within the same building but only in the galleries. Black ministers did not have full autonomy over their congregations and could never hope to move up through the church hierarchy.
The Methodist religion is an episcopacy, i.e. bishops are the chief executive officers. The council of bishops is charged with the temporal and spiritual direction of the church. It is a democratic organization with the General Conference being the supreme legislative body. The General Conference members are half lay and half clerical. Each bishop has his own jurisdiction composed of church conferences.
