Title: Grist mill church.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: GRIST MILL CHURCH #S-5015 CLINTON, Tenn. -- Rural parishioners enter St. Mary’s Chapel, their tiny, unpainted one-room church hewed from rough pine boards and containing a home-made pulpit. Located in the village of Carroll Hollow, near here, it was until recently a roadside grist mill where the neighboring farmers brought their wheat and corn to be ground. But they thought it more important to have a church. So a small, white cross replaced a business sign over the doorway and the hut was immediately converted to the service of God.
