A splendid congregation greeted
Dr. Price at First Baptist Church yes
terday morning, as he conducted his
first service as pastor of that church.
Dr. Price In his opening prayer invok
ed the divine blessing on pastor and
people * and sounded a keynote of
solemnity to the occasion, that was a
benediction during the entire service.
Dr. Price did not preach a sermon, and
so fur os could be understood selected
no text in particular, but as he stated
delivered an Inaugural address and an
Informal heart to heart talk between
pastor and people. His subject prac
tically was tho “Difficulties that lie In
the pathway of the preacher,” and the
necessity for loyalty from people to
enable him to ovencome. His talk
was a delightfully frank one and his
simple description of the pastor’s dif
ficulties drew him very close to his
people. He stated some of the re
quirements of the pastor, and describ
ed one days work with its raultlfarous
duties. He said tho pastor must be a
visiting pastor, a diplomat, must have
more good sense than the ordinary
man, must be eternally patient, a
tactltlon, etc.
It was a wholesomo talk along prac
tical lines. Dr. Price stated be was
45 years old, 190 1-4 pounds in weight
and had been a pastor for 19 years.
He asked the congregation to ask and
expect good service from him and to
sustain him In their prayers, so that
the work might be a mission of serv
ice for God. He expressed warmly
his pleasure in coming to Waydross,
that he and his family had burnt the
bridges behind them and had trans
planted themselves In this new place.
In the greatest state In the south,
hoped that God had brought church
and pastor together to work out a
great future.
