The Citadel Square Baptist Church was

pastor. He felt that the church had been for
tunats In securing the services of 30 able and
worthy q man, and he assured the pastor that
the congregation would prove In every way
worthy Of bis charge. He concluded by cross
Ing the platform and extending to Mr.. Cham
bliss, In the name and behalf of the Citadel
Square Baptist Church, the right hand offel-
Iowshlp. The Rev. ". q. Adams followed IN
q short address of welcome, in behalf Of the
clergy Of the city. The coming among us Of
q minister of Christ might seem to some to be
an unimportant occurrence, but there were
few things of more vital interest to the COM
munity, and he could not but feel that the
present occasion wa witnessed With pleasure
oy the heavenly hosts. The clergy sympathized
with the pastor about to enter into the duties
OK sS new charge, and they looked forward

which he hoped that the connection there
made between pastor and people might long
be perpesusted. He alluded TO the former
pastors Of the church, and augured from the

between them and the congregation, that
the ministry OF the new pastor would
be Q pleasant and enviable one. He
urged upon the congregation the me-
csssity of extending their hearty 90. cooperation
To- the pastor In all that he undertook, and OF
giving him their earnest sympathy in the trials
he would encounter. AS the pastor watches
over and ministers to his people, he should re-
cstve in return the love and sympathy of that
people. And as Paul needed the prayers of
the disciples In his behalf, much more 30 did
the pastor need the prayers OF his congrega-
ton. He impressed upon the congregation
the necessity of guarding the language which
they would use In speaking Of their pastor,
and Of always ~endeavorlng to render his min
istry an acceptable n by extending to him

ton. He concluded by assuring them that

by q benediction from the pastor.
