Lancaster Pastor Accepts Call to
Woodruff Church.

Rev. j. III. Boldridge, ID. D., of the
First Baptist church of this place. at
the morning service last Sunday,
rendered his resignation as pastor.
DR.. Boldridge will leave his present
charge to accept the pastorate of the
large Baptist church at Woodruff
this state.
1t was with distinct feeling of
regret that the community learned
of DR.. Boldridge's decision, for dur
ing his residence here of about
eighteen years, both he and his fam
lily have thoroughly identified them
selves with our community. Dr.
Boldridge is a man of marked ability.
clear thinker and a profound stu
dent.
In Offering his resignation Sunday,
DR.. Boldridge said he did this under
the deep conviction that he could do
more good elsewhere and in the hone
that another pastor might do more
good here. He spoke very tenderly
and affectionately of the kind and
faithful cooperation of the church
through these many years.
While kind to all churches and
parties, during his ministry here, he
has fearlessly and boldly proclaimed
what he conceived to be the truth
especially on moral questions without
fear or favor, being deferred by no
one. During his pastorate. the pres
ent house was built, the parsona ge
enlarged, and the entire lot has been
greatly improved. The Baptist
church now rests on vastly frmer
foundation. He has been great
friend to the Second Baptist church
here, helping to organize it and do
ing work for year on the hill after
the factory was begun and getting
things in shape there for it's organiza-
tion. He has been n faithful worker
in the Union meeting of the Moriah
Association and in the Moriah Asso-
citation itself. He has been for years
trustee of Fuman University. and
has been a dtligent student of all ed
ucational questions. His relation to
the other denominations has been
uniformity pleasant and among them
he has many very warm friends. To-
wards all he has been kind in feel
ing, respectful in word and deed
and anxious to be encouragingly
helpful. He has been identified with
all the foremost movements Of the
town and believes in increasing
progress. He firmly believes in the
Bible and in the triumph Of the
Kingdom Of God.
He was born in Culpeper county,
Virginia, and is a graduate Of Rich
mond College, and both a full gradu-
ate and post graduate OF the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary.
DR.. Boldridge says some of the best
people in the world live in Lancaster.
He goes to the Woodruff church some
time in January.
Mrs. Boldridge is a sister of Judge
John A. Moon, of Tennessee, chair
man of the important committee on
postofiice and cost roads of the ma
tional house OF representatives. and
is woman ~ many fine qualities.
both Of mind and heart.
The News joins the many friends
of DR.. Boldridge and his family in
wishing them success in their new
