SALEM TO OBSERVE 2ND
ANNIVERSARY OF PASTOR
The Salem Baptist Church will
observe the second anniversary of j
their Pastor the Rev. J. C. Wade
starting at 3 p. m. Sunday Julyj
14th thru Sunday July 21st. We
cordially invite the entire city in
cluding the members and friends
of all churches to share in this
glorious occasion in honoring this
most inspiring and progressive
leader who in the two years of his
pastorate here the church has
more than doubled in membership
and hats been acclaimed as being
the most spiritual church in the
city as well as the most active.
Aside ffom accumulating the
largest bank deposit in its history
we take pride in stating that Sa
lem carries the largest following
of young people, actively engaged.
Aside from having all the regu
lar departments well organized,
we have three (3) regular choirs
namely the the senior, the junior,
the young peoples, the mens’ cho
rus, a Sunday School chorus, and
an orchestra. Rev. Wade began
preaching as a youth in April 1931
with the St. Andrew Baptist Chur
ch Tulsa, Okla and was ordained
in 1932. His first <1 11 was from
the Fountain Baptist Church in
naynes, Okla. where he served for
two years. He prides this charge
as it was the oldest church in the
state being now 113 years old.
Knowing that his education was
limited, he resigned and went to
Memphis, Tenn. entering Howe In
stitute for three years. He was
united in marriage to Miss Mary
Frazier of Memphis in December
1935, out of which wedlock came
four children. Working by his side
willingly, much praise and credit
is due his very modest and eo'm
pu'-eu .vne.
In Sept. 193S he was called to
the Middle Baptist Church, White
Haven, Tenn. In 1937 to the Shiloh
Baptist Church, Court Avenue, in
Memphis where he served eight
years. In Aug 1940 he was called
and accepted the pastorate of the
I Riverside Baptist Church, Mem
phis from which he resigned to
take his present pastorate of the
Salem Baptist Church here.
In addition to his pastorial du
ties, he has served as an evange
; list ’ during his entire ministerial
career. He served for six years a:
secretary of the Aid Benevolent
Association in Memphis; three
years as vice-moderator of the
White Haven District as well as
being a member of the executive
board of the Missionary and Ed
ucational Convention o 1 Tenn.
He has remodeled all of his for
mer pastorates and has extensive
pians for the remodeling of the
