Friend: Are you happy? Is-there real peace in your heart? Do you feel that your life is being spent in a way that pleases God? If not, chances are you may be violating one of God's rules of living. These eternal rules of God for a happy. useful life are found in the Ten Command• ments. If you will understand them; and live by them, they will change your life. I plan for the next ten Sunday mornings to preach from these "commandments". It will be a genuine pleasure to have you join us in the study of these unchangeable laws for a blessed life. E. W.

E.W. "Buddy" Price Jr. said Saturday he has accepted pastorship of the newly formed Grace Be.[>tist Church effective May 1. - l"i'~·s statement to The Enterprise that he has "accepted the call" at the new church comes less than four weeks after he announced his resignation as pastor of Green Street Baptist Church, the city's largest. While many of the members of the new church ap- parently are persons who left the 2,868-memberGreen Street Baptist over a list of 10 anti• charismatic resolutions, several of the persons who have formed Grace Baptist have said the church will be Southern Bap• tist, rather than a part of the charisma tic renewal. Wayne Honeycutt, a member of the steering committee established to form Grace Baptist, said the committee is in the process of preparing a statement about the new church and declined to com- ment on the situation. Dr. E. W. Price Jr. Wilfred Eddinger of Thomasville, chairman of the board of .deacons at Green Street, said a pulpit committee has been formed to fill the vacancy which will be created when Price leaves May l. He said the committee will be seeking an interim pastor at Green Street, and later a perma- nent pastor. "We're trying to regroup and shuffle our forces and see who is going to be with us, but we're not going to roll over and die," Eddinger said . . One of the persons who says he will definitely not re• main at Green Street is long-time member Argie Wood, who says he has decided to join the new church. "I'm just one of those they wanted out," Wood said. "They haven't come out and told me that, but they said in that number 10 thing (the 10th resolution adopted by the board of deacons) that those who did not want to go along with them should slip quietly out. That's what I've decided to do." He finds that the new church makes him feel more free in his worship, and said those in attendance at organizational meetings have appeared.to be v~ry hap• py. He thinks Price's hiring will further serve to in- spire the new congregation. "There's going to be a lot of hallelujahs over there . ·(at Grace Baptist in reaction to Price's decision)," Wood said. Attendance at the most recent organizational meeting for Grace Baptist has been estimated by church spokesmen at between 200 and 300. Some 71 families have reportedly pledged their support to the new church, and it is believed that the membership is already committed to a $106,000 first-year operating budget. Plans have been made for Gr1ace Baptist to hol~ ser- vices at Tomlinson School. Church members said the group was interested in meeting at And~ews High School, but that location proved unsuitable because the air conditioningsystem at the school is not in opera· tion during the summer months. Two weeks before resigning as pastor of Green Street Baptist, a position he held for 22 years, Price appealed to the church board of deacons to "establish some guidelineswithin which we can all worktogether in the days to come." The deacons instead adopted a list of 10 guidelines some members felt was too restrictive. The resigna• tion of Price and three associate pastors widened the split within the congregation, and Eddinger acknowledged that some members would probably. leave the church as a result of the board's action. , f ~ • , ' /II i • r ~ \'\ v ,. 0 . igh Point Minister 'y ' Baptists Name Board Chief By VIRTIE STROUP been active in matters ·within Slaff Religion Reporter the denomination.
