“Signs Of The Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical, December 1956 Issue December 1956

ORDINATION OF ELDER JOHN F. TISDALE – Dale Co., Ala.
	Pursuant to a call of Hopeful Church, Ozark, Ala., for his [John F. Tisdale’s]
ordination, the following Presbytery convened at the church on Sept. 23, 1956. 
The day was spent in sound preaching, with Elder H. G. Morgan preaching the
Introductory, followed by Elder W. A. Williams and John F. Tisdale.  Luncheon
was at noon, then preaching by Elder Wm. H. Smith and Elder F. A. Collins.
	The Presbytery organized by electing Elder J. J. Collins as Moderator and
Brother J. T. Collins as Clerk.  Hopeful Church chose Deacon Frank Bowman as its
mouthpiece.  Elder F. A. Collins examined Brother Bowman on Brother Tisdale’s
qualifications, as given in I Timothy 3:1-7, and preached an able ordination
sermon.  Elder W. A. Williams examined Brother Tisdale on the Articles of Faith.
 Elder H. G. Morgan spoke the ordination prayer, and Elder Wm. H. Smith
delivered the charge to Brother Tisdale.  Then the Presbytery delivered Elder
Tisdale back to the church, and the church extended the right hand of fellowship
to him and wife.  It was a most impressive service.
	The following served on the Presbytery:  Elder J. J. Collins, Moderator; Elders
F. A. Collins, Wm. H. Smith, W. A. Williams, and H. G. Morgan;, Deacons H. T.
Collins, J. B. Waters, Frank Bowman, and E. E. Gilmer; and Clerk J. T. Collins.
