  Christian Preacher: A Sermon Delivered in the Baptist Church, Tuskaloosa, Ala., at the Ordination of the Pastor Elect, the Rev. Joshua H. Foster, on Sunday, March 13th, 1853

  Thomas Fenner Curtis

  Joshua Hill Foster (1819-1904) was a professor at the University of Alabama and pastor of the First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa. Upon his election to the pastorate, Curtis, a previous pastor of the church, preached his ordination sermon. In the concluding paragraph, he wrote, “And you too, my dear young friends…will not you, too, retire and pray that the ministrations of your new pastor may be blessed to your own souls. That will be the greatest of all encouragements he can receive” (p. 24).
