Goldston i Is New Member Of Religious Dept. j “Louisburg College has adopted a new mission for itself—namely, that of becoming a center of lead ership training for our town and country churches of the North Car olina Conference. As professor of Town and Country Work, my task is to help realize this new mission. My duties involve work within the College as well as work outside the College.” These are the words of The Rev. Wade Goldston, one of the newer faculty members at Louisburg. Born in Goldston, N. C. Mr. Goldston was born in Gold ston, North Carolina. When he was a young boy he had no idea that he would become a preacher. He entered the University of North Carolina with the thought of study ing civil engineering. It was not until near the end of his first quarter at the University that he felt his call into the ministry. De spite the unexpectedness of the call, it was clear that God wanted him to preach. To this day Mr. Goldston does not regret the change. Mr. Goldston then transferred; to Duke Divinity School where he | studied for three years and receiv- j ed a B. D. degree. He also at tended the Yale Divinity School for one year, receiving another B. D. degree. \ In 1939 Mr. Goldston married Miss Ruth Milton of Battleboro. The Goldstons now have two chil dren, Bonnie, who is a freshman in high school and Joseph Wade, who is in the fourth grade. Teaching Part Time At the present time, Mr. Gold ston is teaching only part time at Louisburg. He teaches a Bi ble course and a course for sup ply pastors. (Methodist pastors whose academic training is limited so that they are not fully ordained and are not members of the annual conference). In 1952, Mr. Goldston was a del egate to the General and the Judi cial Conferences of the Methodist Church. When asked what his hobby was Mr. Goldston replied, “It used to be bird-hunting and gardening. But since I have been at Louis burg, I have become interested in golf.” Mr. Goldston says, “I have been happy in my work. Everyone is good to me. I find that the college does a high grade of academic work and that the personnel of the college is very dedicated to its task. I look for Louisburg College, which has a rich history, to grow and to render its great est service in the years ahead.” The Rev. Mr. Goldston, may the students and teachers at Louisburg wish you luck.
