Bill Hughes wrote the following memories of J. W. Wallace on 3/14/07 The first time I met J. W. Wallace, I was dating Ruby Young about April, 1949. She attended the West Nashville UPC and invited me to attend with her on our second date. After service, Ruby introduced me to Bro. Wallace. We hit it off real well. I liked him immediately and felt he liked me. I kept coming back with Ruby to the church. The more I was around Bro. Wallace, the more I liked him. I have never in my life met a kinder human being! His whole mannerism was that of a true christian and a perfect example of what all Christians should be. Four and a half months later, Bro. Wallace married Ruby and I in the little Pentecostal Church that one stood at the corner of 51 st and Delaware in West Nashville. I remember after service one Sunday, he and I were standing just inside the main entrance talking. Most of the people had already left. The conversation was about baptism. I was a Baptist from birth and at the age of 14, I was baptized the trinity way: in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Well Bro. Wallace wanted to baptize me the Pentecostal way: in the name of Jesus. In a half-hearted way and kidding with him, I said, “now Bro. Wallace, I have already been dunked once and I just don’t see any reason to do it again”. He looked at me with the kindest smile and the kindest voice said, “Bill, there is a difference and I just want to baptize you the right way. Suppose I write you a check and I put Father in the space where it says: Pay to the order of. The teller would probably laugh and certainly would not cash the check. The same would be true if I used Son or Holy Ghost. You see, we can all be fathers, sons and we are spirits. These are only titles. But if I used Jesus, the teller would cash the check in a minute.” Well I had never heard baptism explained to me in such a simple way and it did make a lot of sense to me. I agreed to be baptized. He gave me a big hug and we set the date. Bro. Wallace stands high on my list of great men and certainly is one of my heroes. Hughes Wedding of August 7, 1949 L. H.
