Charles Sydney Price (1887–1947). Born in 1887 in Sheffield, England, to Mary Hannah and Charles Henry Price, Charles S. Price became a prominent Pentecostal evangelist and author. After his mother’s death at age four, he was raised by his father and stepmother, attending Wesley College for Methodist scholars until 18. In 1906, he briefly joined the Royal Navy but was discharged due to a knee injury. Emigrating to Canada in 1907, he worked on a railroad crew before moving to Spokane, Washington, where he converted to Christianity at a Methodist mission. Initially a Free Methodist pastor, Price drifted into theological modernism, explaining faith through psychology, and pastored in Santa Rosa and Lodi, California. In 1921, intending to debunk Aimee Semple McPherson’s San Jose revival, he experienced a profound conversion and Spirit baptism, transforming his ministry. Price launched evangelistic campaigns across the U.S. and Canada, preaching salvation and healing, with thousands reportedly converted and healed, and began publishing Golden Grain magazine in 1926. He authored 21 books, including The Real Faith (1940), The Story of My Life (1944), and Spiritual and Physical Health (1945), emphasizing God’s power. Married with a family, though details are sparse, he died on March 8, 1947, in Pasadena, California, after a heart attack. Price said, “Faith is not a mental exercise, but a living trust in a living God.”
