dress OF welcome In very graceful
manner, After having listened to two
addresses OF welcome he felt at a loss,
he said, to make Il reply to even one.
This was his first convention and he
didn't know how to reply He felt very
much as the Irishmnn who fell down
an embankment and when asked by
his friend II he was killed, answered.
mo, oil am not dead, but oil am
speechlessl" But Mr. Ludlow was
mistaken. He made an excellent re-
Spouse which proved him TO be very
far from "speechless." He compared
the "sea OF upturned faces" to the
many waves OF the ocean as the only
fitting thought to compare 10 the
grand scene before him. He quoted
from the scriptures as follows:
This is the generation of them that
seek Him, that seek ting face. o Jacob.
Selah. Lift up your heads o we gates,
and be we Int up, ye everlasting doors,
and the king OF glory shall come In
Who Is this King OF Glory7 The Lord,
strong and mighty, the Lord mighty
In battle. Lift up your heads, o ye
gates; even lift them up we everlasting
doors; and the King OF Glory shall
come in. Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord Of hosts. He is the King Of
Glory. Selah."
Following the response and Texas
state song" was the convention sermon,
by Rev Warner b. RIGGS, Of Dallas.
Rev. Riggs chose for his text Matthew
1891, Jesus said unto him. Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart and with all thy soul and with
all thy mind The discourse, which
was chiefly upon the power OF love.
was a helpful and earnest one, each
sentence and thought being appropri-
ate to the occasion and especially en-
couraging to the workers who formed
his audience. Human love is sweet
| est when II leads to n divine and better
| love" was familiar quotation the
speaker would improve by substituting
the words 'sweetened by divine love"
| He would put the love of the Creator in
the first place and human love second
| Nothing would take hold OF the whole
| heart but the love of God, and nearer
/ we were to God the nearer we were to
| one another.
