not be forgotten soon. Among many
other succinct things he said: Religion

man cannot live a criminal and die a
Christian This home has been pro-
yided for the old confederate soldier who
did his duty and barred his breast to the
bullets Of the enemy, and in defense Of

that you nave a home provided that is
not builded with hands, eternal in the
heavens Brother Kenney has a way Of
saying these things in a very forclble
manner, which puts q fellow to thinking"
