The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-05-19

the thirteenth chapter of First Corin-
thians.
4 once regarded this chapter simply as
q thing of beauty, to be hung up, looked at
and admired, but now 1 have come to re-
gard it as everyday, practical religion,
said he.
1.-THE one thing of which we are going to
be least ashamed when we stand before
the great judgment seat is our charity
Dr. Kellys comments all of the
verses of this chapter were pertinent ana
very interesting, as were his remarks ON
brotherly love and unity afteward.
1.-THE most blessed truth in the Bible"
said he, ais that He who knows us best,
also loves us best"
1.-THE gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John are each different, and yet they
are the same. Brotherhood means diverSi-
ty as well as unity.
I'VE don't appreciate the joy of forgive
ness, until we have ourselves forgiven
somebody"
1.-The crucial point in the life of every
man is when he is able to become recon-
ciled to q brother with whom he has had
difference"
before we get to the double quick of
the great movement which is to sweep us
into the Twentieth century, we must close
up our ranks, got shoulder to shoulder,
and present a solid front to Him who is
guiding u.s..
Unity of the Churcn
Bishop Hendrix was the next speaker.
He said that if he were asked to name
the leading layman in America, he would
say Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme bench. Judge Brewers definition
of what a Christian of the Twentieth CEN
fury would be, was one that would recog-
nize another Christian wherever they nap
pened to meet.
1.-The church is becoming more and more
unified" said Dr. Hendrix, land the great
church battles which we used to have,
some of us remember them forty and fifty
years ago, are becoming more and more IN
frequent AS the beautiful passage of
scripture which has just been read, says,
we have been children, peevish, envious,
and unseemly, but the Twentieth century
is looking for matured, self-mastered,
thinking Christians"
He spoke at length of the beautiful
friendship which existed between Jesus
and John the Baptist, and what splendid
tributes they paid to one another The
eleventh commandment which Jesus
gave to the world: Love one another as
I have loved you," is one of the greatest
of all the commandments, and it should be
the Christians watchword in the dawn of
the Twentieth century.
To Rejoice in Another's Greatness
Bishop Galloway was the next speaker.
"IN consider it a sign of true greatness"
Sdlu ne, Wnen we can TeJOlce over the
success of somebody else; when we fail to
rejoice that somebody else can succeed.
He spoke of the lack of this spirit which
was sometimes manifested even in the con-
ferences of the church.
81 consider the friendship that Jonathan
bore for David the greatest thing in his
life," continued the bishop. HE made q
moderate success of life, leading his coun-
trymen in battle once or twice, and such
things, but, the son of the king that he
was, he let nothing break off the friendship
and admiration he had for David and his
superior attainments,"
Bishop Galloway closed with plea for
unity in the coming battle at the begin
ming of tho Twentieth century.
Testimonials
Rev. Dr. Glenn, of owenton, testified as
to the good of the meeting. "And I feel
that 1t is good to be here" he said TN
fact, / believe am about ready to go home
and start a protracted meeting not send
for an evangelist, but talk to the people
myself"
Judge Wilson, of Leeds, an aged member
of the Methodist church. said that he had
been a member of the church in Jefferson
county for over sixty years, and he re-
joiced that he was about to see the OPEN
ing of the new century and the great work
that was being undertaken. His talk was
that of a true Christian man that had con-
secrateu MS Whole lie 10 MS MASTER, ana
it made profound impression on the as
semblage.
ut has been worth war" said Bishop
Hendrix, in closing the meeting, ito have
all sections of this great country brought
together again, and now I want you to
think what great religious war 1t will be
worth to bring the whole church into
closer unity and brotherhood"
