ABLE SERMON
Preached Sunday by Rev.
John Heron.
"Should the Old Minister be Shot" F"
Was the Snbiect. 4 ~

"Should the Old Minister BE Shot?'
was the subject of an article written by
DR.. John Watson and published in the
Ladies' Home Journal.
Rev. John Heron, pastor of the Cen
trail Presbyterian church, preached a
, SERMON on the above. mentioned sub
ject Sunday morning. Inasmuch as
the annual offering for the Board of
Ministerial Relief was collected among
Presbyterian churches Sunday, the
subject seemed peculiarly appropriate.
''Why should he be shotT' asked Mr..
Heron. "Thc subject sounds brutal.
Think of disposing of ministers who
have survived their usefulness, but
whose lives were blameless, and whose
records for having done good remained
as monuments to their memories! |
venerate old ministers; and am ac-
Quainted with many such Men of God
whose work continues as a blessing to
mankind. There are many instances
where the greatest good has been done
by 'old minister's Henry Ward Beech
er- was 'old;' and John Hall was old.
Their usefulness as well as that of
many others, did not cease when old
age crept upon them. Their faculties
did nOtlweaken. ysE&a
''Why should the old minister be
ehot?l WHY sliould a life OF usefulness
and noble self sacrifice to duty be
rewarded with death?" were ques-
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1900-03-19

tons asked frequently Ivy the pastor,
whose eloquent words Of reason show
ed with force the pathos in the picture.
An example in biblical history, show
ing where long and faithful life was
honored and reward bestowed in old
age, was used by Mr.. Heron as an IL
lustration. 1t referred to the honor
extended Barzillai, the Gileadlte, by
King David. Barzillai, although so
years of age, had done some good SER
vice for the King, and the latter was
anxious to rewm'd him with position.
The aged man requested that instead
of his receiving the honor, it be be-
slowed upon his son. Chimhan, and
it was as he desired Chimham was
given magnificent possessions.
Rev. Mr.. Herron's tribute to the 'old
minister was enjoyed by all present,
the handling of the unique subject be-
ing forceful, yet delicate in tone.
