preached a very fine sermon. His sub
Jet was the Helpful Life and
without the least bit of scOlding be
made some verv strong and striking
points against those selfish drOnes whom
the song charaeterizes as humanity s
blank. humanity's blots. - An inactive
life was death to the christian life, he
said. IL was of small moment how a
man felt. or what people thought; the
7 question was lis your life bearing
fruit - if not your christian life is
dying IL the circulation in ones arm
is stopped. the hand withers and dies.
If the circulation in the branch of a
tree is stopped. the limb withers and
dies. Stagnant water becomes foul.
So il is with life. The life that helps
nobody, gives out nothing to the
world. bears no fruit, is decayed and
dying, or dead. Ii was a strong SER
mon. well delivered strong in many
points; not least of which is the fact
that behind the preacher was a life
consistent with his words. A long,
useful, remarkably helpful life. A life
that has touched more lives for good.
perhaps, than any other life in Ten
nessee. A life full of earnestness and
zeal. A learned. holy. consecrated
