you would see what is the secret whereby
our hearts may be wrapped in peace. 1t
was the perfect submission of his will to
God, utterly childllke trust on which his
whole being rested. 1t was nothing tran
STORY and nothing on earth or In hell
could shake the central peace on which
he was built.
Surrounded by Hate
Human hatred could surround and did
lead him to anguish and death, but 1t
could not disturb the steady calm. There
have hoated down through the ages echoes
of Thanksgiving ard rejoicing. The Sc
cret of the power of the Christians over
the pagans of Rome and Greece was the
unearthly joy of those whose lives they
first made miserable and then snuffed out.
They read the words of deathless peace.
Ours 1t is to take from those In the past.
Long centuries have followed, and the
secret of the Lord is with them.
"Those who have put their trust In him
have found that he never fails. Troubles
have come, but they count themselves
happy as they did in the past centuries.
Are there not those here, souls that
know and have proved the only secret OF
happy life? There have been manifold
human burdens and your lives have been
darkened, but what mattered 1t SO long as
ly when all else becomes desolate.
"Let the peace of God rule In your
hearts, which is the richest blessing and
without which you are poor, though you
be the sole monarch of the world,
'This is the peace I have tried to leave
with you with the grace of God, ana TOW
that am forced to resign the pastoral
charge of All Saints on account or en-
croaching physical disability, I leave this
IIa1d ha
world can never give or take away.
Asks Peace
'May God give and teach trust and hap
piness. A heart at peace with God is at
peace with the world. pray God to
give you his richest blessings.
Following the sermon by DR.. Trew, Bish-
on Johnson made a short address. He
said:
yesterday was the anniversary of the
entrance into the ministry of our friend
who lays down the work today. HOW full
of work those forty years have been; OF
self-sacrifce, real disinterestedness. We
all rejoice over those years filled with
honors. 1t Is a great thing for man
who has taken the most distinguished
places In the gift Of his brethren. Wher-
ever I turn find evidences OF respect anu
| love for him.
"What splendid record 1t Is! And at
the end of forty years, without single
blot or stain rejoice in his ministry and
in his friendship
"In his young manhood our friend
looked forward to great expectations with
every reason of fulfillment. He came
here with the prophecy of the doctors that
he had but few months left, prophecy
| that II would be almost useless to make
the Journey. And this after long illness.
| But he came. and his good and true wife
| faced life with him, and these years tney
have won the love and respect OF all.
'This is almost commencement and
not the end 1t is but the beginning OF
perhaps a larger usefulness. He has been
gathering up experience which snail De
valuable to the councils.
"Mv thought this mornig is one OF bless
| ing to the rector and parishioners That
| this NAV also be the commencement Of
larger things for All Saints, as well as for
1.-the retiring rector.
"May the peace of God, which surpass-
| eth all understanding, bring peace to your
heart and mine"
