Short Or Long Sarmons

Al q recent meeting OF the Grand
Rapids Pastors Union among other
things under discussion was the 1ues-
ton of the length Of sermons.
Josh Billings said that man who
couldn't strike oil i'm thirty minutes, az
preacher, must have very poor augur
or be boring in very hard place" de-
clared one pastor, Rev. J. w. Sheehan
stated in paper that an evil OF the
day was the clamor for short sermons.
"The sermon, he affirmed, sis crowded
i'm between the long opening service and
the vOciferous Sunday school. The Sun
day school will soon replace the pulpit
A. teaching agency. The general con-
ference ought TO remove the time limit
on sermons and restore the limit on
pastorates. There is too much rose
water religion, not enough deep spir.
tuality."i
mo man can preach the gospel
thoughtfully and intelllgently in
twenty minutes sermons, declared DIR.
John Graham.
DR.. Lewis and others, however argued
that long sermons simply drove people
TO sleep or away from church. They
suggested that much truth could b<
told in short time, If the preacher
cart was on fire with gospel zeal.

II was sixty years ago;
We went to school together;
His name is Albert Snow.
We went to the Brink schoolhouse
And worked with all our might;
We studied some arithmetic
And learned to read and write.
When he grew to be youth
He always had the cash.
He drove horse and buggy
And cut some quite dash.
At public balls and dances
He was heavy on the swing;
Could dapce the old Virginia reel
And cut the pigeon wing.
For partners he did never lack
When he went on to dance,
For any girl would dance with him
If she could get the chance.
The girls all took shine to him,
You just can bet your life.
But not a girl among the bunch
Did he want for wife.
He said. "I'll go to York state.
They tell me girls out there
Are always very pleasant,
Most beautiful and fair"
And when he went to York state.
He nearly ran race,
And there he met q lovely girl
Her name was Hannah Chase.

The girl want through life.
III not go back to Michigan
Till she goes as my wife.
He spoke to her about it.
And, Of course. she gave consent.
Then right off to be married
The loving couple went.
On the morrow she packed up
And bade her friends goodbye.
Then started off to Michigan
Her fortune for to try.
And when she got to Michigan
No person did she know.
She trusted to her husband,
Our old friend, Albert Snow.
She had not been within this town
But weeks just three or four
Till she had friends in plenty
She could count them by the score.
Then Hannah she was happy
AS she travelled on through life,
And Albert was contented
With his fond and loving wife.
OF course they had their ups and
downs,
Their sorrows and their joys.
They have raised two lovely daugh-
tiers
Asd couple Of good boys.
You see they've been here quite
awhile.
Their hair is getting gray;
The fact is they've been married
Just fifty years today.
This is their golden wedding
And we have all met here today
Just to help them celebrate
And drive dull care away.
So let US do the best we can
To have jolly time.
And cheer our host and hostess
And keep them right In line.
He's lived upon the same old farm
For nearly all his life.
And she's lived here most all the time
Since she became his wife.
They have fought the battle together,
They have struggled side by side.
And to comfort one another
And TO do It best have tried.
And now they are too old to work,
With silver In their hair.
Their children dear will see to them
With kind and loving care.
And ~ they travel down life's tide
Let's hope they'll find It clear
And live In peace and plenty
For many happy year.
