Some years ago, the Rev. George
Z. Haddock was engaged as pastor
OF the Methodist church in Sioux
City, Iowa. One evening as he left
the horse which he had hired at a
livery barn and started across the
street, having been out that night in
the interest of temperance and sobri-
ETY., which was his right and his duty
as = public servant in the community.
ne WAS shot by the hand of an assas-
SIN and his lneless body rolled into
the gutter of the street. But in
his death, DR.. Haddock did infinitely
more for the cause of temperance in
Iowa Ind In the country than he did
IN al his life He went to his Calvary
IN the life Of devoted service to his
fellowman, and in so doing rendered
. most valuable service to the cause
which has now triumphed.
1t Is said that after Mr.. Wilber-
force had made one of his maiden
speeches In Parliament that one Of
the older men took him aside and
said to him, well, young man, you
espire to be = reformer do you :"
And then pointing to q picture OF the
Christ on. Calvary said, "Younx man
that is the end Of reformers." An.
no, men find their largest life values
in such service a. Mr.. Wilberforea
rendered in his day.
Mr. Lincoln stands out in history
~ the supreme servant and benfactor
OF our country, even though in the
midst of that service he found his |
Calvary.
( The world is full Of men and women
Of faithful and unselfish service, per-
sons who give until themse4ISs are
deprived of many of the common COM
forts of life, not to say Injuries.
Mothers and fathers who literally
wear themselves out in service to chill
tren and the community, and that is
u
,ent place in which to live.
May be permitted to call each. of
you to life of devoted service to
Tours fellows and to your Master and
ord Why? Because Of this fact: /,
Ialvary, with its supreme service and
IS cross, is not final All, no, the
Master of Calvary still lives. He re-
uses to come down from the cross. |
And later the tomb in which he was
'uried WAS found TO be empty with
Ingels announcing his absence, and
lter he ascends to the right hand of
he Father, and literally fulf.ls his I
lromise to the world in which he said. Z
Let not your hearts be troubled nei- !
her Let them be afraid, 20 to pre- /,
are place for you, that where am !,
here We may be also" This promise
fer those who devote their lives to I
tim IN loving service to Himself and '
iankind. May our lives find their
lghest values in thus serving Him.
md then, to quote from Owen Meri-
eth, it may be true of US also. when s
e sings: j
"No stream from its source flows '
eaward, however so lonely its course, /
ut that some land is gladdened. No
tar ever rose and set without influ- :
nee somewhere. Who knows what &
nth needs from earth's lowest crea- 5

nrpose and strong. in its strife, and );
! life not be made purer and strong u
!. thereby" e
