The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1921-03-24
A GREAT MAN PROMOTED

| W. Gunsaulus IN ChicagO, last Thurs
day morning.
DR.. Gunsaulus was one Of the rare
spirits Of his time, great preacher
at time when great preachers were
few and a Christian educator, who
not only laid great foundations, but
who touched with personal influence
thousands Of young hearts.
At the age Of nineteen he made the
decision TO choose as his life work
not the stage, where his great dra-
matte talent might have found ex-
preston, nor the paths of literature
which were attractive, but the work
Of making the truth powerful in the
hearts Of his fellowmen. His min
istry at once attracted attention. Az
ter occupying a number Of important
pulpits. he found his place in the
great city Of Chicago and has been
for many years its first citizen For
three decades almost every young
man or woman who came to that
great city had some inspiring word
from his lips, and his lectures and
sermons in other places were eagerly
sought and left lasting inspirations
and incentives in the hearts of a
country-wide audience.
II was his million Dollar Sermon
that Unexpectedly attracted Mr.. Arm
our so that the great capitalist Of
fered to further such educational
schemes as DR.. Gunsanlus might pro-
pose. This led to the founding of
Armour Institute, an educational es-
tabhshment with many departments,
with a great history already. Less
than two years ago Mr.. Armour ad-
ed twenty-five million dollars to his
previous gifts.
He had visited Berea repeatedly,
giving important aid to President
Frost and taking a special interest
in the Fireside Industries in Mrs.
Ernberg's Log House, where he loved
to be a guest. I'm his early minis
try he had sought the counsel Of our
DR.. R. G. Hutchins in some impor-
tant steps,.
Not Chicago alone but the entire
Country and the English speaking
world were mourners at his funeral.
His greatest gift, that Of kindling
the best in the hearts Of his hearers,
was emphasized by one quotation,
which we repeat:
"But on one mans soul il hath
broken,
A light that doth not depart;
And his look, or a word he hath
spoken,
Wrought flame in another mans
heart"
Whether his preaching or his ed
ucational work was of greater value,
we need not question; both were I'M
usual and particularly precious in
this generation. Untraced in ten
thousand ways, his influence will
move on and gems like the following
will be printed over and over and
LEARNED by heart" by countless men
and women, who perhaps never saw
his face.
"Guard me for yet another day.
For life is new with mornings ray;
And foes are strange, untrod the way;
Guard me through this an unknown
day.
Grid me for yet another day,
Though guarded I must fight and
pray:
Teach me to draw my sword or
stay:
o grid while guarding me today!
Guide me for yet another day;
Guarded and girded, yet / stray.
Find paths for me and I obey:
Guard, grid and guide me, one more
day.
Guard, grid, and guide me every day,
So when all things Of time delay,
In morn of heaven by grace, may
Enter the perfectness of day."
Inez: We had a splendid time last
summer. Several Of US girls took a
tramp through the mountains.
Ina: Did the tramp enjoy him
self, too?
