David Worth Dennis was rare
embodiment of the Christian graz
He had the faith of little child. he
had unquestioned faith in men ana
their motive; in the cosmos ana us
orderliness; in God anu His heaven.
There was plenty of evidence TO him
of the things that are not seen. HIS
faith was more secure than Gibraltar.
His anchorage went to the bottom OF
life's sea.
= His personality was radiant with
hope. If there was but one optimist
in the world, that optimist was he.
He caught Gods sunshine always and
reflected it back to his fellow men.
With him the greatest of these was
love- He loved everything and every
body, great and small. He was a
lover of the true, the beautiful and
the good The windows of his soul
opened in every direction. His love
constrained him to go a second mile
to turn the other cheek. If there had
been one who had despitefully used
him, he would have prayed for him
