E.m GODDARD
Sermon Delivered, Sunday Morning
At Methodist .Church by the
: Pastor, Rev. O. L. Kelley.
Many organizations, in addition, to
their regular membership, carry a
roll of honorary members, from
whose names they expect to gain
dignity and standing in the com
munity. I have seen sometimes the
weight of the honorary roll become
a • burden to the active membership.
I wonder how often you have seen
the-honorary membership of tne
church out-number the active mem
bership. Another word . might be
substituted for honorary. Passive
is the antonym of active. Then we
may use the expression “Active ana
passive” members. An active mem
ber of the church is one who takes
A passive' member is one. ^jho has
lo be carried. You see •two cirs com
ing. up the road; one is chugging
along with life and animation; and
the other has a rope or chain to its
front end, and is being carried in.
One is an active car, the other is a
passive car. This is a picture of the
church. It always has, and must
have, its active and passive mem-
ship. There are always a number'of
people in the church who are its
wards, its responsibility. They are
its youth its undeveloped member
ship. Every normal, progressive
•church should have them; but we
must remember at the same time
that all growth reaches maturity,
and that the grown person who
hangs on to the social order to be
carried becomes either a criminal or
an imbecile, which make them fit
subjects for the the chain-gang, the
assylum or the poor-house. This
class in the church we call our hon
orary or passive members, and the
number is large. They are often
times well beloved and likable. They
are sometimes members of the
church, and often not members, hut
they go to church -very often, and
say by so doing, “Here I am, I am
giving you a chance to work me up.
I feel- like I am being awfully good
to present myself a passive and un
resisting subject for your efforts.
Hitch up to me and puli' me iff.”
Now it is a pleasure to your neigh
bor to hitch his mules or his ear to
your disabled car and pull it into
the shop; but it is asking a good
deal to ask him to • pull you all
around the country,. You and I both
have seen members^ hauled around
by the church for forty years. Lets
take a picture of an automobile
coming up the road with about four
crippled cars strung on behind it; it
is running in low gear and is just
creeping. You ask the man in the
front car what is the matter with
his engine? Why don’t he make bet
ter time? and his reply is that he
is doing well to be going at all with
all these dead engines behind him.
That is a picture of the cnurch . to
day. It has many fine members, well
equipped, active, faithful and full of
life and energy; but he is only one
among many, and has a half dozen
hitched on behind, lifeless and help
less, to be carried. The church Is
running in low gear the chariot
wheels are mired ecause it takes all
the'energy of the church trying To
carry its own empties. Now the
question before us is, are you anac-
tive or passive member of . the
church or community?Are you. help
ing to carry the load? or are you
hanging on behind to ride? Pray ye
the Lord’of the harvest tHat He will
send laborers into His harvest. The
harvest is plenteous but the labor
er are few. I want to bpgin a meet
ing here in aout two weeks, and 1
want the burden of our prayers to
be from ndw till then and on thru
the meeting, that the Lord of the
each of us looks about. us, we see
the people going astray. How does
it effect us? Does' it,move our sym
pathies? Do we believe in’the power
of the Gospel to heal this trouble?
Jesus did, do you? He said the only
lamp place in the great , scheme of
redemption was the lack of laborers.
It is the same today. There arc
many members of the church. There
are many well-wishers; but there are
so few laborers. So the revival we.
jieew today is to enlist a working
force. Pray ye the Lord of the har
vest that he will send laborers into
the harvest. No other kind of a re
vival will be worth much, and that
kind will be sufficient; for a work
ing church is one that has a con
tinual revival.
But we hear some saying, “What
must J do?” The first and most im
portant thing for each one to do is
to become a regular attendant. You
will never find your place to work
until you are present to help plan
the work, and nobody will be able to
fit you to a job while you, are ab
end try will find some needed place
of service. But the great emphasies
is to be put on the neec of workers
instead -of drones. The need of ac
tives instead of passives and hon
orary members, and that, however
good our intentions, we are hin-
derers and dead weights until ^ we
take our place as active members,
er we need to pray is that the Lord
of the havest will send forth labor
ers into his harvest. And when he
calls, let each of us answer: “Here
am I, send me.”
sociation feels that it is smali
enough to enable every child in the
South-to have a part in the memo
rial. It also makes it possible for all
families to enroll the names of their
beloved Confederate kinsmen wheth
er or not they feel that they can
pay the adult Founders roll mem
berships of one htousand dollars.
For each one dollar contributed, a
child can enroll any Confederate
Soldier that he wishes to remember
—his grandfather, great grandfath

But let us look for a moment into

tributes his share to the memorial,
it will mean, not only tnat the chil

The Association hopes that Mem
orial Day of this year wlil see the
greatest demonstration of a people’s
loye for "its dead that the South ifas
ever known and that the children,
through their contributions to me
Founders Roll, will have = notable
part in establishing the records oT
the day. -
Years ago, when the mothers of
the present generation were chil
dren, they met each year in memory
of the. dead. W^th their own hands
they gathered the blossoms^, from
their gardens, from the Yields and
woods, and brought them where the
women of the South gathered to
weave garlands. As childish; fingers
bound those blossoms into fragrant
circles of remembrance, their hearts
.stirred and leaped with a strange
pride while tears fellupon their eag
er little hands among the flowers.
From older lips, they learned the
story of the sixties as they sat amid
st memorial blossoms and next day
as they marched amcing the serried
ranks of the Confederate dead to
lay their garlands __dtfwn, they trod
not by the dust, ofvgraves TMt by the
tombs of ' Glory.
The children of today no. longer
meet to weave memorial wreaths.
though blossoms are laid each year
upon the graves of the Confederacy.
They have lost something of the
heritage that other years have given
to the children of the South hut now,
i because of the Stone Mountain
Memorial, the South is being quick
ened again to love, to pride, to tears
by the memories of those heroic
dhys. The children'again are drawn
into the circle of past years by the
Children’s Founders Roll and in
their hearts is springing the iittie
flame of pride that warmed the tears
of the generations between them
and the waf.
Let this Memorial Day see' tire
completion of the Children’s Foun
ders Roll as a great garland of love
for the Confederate dead. May every
child in the South have his and Her
share in the..-weaving of Memory’s
wreat so that Vhen the great hook
at the mountain stands opend lor
the world to see, not a name shall
be missing from that Roll of Fame.
Application blanks will be furnish
