A Great Character of
the Community Retires
From Active Service
(From Marianna, Fla., Times)
There was no breaking down in
tears l nor heart-rending farewell as
sociated with Dr. M. H. Massey’s
final sermon to his people here last
Sunday morning, but a firm and im
pressive challenge for them to “go
forward for Christ.”
The service mnrked the close of
a period of years of service to the
F’irst Baptist Church here of more
than twelve years. During this
period the beloved pastor had not
only served his own denomination
but had been a great, helpful and
guiding character in the lives of
many others of the community, re
gardless of church affiliations.
On occasions he has spoken to us
of his disappointment at the progress
he believes himself to have made,
but like many other great personali
ties, he is probably too close to his
work to see its true value. There
is no guage to measure the -distance
his influence has traveled and in his
last hour of service here, Dr. Massey
did more to shape the lives of those
who heard him than he will ever
realize.
It is impossible to imagine that
his teaching will ever be forgotten.
Driven home by his daily practice of
the lessons he taught, they will form
an indelible impression on the minds
and lives of men, women, boys and
girls who know him.
Highly respected by fellow labor
ers in the ministry, Dr. Massey’s in
fluence reached over a wide area.
Other ministers will miss his counsel
but will long profit from what he
taught them of the Master’s work.
Dr. Massey is retiring, now, to a
much needed rest, however, his ser
vices will not end. He will continue
to write a song, a story, a cheering
message and lend his personality to
the encouragement of those around
him who will instinctively come to
him for spiritual and moral advice.
Marianna regrets his leaving but
in extending him a farewell there
is full realization that this city has
been made better by his being here.
