REV. CLARKE OF
WINDER ADDRESSES
JEFFERSON ROTARY
A minister of the Gospel who de
livered an inspiring talk at Rotary,
as well as profound sermons in the
pulpit, is Rev. W. H. Clarke, pastor
of the Winder Methodist Church.
At the meeting of Jefferson Rotary
Tuesday he was presented by the
chairman of the program commit
tee, George Westmoreland, who
said, “We drafted him. Good speak
ers are hard to get. He is one of the
best.”
Rev. Clarke told of his first visit
in Jefferson in the horse and buggy
days to get a preacher who was
here at that time to aid him in buy
ing a horse suitable for an itinerant
minister. That preacher was Rev. H.
F. Branham who was noted for his
“horse sense.” He bought one which
proved to be unsuited for this use.
He swapped and the second horse
was afflicted with “bellows.” “It
shows,” said he, “that those who are
reputed to have the best of judge
ment make errors.”
He told of the solemn and r.ad
time through which the world has
been passing during the last tew
days because of the death of Presi
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt! The
world has been in mourning ,-ince
that sad event. Even radios can
celled all commercial programs and
devoted the raidos to tribute, music,
song, praise and prayer.' His death
shows how Democracy, however,
works. In less than three hour’s af
ter his passing, the oath of office
was administered to Vice President
Truman who became President.
Just before death, President Roose
velt declared that we are now
world citizens. To be a good woj id
citizen, said Rev. Clarke, one must
make the best citizen of which he is
capable at home—the place where
he lives. ,
He said that is is an old principle
of Democracy for separation of
church and state. However, for De
mocracy |jo live it must be imbued
with the Christian spirit. Take jut
of Democracy justice, honesty, truth, |
love and God, and it would soon
perish.
Clifford T. Storey, the president,
was at his place with gavel in hand.
Mrs. Lanis Ethridge was at ihe |
piano. Some members of Jefferson
Rotary will go to Toccoa Thursday !
evening, the 19th, to the granting of
a charter to anew lodge in that
city.
Five members were absent.
