“Blessings on You!”
Many men have used the above
words, and many have used them
sincerely. But never have they
seemed to us so impressive, noi
so to bring the presence of the
Comforter m the person upon
whom they were pronounced, as
when we have hear ! them occa
sionally spoken from the pulpit by
the man of God who for four
years has served one o f our
churches.
By the law of Methodism, which
falls inexorably upon all, McDon
ough Circuit and our town must
soon part with the Rev. J. E. Eng
land; for the November Confer
ence must send him to other harv
est fields, the four years which a
minister may spend in one charge
expiring at that time.
His departure will be regretted
by our people of every denomina
tion and of every class, for he has
entered into the very hearts of us
all and all have learned to love
and honor him.
This dew-at mn possesses i
rare personality indeed. Power
ful in the pulpit, in daily life he
lias been no less powerful, and
the latter has been without noise.
So quiet and unassu ni ig, has
been his daily walk, th it its influ
ence demonstates the power cl
the silent forces.
It is not often that such stronp
convictions as thos • possessing
and controlling him and known ol
all men actuate a life so gentle
and quiet.
Those words so f nely p nned
Ly Mirabean Lamar of a Texas
“Soldier of the Cross” fitly de
scribe this soldier in the army of
the Prince of Peace:
‘•I go, I go to break the chains
That bind the erring mind,
And give the freedom that I feel,
To all of human kind;
But oh, I wear no burnished steel,
And seek no gory field;
My weapon is the Won! of God,
His promise Is my shield.”
Could we bring down upon him
the very presence of the Spirit
himself as Brother England often
has seemed to do in speaking of
others departing from our midst,
we would seek for him to the
utmost the fullness of alb the
meaning that lies in the words:
“Blessings on you Brother Eng
land.” Wherever you go, our
love and prayers go with you!
