A Man of God.
That it is a part of a man’s ordi
nary calling to be a Godly man
does not majke such a man less at
tractive to us. And the man wh.o
makes a success of the “practice
of the presence of God” draws us
to himself and to the One whose
he is, just as much when he is a
minister as when is a layman.
There are hundreds in Henry
County who, when they come to
the marriage altar, must have the
voice of Brother England to pro
nounce the words to join them ere
they feel that they two have be
come one; and they hope that
when they shall go to join the
Bridegroom of the church, Broth
er England again will speak the
solemn words which will speed
their souls in the sure quest be
yond the tomb.
For four years McDonough
knew the blessing of having this
man of God as one of us. Now
Hampton is enjoying the blessing.
Brother England’s daily life is a
sermon of the pervasivg, persuas
ive kind. Ar:d in the pulpit he is
equally powerful. With an excep
tional intellect on fire with the
gospel fervor and t h e gospel
grasp, his preaching makes
thoughtful and mindful of the
eternal things both the large
miqded and the simple minded,
and the indifferent-hearted as
well.
\Y e shall regret for the time
to come when Henry county must
lose him and his work. We feel
the county to be better for his
life in our midst.
Wherever he may go, we pray
that he may receive blessings as
bountifully as hundreds have re
ceived from his life.
