going to do? The disciples dedi
cated their lives, what have we J
done in gratitude for our heritage:
of eternal life?
Mrs. Loyd gave a sketch of the
life of Bishop Lambouth, who was
called a “birthright missionary.”
His parents and grandparents
were missionaries, therefore, he
felt the influence of this in early
years. He had trouble with his
eyes so he came back to Ameri
ca from China, where his par
ents were stationed. He received ]
his education while here. Going to
China he practiced medicine and
preached, first in China, Japan,
Siberia, then in Africa. He was
truly a pioneer laying the founda
tion of the church in Oriental
countries.
Mrs. Branham gave a talk on
his personal characteristics. She
said “Dr, Lambouth was a states
man in the Kingdom of God.” He ■
was a doctor, preacher and organ-j
izer. The essential unity of all
Christian work grew out of his
efforts. He was a pioneer in med
ical work. Science was his favor
its field, medicine his specialty.
From boyhood he was convinced
that his life belonged to Christ.
He was the most Christ-like man
the world ever knew. His motto
was “What ought to be done can
be done.”
The program closed with prayer
by Mrs. Hicks.
Refreshments were served by
Mrs. Loyd, Mrs. Hicks, Miss Mol
ly Wilson and Miss Caroline Wat
son.
