EXTRACTS FROM BISIIOl' KEY'S SERMON
IN VELASCO
Seaport Methodist.
A woman without gratitude in
her heart and love for Christ is a
monster.
The coming of Christ lifted wo-
man uj) from a beast of burden and
crowned her a queen, made her
man's companion, comfort and joy.
Of all beings whose love should be
intense for Christ, woman should
be.
All Methodists who have come
to Velasco to make it their future
home should unite with Texas
Methodism without regard to po-
litical predilection. The door of
Texas Methodism is alike; open to
the Republican and the Democrat.
In Florida I preached to a congre-
gation where I found live different
Methodisms had united with Flo-
rida Methodism, making one strong
body. Let it be so here. You are
welcomed to places among us. If
you are going to live among us,
leave your prejudices behind you.
To the above, the editor said, and
says, Amen.
Christ had his personal friends.
Every man ought to have. One of
these men who loves everybody
alike; love nobody at all.
