Today's Sermon: The Day the Chains Were Broken
Pastor Tim Trudeau

“A missionary friend who was present added: As we sang hymns during the service the Muslim gravediggers, diggers, standing a little way back, looked astonished, for it was all in such sharp contrast with the hideous and meaningless less wailing which takes place at a Muslim funeral. Still greater was their astonishment as they watched the little company of nativeChristians weeping over the grave of a foreigner-one they had learned to love as a brother. Never shall I forget the feeling that came to us with our closing hymn: "Sing it softly through the gloom, While the heart for mercy craves; Sing in triumph o'er the tomb-Jesus Jesus saves, Jesus saves!" Our very souls were lifted out of their mourning into a glad and glorious triumph, and we could indeed say: "0 death, where is thy sting; 0 grave, where is thy victory?"

“And Borden was earnest. No one could say of him that he trifled with the thing men are trifling with all around, the great talent of life. He won the victory over his environment. By some the victory has to be won over poverty; by others over heredity, or over shame and temptation; but Borden won the victory over an environment of wealth. He felt that life consisted not in "the abundance of things a man possesseth," but in the abundance dance of things which possess the man.”
