Charles Allen Said Two People He Loved Most ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
CHARLES ALLEN said two people he loved most across the years were Bishop and Mrs. Arthur J. Moore. After Mrs. Moore’s death the Bishop wrote the following letter:
"My dearly beloved Martha walked triumphantly into God’s house on Monday, August 17th. You can imagine how lonely the children and I feel.
"For more than fifty-eight years her unfaltering faith, her compassionate heart and wise judgments have been for me an unfailing source of inspiration and courage. She was a woman of rare gifts, unfailing in her fidelity to her Master, her family and to an innumerable company of friends, who stretch literally around the earth.
"We who walked close by her side can never cease to be grateful for her radiant singing soul and Christlike compassion.
"In these months of serious illness, her brave beauty and victorious faith were as clear as sunlight. In her final written word to those she loved best, she said, ’I neither fear death nor dread to die.’ In this earthly life she lived in God, now in that land where shadows never darken she lives with God. In life she held her own securely in her love. Now that she is away for a little while, we shall hold her forever in our undying affection and loving memory.
"We of the family will strive to walk with larger hope and braver step until we greet her in the morning of the fadeless day."
