Centennial Address by lev. J. J.
Kennedy at the Celebration el
the Lord’s Sapper at Hnw lope
Church April 8. 1888.
My dear friends, I tbink thet
onr Presbytery end the visitors
present will agree with me when
1 say that the pastor, officers
and members of New Hope acted
wisely in appointing tbe cele
bration of the Centennial anni
versary of this church, and the
celebration of the Lord's
Supper on the same day aod
especially on the Sabbath.
To my mind there is a beau
tiful and harmonious connection
between the two. The affinity
between them is such that the
celebration of the one is exceed
ingly helpful to our minds snd
hearts in the celebration of the
other. When taken conjointly
they aerve as a potent factor, or
a kind of double inspiration to
onr appreciation and enjoyment
of this occasion.
There arc several names ap
plied to this holy ordinance, but
instead of commenting briefly
on all of these names let ut
direct and confine onr attention
more especially to one ot them.
Thij one I think deserves
special mention and considera
tion because of its fitness and
appropriateness, both to the
celebration of tbe Lord's Sapper
and the celebration of the Cen
tennial Anniversary, namely tbe
Eucharist, which name signifies
Thankfulness. One senpture
authority for this appellation
and which we will use- as our
text is,
Christ Jesus concerning you.”
The subject matter of this text
and the name Eucharist is
"Christian Gratitude'' which we
are reunited to manifest on this
occasion. Now let ns refresh
onr memories and hearts noon
tbe nature and duty of Chris
tian gratitude. We do not need
to go to the dictionary or to any
persons to learn what gratitude
ia for it is a principle which God
has implanted within us in onr
creation—Us seat is in tbe heart,
the central part of the aonl.
Hence we may aay that it is an
• innate and an affectionate
principle and when properly
cultivated, and when it ap
proximates maturity, we may
then say that gratitude ia au
affectionate response in words
and deeds for favors received.
Perhaps we may better under
stand the nature and duty of
gratitude by a reference to, and
comparison with. Ingratitude,
which la so prevalent In the
world, in the church and in tbe
home.
Ingratitude is the antithesis of
gratitude and hence we may say
that ingratitude is the lack or
absence of an affectionate re
sponse in words or deeds for
favors received and is foreign to
opr constitution. Then tbe ques
tion arises hare—what is the
cause of ingratitude? Wa would
answer this question by asking
another, via: What ia tbe cause
of so much ignorance in the
world, in tbe church and in the
home, or why ere there so many
illiterate people in our home
land? It le not as a general
rale for the waat of competent
minds and retentive memories
por for tbe want of secular and
religious literature, nor for the
want of secular and religious
schools and teachers, nor for tbe
want of churches and ministers,
nor for tbe want of BaancUl
means,nor for the want of time,
for there la ample time ia child
liood *n4 youth to icanirt a
Sod ordinary trlucation. But
* true anewer Is, because this
class of persons neglect* or
rathe* reject* »»>« rduc.tloual
opportunities and auxiliaries
--— ii — =r
afforded them, and suffer their
minds and memories to remain
in a kind of dormant stnte;
hence the fault of ignorance lies
at their own door. In like man
ner we may say that ingratitude
is not because we are destitute
of the feeling of thankfulness,
nor is it because we have not
opportunities to cultivate the
principle of gratitude within us,
but it is because we neglect to
improve those opportunities and
to cultivate this iunate princi
ple, and hence the fault lie* at
the door of the ungrateful them
selves.
Ingratitude is exceedingly un
popular, the heathen in ancient
times despised it. they said
"Call a man ungrateful and you
call him every thing that is
vile.” Ingratitude has been
likened to the sea which is con
tinually turning the sweet in
fluences of the clouds into brine.
It is also likened to the grave,
which is always receiving and
and never restoring. In the
famoos miracle of Christ cleans
ing the Ten Lepers in answer to
their earnest petition, one of
them a.Samaritan, when healed,
immediately fell down and ex
pressed and manifested his grat
itude to Jeans, bat the other
nine immediately returned to
their homes without any expres
sion or manifestation of grat
itude. Hence we may say that
in their conduct we have a pict
ure lesson of bise and criminal
ingratitude, and their Ingrat
itude ao grieved tlft tender feel
ings of Jesus that he said to the
Samaritan: "There were ten
cleansed, where arc the nine?”
In short we mav aay that ingrat
itude is one of the most unreas
onable, unpopular, unchristian,
detestable and meanest qualities
{m «MVAna>a aUamaSa._t III.
Bat on the other hand Christ
ian gratitude is ooe of the most
commendable, popular, beauti
ful, fascinating and lovely qual
ities that can adorn anyone’s
character and life. Christian
gratitude is one of the brightest
jewels in the rich clnster of
Christian graces and is so fre
ancntly and beautifully exempli
fied to os in scripture. For in
stance, Job, wheo under the
dark shadow of sudden and sore
bereavement, fell down and wor
shipped God, saying, "The Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken
away, blessed be the name of
the Lord.” Also when lloacs
and the Israelites were delivered
from bondage and from a watery
grave, he composed and they
sang at the Red Sea, a Euchar
istic song as recorded in the 13th
chapter of Exodus, which song
will be perpetuated until the end
of time.
Also in so many of the sacred
songs of David is exemplified,
Christian gratitude. Hastening
on down this line to the New
Testament, Paul mentions in 36
placet the duty and beauty of
Christian gratitude. Whilst he
and Silas were in prison they
not only prayed, but worshipped
Ood with Eucharistic songs.
Bat fha mowning manifesta
tion of Christian g.stitade was
the night In which this boly
ordinance was instituted. When
J*»oi was nuder the dark
shadow of the betrayal ecene,
and the the still darker shadow
of the crucifixion scene he not
only ptayed, but he gave thanks
to God, and in closing the In
stitution of Ibis ordinance be
fore they went out to the Mt. of
Olives, ba and bis disciples
sang a eucharistic soug, that
teaching «a by bis example
when we celebrate this ordi
nance that we ought to cherish
aud manifest intense gratitude
end love to triune God.
In closing, I want to My that
I cannot imagine a better time,
a better opportunity, and a more
atgast demand for the cultiva
tion and manifestation of Chris
tian gratitude than ij afforded
ns on this occasion. For in
this two*fold celebration we have
a complete, perfect and consoli
dated picture of the infinite
goodness, love, mercy, and
grace of the triune God.
One lesson-song suggested
by Lhis sacred sceue is in lan
guage like this:
lo rede*u ti«AM not *vrrt>
lift well brlovcd Hon:
lo nvr ha. lUitmrd i« bear
of all iu Uo*.
Another familiar song suggested
by this scene is,
Yes, our celebration of this
ordinance is a likeness of tbc
employment and enjoyment of
the saints above. But oh I their
enjoyment above is so much
better and sweeter than we
have, or can have here below.
For instance, we in Chriat
here with the eye oi faith und
our vision is often so beclouded
witb tbe things of sense and
time that we can only see him,
os it were, through a glass
darkly' and cannot realize hit
•'■wwkMvs ut. uiiuij' an wc
often desire iu the person of the
Holy Spirit. Whilst partaking
of the emblems of his broken
body and shed blood, we be
hold Him as a man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief.
We see Him upon the cross
bleeding, suffering, groaning
and crucified, and this vision is
enough to fill our hearts with
sadness, and our eyes with tears.
But above, in the heavenly
home, their vision of Christ is
not obscured, but is clear,
bright and strong, and they see
Him face to face, apon the great
white throne with a crown of
glory on His bend and they
realize his presence as sensibly
as they desire. How much bet
ter then, is their eujoytsent
than wc can have here below.
Again, in onr communion ]
with Christ tnd with one another
here below, our spiritual hap
piness is so often marred with
unholy, evil sinful thoughts and
feelings, and with sin and
satan without, that we have to
pray and repent to overcome
sin and Satan. But above with
the glorified saints their souls
*r« perfectly pure and holy, and
nothing can mar their happi
ness.
The last, but not the least
feature iu this twofold scene is
home gathering and reunion of
dear old friends, former mem
bers and pastors together with
the present pastor of New Hope
church. Onr reunion is honored
with the presence and influence
of onr Presbytery and of so
many visitors. I must confess
that I cannot employ language
adequate to describe onr social
and spiritual pleasure on this
occasion.
But alas; our pleasure and
happiness in this line is sadly
marred by the fset that within
one.hour there will be a breach
of tbia reunion, and the parting
word good-bye to each other,
with a realizing sense that we
never will meet here again un
der similar circumstances.
But up yonder in our father’s
house and in the heavenly man
sions, some sweet day there will
he a "home gathering and re
nnlou* of the children of God.
and a reunion of families,
husburds and wives, parents
and children, pastors, and peo
ple and there will never be
separation with the parting
song "Ood be with yon till we
meet again.* Bat our reunion
eternal
itself and me thinks that w« will
softly sing as a chorus to those
heavenly songs "Thanks be onto
Ood that giveth ns the victory
thro’ onr Lord Jeans Christ •
Amen.__

Andrew Carnegie, one of th
world’s greatest manufacturers
says to the South:
"You have the greatest mooop
o'.y o i earth, iu the grossing o
cotton, and von have the work
at vour feet."
There la an estimate wort!
considering.
It ia a statement, the trnth o
which see to whom it ia taadi
only half realise. We have tht
only climate and soil on tin
round earth capable of prodoc
iog in auv marketable qualitj
and quantity the greatest com
mereial commodity in whirl
mankind deals. This we all
know full well, but srhst asc svs
doing sritb it that proves out
knowledge of it?
Wt raise cotton, pick it, gin
it. bale h, and then let it go fot
what the outside purchaser want!
to give ua for it. All the time,
toil and trouble incident to bring
iog the staple to a marketable
shape ia ours; tba outside world
moat have it from ns; sre let il
go at whatever figure they offer.
Such a situation G nothin* short
of a reflection upon tba Soutb’i
business ability. Men like
Andrfw Parnpin# tiara
amongst us and repeat time
after time that we have the
"greatest monopoly on earth in
the growing ci cotton," bnt each
succeeding season finds tb<
South marketing the crop just
as though it grew on every soil
and was common to every nation
under the ran.
As Mr. Carnegie intimated,
though, there it a glean of hope
ahead for the South. He names
one of the conditions here that
promises to evolve tor the South
a full measure of reward from
the natural monopoly which she
enjoys.
"Even in my day you have be
come a great manufacturing cen
ter," he aaya, "and tbit industry
IS leaping ahead with tremendous
bounds.'’
The South is beginning to
manufacture her own products
in the rougher and less costly
form, aod therein lies the hops
that some day aha will be abh
financially to manufacture into
tic finer materiel of which the
cotton staph is capable, and
thereby come into her full re
ward. At present the mills of
the North, and of England,
France, Gtrmauy, Japan and
other oationa reap the profits
from the manufacturing of the
Suer grides of cotton goods—
profits which in comparison to
those the South receives from
the raw material and the rougher
manufactures are simply enor
mous.
The first question to which the
cotton-growingstates must apply
themselves, according to the best
authorities, is that of marketing
the crop. The several states have
learned the act ot growing cotton.
That is the monopoly of which
Mr. Carnegie speaks, because no
other nation and no other section
of this nstion knows this art or
bss the natural environment even
if they should acquire the knowl
edge. Now these states must
learn the business of marketing
the crop so that a profit may be
gained commensurate with the
* s_lt > m. ataa _ t.
t BMW HBUUW UiWb UltJ
attendant upon the growing, to*
gather with the comparative
rarity of the staple.
Until this lesson is well*
grounded; until the aims of
such organizations aa the Sooth*
am Cotton Association sternal*
izel, the South cannot hope to
enter upon the full measure oi
her reward in connection with
her "monopoly." In the first
place, she is not financially able
to. develop her manufacturing
plants to their full capacity ol
turning out the finer products oi
cotton goods. Though aix hun
dred millions of dollars ara poured
tnto the South annually for her
cotton, still it la not enough to
enable the cotton producers to
become cotton manufacturers ol
the higher type; that to, of tha
typ2 mjoya the greater
profits from tha industry. Most
of that enormous sum goes righl
back to the source whence il
comes, and mainly for the pur
Kr ol bringing back to tbt
'.h*5? ®*wb*d product man
utactured from her own raw ms
tmil, •-;>
Should the cotton states evei
reach the point whera the cottar
crop could be marketed la i
basinets-like meaner, then wi
may hope to see the manufsc
turiag enterprises ad vase* ii
even mater degree than Mr
Carnegie dMgf>bes aa "kapiui
ahead with tremendous bounds.'
