TWfi fit.lfiNf THBPNE. ELKIN. NOBTtf CAHOUNA
CELEBRATES 80TH
BIRTHDAY FRIDAY
Rev. C. F. Fields Preachw Sermon
In hog Cabin Where He Was
Born ftHghty Years Ago
Rev. C. F. Fields, noted Mission
ary Baptist minister, celebrated his
80th birthday Friday of last week
in a most unique preach
ing in the log cabin in which he was
born. Rev. Fields is widely known
and highly respected, having been
a minister for the past forty-six
years. Mr. Fields has been married
for the past fifty-seven years and
his wife is still living.
The service was held at the birth
place of Mr. Fields near this city,
on the farm where he, atill resides.
He stood in the door and repeated
the 23rd Fsalm and expressed per
fect confidence in the words:
"Though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death I will fear
no evil, for Thou are with me, Thy
rod and Thy staff, they comfort me."
His text was "Be a good Soldier
for Jesus Christ", also quoted from
memory. He spoke of the similarity
of being a soldier of Christ and a
soldier for your country and said
that the robes of righteousness
should be worn with as much pride
as the Rebels ever wore the gray or
the boys of the North the blue or
the boys of the late war wore the
khaki. His life has been an example
of his faith in God's promise to
those who walk circumspectly be
fore the world. Such faith and
trust has been rewarded by allowing
this man to live on borrowed time
for a decade and to dwell safely in
his native Blue Ridge mountains.
Relatives and friends of the -aged
minister brought lunch and a boun
tiful table was spread at the noon
hour. Sherman Bryant, of Traphlll
made a brief talk before the dinner
was served and Charlie Carter
voiced his appreciation for the privi
lege of being present for the de
lightful occasion. Music was fur
nished by the Gum Orchard Quartet
and the Cool Springs Singers.
