RecalU Joke Of
Over Fifty Years
Rockingham Post-Dispatch.
One morning a little over 50 years
ago, while a freshman at Hampden
Sidney college, in Virginia, Rev. W.
R. Coppcdge played a little joke on
hi Greek professor; and the inci
dent had long since passed from his
mind. But the professor had not for
gotten it.
It seem- that on the occasion in
.question the Green professor. Mr. Ad
di.on Hogue, was late in coming to
the class-room; and this young fresh
man proceeded to hang the professor’s
chair to the nail on which always
hung his hat: and on the chair was
pinned a paper with this inscription.
“The Greek Chair Is Suspended.”
Mr. Coppedge two weeks ago ob
served the 50th anniversary of his
active ministry. Mr. Hogue is still
living, and hearing of the recent an
niversary ervice at Marks Creek
church. Mr. Hogue was reminded of
the joke played on him long ago by
.*ir Loppeuge, and so wrote him the
followin'; letter:
“2071 Park Road.
“Washington, I). C.
“Monday, May .5, 1924.
“Rev. W. It. Coppedgo,
“Rockingham, N. C.
!“Mv Dear Brother in Christ:
“Fifty years in the ministry! I
thank God for that and for all your
jfaithful service for liim.
“So you preached your first ser
i inon, thereby beginning your ‘min
istry,’ the April after you and I were
tugging away at Senior Greek in the
R. W. corner room of’ll. S. C.
“Do you remember hanging my
chair up on a hook and writing on
the hoard, ‘The Greek Ghair is Sus
pended?’ That war, the first joke on
me.. I believe.
“ASay God continue to Idem you and
your work for Him.
“Yours faithfully,
“ADDISON HOGUE.’’

Singleness is risky; it is risk to

It is risky to ride; it is risky to walk;
Silence is risky; it is risky to talk;
It is risky to phone; it is risky to

The daytime is risky and so is the
night.
It is risky to motor; it is risky to fly;
And, by heck, it is risky for many to
die.”

We have just closed our spring
meeting, which began Wednesday
nitfht and lasted through Monday.
Just about two hundred came in from
the outstution in the country. Rome
of the women walked thirty miles to
attend this meeting, taking; two days
coming and two returning. They
brought bread with them an.i millet
soup was furnished them frt.ni ore
big pot, to Which most of them gave
something for the expense of the fuel
and millet. Their sleeping accommoda
tions were easily provided for as they
-lept on the straw on the floors, some
of them even going out into the yard
io j'ec out or the* noise! They can cas
'Iv adjust themselves to such condi
tions and most of them seem to get
much help cut of these meeting ■, both
by what they hoer and also', from com.
in«T in contact with Christians from
all parts of the field. We had early
prayer meeting at seven. Then they
ate breakfast and after that they had
classes. Sortie learned the books of the
Ilible, some the ten commandments
and some, the first truths in the Gos
pel. T hen we had a sermon, after
some practice in singing and after
1 hat dinner. Then we mot for two
hours examination, or as a friend 'put
it, trial” of candidates for baptism,
for it just about amounts to a ‘‘trial”
a they are questioned about one mat-,
ter and another, and the perspiration
just ran off of some of the women,
they wore so frlghtncd lest they faii
to {five the proper answer. I tried to
comfort such by caving that if they
really were saved the Holy Spirit
would give them the proper answers,
and it was encouraging to hear them
answer so clearly those questions that
were put to them. One man who had
been nn opium smoker and a gambler
! was among the one: naked to wait till
next fall for baptism. He gave a good
testimony, but ha ■ only been interest
ed a year and it was thought best t >
ask him to wait and prove himself
these coming months. To me the most,
interesting one was a deaf mute fifty
years old, who gave us this experience
in signs. His face shown so and his
evidence of a changed man seemed so
certain to those who were examining
him that every hand went1 up joyful
ly to vote for him to be received. We
after they had retired you could hear
had another sermon at night and then
different ones singing!! Sunday morn
ing our young- Chinese pastor who was
ordained last spring, buried CO wo
men and 17 men ,in baptintni In The
pool in our ri6w church wbTbh V/aS dod
icated last spring. The oldest woman
was 71 and the youngest 21. The hus
band of the latter got very angry be
cause she had been baptised and said
-she had to go home and not stay
through the rest of the services, but
he finally listened to persuasion and
stayed himself and we are hoping and
praying the Spirit has begun His
work in his heart* The old lady hgs
read six tracts Mrs. Crawford’s cate
chism, First Truths in the Gospel”
and begun on another little reader all
since she showed real interest a year
ago, and she did not know a charac
ter before. Sunday afternoon we
gathered to partake of our Lord's
Supper, and there was sobbing among
them as they thought, they said upon
these sufferings of our Master, be.
cause of their own sins. Early Monday
morning they were off for home.
Pray for them and that they may
live Christ to others.
Sincerely,
ATTIE T. BOSTICK.
