In the death of Professor C. L. Parker, the Men’s Bible class of the Goldston Baptist Church feel that it has lost a teacher whose place can never again be so richly supplied. Ever faithful of attendance, he brought each time to his class timely wisdom mingled with a vision of the high calling.
Mr. Parker was not a demonstrative sort of man except in patient consideration, solid thought. He never seemed to speak as one who would be heard of men, but rather as one who would ever be on the road after truth. Like his Great Exemplar, he was a man who cold and would suffer for truth’s sake. Honestly and simplicity marked his every step here as elsewhere in the affairs of daily life. For these reasons it is not a matter of surprise that many failed to know him as he was known to a few of us who gathered together only too seldom with him in this class, which he loved so much.
We extend to his family and to his friends here and in his native state, Illinois, our sympathy, and the assurance of having been benefitted by his short stay among us.
Respectfully submitted by his Sunday school class.
