D.J. Ward Memoriam

IN LOVING MEMORY He who learns to die daily while he lives will find it no difficulty to breath out his soul for the last time into the holy Hands of his faithful Creator. When Richard Baxter lay dying, and his friends came to see him, almost the last word he said in answer to the question, "Dear Mr. Baxter, how are you?" "Almost well," said he, and it is so. Death cures; it is the best medicine, for they who die are not only almost well, but healed forever. And so you are, "Sweet Prince," healed forever; beholding the face of our blessed Savior. "There is nothing to be gained in this life, but all to be gained in Glory. So, it is not a loss to die, but it is a lasting, perpetual gain." (C. H. Spurgeon) Rest, "Sweet Prince" until our Lord's return. Looking to my Eternal Hope, "Wifey" Sis. Brenda J. Ward Elder D. J. Ward 14th Pastor of the Main Street Baptist Church Years of Service: Aug 14, 1989 - April 25, 2008 "Good Night, Elder; We'll see you in the morning."

I did not know Rev. Ward, but I really enjoyed his sermons on TV. I felt close to him, even though we never meet.
