Two Good Stories from Rev Geo Stuart at Tabernacle
Rev George Stuart, co worker with Rev Sam Jones, told two tales linking Christ sufferings to truth. He recounted a Cleveland doctor tearing a child’s burning dress away, leaving a scar, and his daughters kissing the scar as a lesson of love for Jesus’s crucified hands. He shared a Civil War vignette of wounded Tom Plowman and a Yankee’s water, culminating in reconciliation with a rebel soldier. The message crowned by urging love for enemies and the cross’s example.
