Autumn reflections on fading leaves and eternal life
Rev. T DeWitt Talmage delivers a Washington sermon on We all fade as a leaf and the natural world as divine diagram. He likens autumn foliage to human aging, mortality, and the Christian hope of resurrection, urging patience with aging, praise for future generations, and the certainty of rising again. The talk blends biblical examples with vivid forest imagery and calls for active faith in life and after.
