Owen Turley's Sermon Suggested Theme For '1950 Lily Blossom Parade" Brookings Market Rev. Owen T. Turley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otoo C Turley, who was a guest of his parents last year at the time of Lily Blossom parade, was so impressed by the beauty of the lilies that he wrote the following sermon which he delivered in the Community Church, Swedenborgian, of Berkeley, Calif., of which he is pastor. The Azalea Garden Club, this year, is using his theme for the flower show. His address, “Dragging the Anchor,” was published as the sermon of the week in the Nov. 14. 1949, issue of Berkeley Daily Gazett, and is given here as being timely and interesting to his many friends of the area. Rev. Turley began his sermon by quoting Matthew 7:28: “Con opportunities to develop our abil sider the lilies of the field, how ities and talents and to choose they grow.” whether we wish to use those “The growing of Easter lily abilities for the happiness of all bulbs is one of the main busi people or just for satisfying our nesses of the coastal area of own wants and desires.
