Rev. 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
