Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of The Rush 24-7 Podcast.
You know, folks, I'm I'd be honest with you.
I'm not everybody else who gets up and goes to work.
After a really great day, like yesterday was, you said you say to yourself, yeah, how am I going to top that?
And I said, there's no way.
I just there's no way, especially when I started doing the intense portion of show prep, there's no way I'm going to be able to top yesterday's program.
And I think I was wrong.
Oh man, the chaos.
The chaos.
The chaos continues in the Democrat Party.
Greetings, my friends.
It's great to have you with us.
Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, and the uh Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
I let me do a couple three quick little lifestyle stories here before we get going.
Oh.
Before that, listen, listen, you gotta hear this.
This is the fallout from the Spitzer stuff.
Los Angeles Times today, columnist Patty Kelly, legalize prostitution.
Yeah, now wait.
That's that's just the headline.
Listen to this.
This is near the end of the piece.
Saying that all sex workers are victims, and all clients are demons is the easy way out.
Perhaps it's time to face this fact, like adults, or at least like they do in Mexico, with a little less moralizing and a good deal more honesty.
As for Spitzer, as for Spitzer, if he had walked into the Galactic Zone, which is a whorehouse down in Mexico that this babe uh writes about, if he'd walked into the galactic zone, my question would have been these.
Was he respectful?
Was he safe?
Did he pay well?
If the answer to all three was yes, then well, I voted for him once, I'd vote for him again.
I'll tell you what.
Perot was right.
He was just years ahead of it, folks.
The giant sucking sound you hear is Mexico.
Yes, if he paid well, if he was nice and respectful, I'd vote for him again.
Now, Patty Kelly, an anthropology professor, George Washington University, the author of Lydia's open door, Inside Mexico's Most Modern Brothel.
Uh book do out in April.
Legalize prostitution.
You just knew it was gonna happen.
All right, now this.
This is just some of these stories here, they're just unbelievable.
I don't know one of them, I'm not even sure is real.
Uh from Chicago, Trefley Coin, that's T R E F F L Y, Trefley Coin, was out of her car for just minutes and no more than 10 yards away, but that was long and far enough, ten yards away, to land her in court after a police officer spotted her sleeping two-year-old daughter alone in the car.
Coin had taken her two older daughters to pour eight dollars and twenty-nine cents in coins into a salvation army kettle.
Minutes later, she was under arrest, the focus of both a police investigation and a probe by the state's child welfare agency.
That's Obama's state we're talking about.
Uh now the case that has become an internet flash point for people who either blast cops for overstepping their authority or coin for putting a child in danger.
She's a 36-year-old suburban mother, and she's preparing to go to go on trial today on uh misdemeanor charges of child endangerment and obstructing a cop.
If convicted, she can be sentenced to a year in jail and fined $2,500, even though child welfare workers found no credible evidence of abuse or neglect.
She's out of the car a minute or two.
She put in some coins that she saved up from the house into a salvation army kettle, and she's on trial.
This is unreal.
This is this is beyond political correctness now.
This is this is the nanny state uh on parade, folks.
This is what you get when liberals run the show.
This is you can look for more of this.
This next one out of Wichita, Kansas.
You've probably heard about this.
It's lunchtime for some of you.
You you you may not want to listen to this.
If you don't like bathroom stories, you you may not want to.
A 35-year-old woman who sat on her boyfriend's toilet.
For so long her body was stuck to the seat by the time he called cops, had a phobia about leaving the bathroom, the boyfriend said.
She's an adult.
She made her own decision, said her boyfriend.
I I should have gotten help for her sooner, I admit that, but after a while you just kind of get used to it.
How do you get used to this?
Wait till you hear what's next.
The case drew nation, my attention, after the sheriff, Brian Whipple said it appeared that the woman's skin had grown around the toilet seat.
In the two years she was in the bathroom.
We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar, and the seat went with her to the hospital, said Sheriff Whipple.
The hospital removed the toilet seat.
The boyfriend, 36 said he can't be certain how long Pam Babcock stayed in the bathroom because time just went by so quick, I can't Two Years.
On the toilet for two years.
You know she's got a phobia, but this this I read this gotta be a joke, but it's real.
I know it's not April Fool's Day.
We're not even close to it.
Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Rotham Clinton said she's saddened by the fall of Elliot Spitzer.
And that's it.
She's saddened.
She said, Hillary, you are the standard bearer for emancipated liberated woman.
The guy is out there ruining the lives of young women, paying them, corrupting their lives.
This and you're saddened by it.
It's like it's like Bill Clinton said yesterday.
The Democrat Party, that's all.
If you're sick, you got there's enough, there are no rules, Democrat Party.
If you got that handy, Mike, we had that yesterday, because this would be very very apropos.
It's what we led into the uh uh client number nine, love climate number nine with yesterday.
Yes you're getting it now.
All right.
Also coming up, folks, after the after the break, the chaos is continuing in the Democrat Party, and it's in this race business.
We may have to revive Barack the Magic Negro today.
We're gonna have to.
Well, because this is Obama's commenting on this.
They said first he says that he said I wasn't black enough, now they're saying I'm too black.
But folks, the Christmas sermon delivered by Obama's spiritual advisor and preacher.
We're gonna play.
I've got four excerpts of it.
I got yes, I told Cookie to bleep out that one word.
Cause I know he said people are gonna know what he said.
We're we're bleeping it for the sake of this audience.
They'll know what he said.
Yes, it's already done, its decision is made.
I bleeped out that one word.
Now the reason we're gonna do this is because Obama keeps talking about the future, and we need change.
And the fact of the matter is Barack Obama is simply leading a double life.
He's got two lives.
His public life is an agent of change, but he's an old-time political hack from an old-time political hack town, Chicago.
And wait till you this is the guy that married Obama and his wife Michelle.
And uh he's all he said of well, you know, he says some things that embarrass me.
It's like that a crazy uncle that everybody has.
This is um.
You just have to hear this.
And then of course there'll be appropriate commentary for me.
Have we found the Bill Clinton thing?
I've been waiting.
How could we not have found it's on a computer hard drive?
You got a slug in there, you simply searched the slug.
Never mind.
Forget it.
Are we ready on the commercial break?
Okay.
Go.
One of my all-time favorite bumps.
Fight the power.
And that's relevant today.
Wait till you hear Obama's pastor.
Now, we've mentioned this guy off and on during the course of the uh of the campaign.
Of course, as you know, ladies and gentlemen, this program likes to focus on personalities and uh not on personalities, they're rather issues and so forth.
And we like to cause a little mischief whenever we can.
But it's gotten to the point Now where we can we can sort of back out uh for well not for long, but for a couple weeks, maybe just be bystanders and watch this implosion.
Somebody put it up on YouTube, uh, the uh the the Christmas 2007 sermon uh at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, the pastor Jeremiah Wright.
Now, this is the guy that married Barack and Michelle My Bell Obama.
They've been going to this church for 20 years.
They have been taking our two little crumb crunchers to this church.
Now that means this guy and this church, and the kind of stuff that's set in this church, Barack Obama had been signing on to long before he came on the public scene, long before he ran for local office in Chicago, state office in Illinois, I and then uh, of course, the United States Senate.
I mentioned mere moments ago in a brilliant analysis, Obama is leading a double life.
This pastor, this church, the stuff that you are going to hear in mere moments, is representative of the life that Barack Obama used to live before he arrived in the United States Senate and started his presidential campaign.
He chose this master.
He chose this pastor.
This is this is not happenstance.
He's also associated, as you know, with uh Tony Rezco, uh William Ayers, the domestic terrorist.
Uh and by the way, all this is the side of his life that he doesn't want discussed.
Uh he wants to talk about hope and change and the in the future.
Uh and this is the life Obama lived.
Who he was before he became interested in the presidents?
And his pastor didn't just start talking like this.
Let's go to the audio sound bites.
We'll start with number one.
This is again the 2007 Christmas sermon, Obama Pastor Jeremiah Wright.
Jesus was a poor black man who lived in a country and who lived in a culture that was controlled by rich white people.
The Romans were rich, the Romans were Italians, which means they were European, which means they were white, and the Romans ran everything in Jesus' country.
It just came to me within the past few weeks, y'all, why so many folk are hating on Barack Obama.
He doesn't fit the model.
He ain't white, he ain't rich, and he ain't privileged.
This is the kind of stuff Obama's been listening to from this guy 20 years.
This guy didn't just start talking this way.
Here's the next bite.
Hillary never had to worry about being pulled over in her car as a black man driving in the wrong.
I am sick of Negroes who just do not get it.
Hillary was not a black boy raised in a single parent home.
Barack was.
Barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people.
Hillary can never know that.
Hillary ain't never been called a nigger.
Hillary has never had a people defined as non-president.
Hillary ain't had to work twice as hard just to get accepted by the rich white folk who run everything, or to get a passing grade when you know you are smarter than that C student sitting in the White House.
Hillary ain't never had her own people say she wasn't white enough.
Um is this what is meant by a new future?
Is this what is meant by change?
Barack Obama, community activist, his preacher, a hate monger, a black segregationist, he's got a friend from the weather underground who was on the run for terrorist acts.
He befriended and benefited the largesse of a Chicago thug.
Is this What is meant by change?
Is this where we are investing hope for the future?
Is this really moving forward at all?
Or is this taking us backwards?
The past is the past, and the past is because it's behind us.
And to get behind you, you gotta turn around and go the other way.
And that's the opposite of going forward in the future.
Barack Obama tells us he wants to go forward, but we're turning around, we're going backward.
We're going back to the past.
We're going to go back to the past, we're going to relive the past, apparently.
This guy has been preaching to Barack Obama for 20 years.
And his wife, Michelle My Bell Obama, and their children.
And this guy certainly didn't just start talking like this.
Is this is this what his meant by changing the system?
Is this what is meant?
From fresh ideas and new politics.
The fact is, these old liberal war horses who now sit as reporters and anchors want us to believe that Obama is JFK and Lincoln, and that doesn't make it so.
This is JFK, the JFK's priests talk like this.
This is Obama's pastor, folks.
You need to understand this.
People need to understand that he and his wife chose this church because of this pastor.
To say he has no responsibility for what the pastor says, yeah, that's true, but the pastor believes all this.
Obviously, Obama chose it.
Let me put a fine point on this.
You know me, I don't like to skirt around the issues.
What we have heard, and there's there's listen, how many more we got?
We got three more.
We have three more, one of them short.
This is lunatic racism.
This is pure lunatic racism, and Obama chose this.
He chose this pastor.
He chose this church.
He chose this hate monger as a spiritual leader.
This guy doesn't represent any change.
This guy doesn't represent any hope to anybody.
This guy doesn't represent any future.
This guy is pure hate.
Ladies and gentlemen, Obama knew all about him.
This is a guy who gave an award to Farrakhan.
This same preacher, Jeremiah Wright, went to visit Moamer Qaddafi in the 1980s.
Has given award to Calypso Louie.
Now Obama knows all this, knew all about him.
Now he plays the role of offended centrist Democrat.
When Ferraro says what she says, he's out there acting offended by the way they axed Ferraro.
She has been thrown under the bush.
She is gone.
And she is mad.
She is still livid that people think she's a racist.
You compare what she said, what she said was right, it was truthful.
You compare that to what Obama's been listening to in church.
She was she the point that she was ultimately making was, and she said it about herself.
That if uh somebody with two years experience who was white would not be this far advanced in the Democrat presidential sweepstakes.
Let's go.
Here's let's get these bites in.
Here's uh uh this is Jeremia Wright on the Clintons from the uh from the same sermon.
Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill have been good to us.
No, he ain't.
Bill did us just like he did Monica Lewinsky.
He was riding dirty.
He was riding dirty with the big fat nasty.
Riding dirty with the big fat nasty.
Here is more Jeremiah Wright 2003 sermon in Chicago, Trinity United Church of Christ.
The government gives him the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law, and then wants us to sing God bless America.
No, no, no.
Not God bless America, God d America that's in the Bible for killing innocent people.
God America for treating us citizens that's less than human.
2003 sermon, Obama may have been in the congregation that day.
You heard.
No, no, no, this this that was 2003.
This is this is five years ago.
This is not in the Christmas sermon.
Uh but he's out there, you know, God bleep America, not God bless God bleep.
So the Romans were Europeans, which means they were white, and they killed Jesus.
So are we to believe here Rudolph Giuliani is going to go out and take out Obama?
This is the way this guy thinks.
And Obama sits there and listens to it, folks, as often as he goes to church.
And he chose it, and he'd been going there for 20 years.
We have one more Jeremiah Wright soundbite.
We'll get to it after the after the break.
And Obama talking about race on his campaign plane today, not specifically Jeremiah Wright.
Folks, we have I mean, we just turned a tea kettle on and hadn't even heated up yet.
Sit back.
On the cutting edge of societal evolution.
Geraldine Ferraro's point is essentially this.
And it's something, you know, Obama shouldn't even really be mad about it, especially given what he listens to in his own church.
His kids were baptized in this church.
They don't just go there.
I think they're like six and ten years old.
Baptized in this church.
They chose it.
They support it.
Now, what Geraldine, Mr. Snurley wants you to hear this because your screening calls you make it calls about this, Mr. Snerdley and everybody else.
What Geraldine Furr, I'm sure what she meant was, okay, we got a guy whose candidacy is said to be historic.
Why?
Is it what he believes?
Is it what he says?
Is it how he says it?
Is it the color of his skin?
Damn right.
Well, you can't factor that out.
That is one it's just like Hillary's candidates, he is said to be historic.
Why?
Because this would be the first vagina monologues woman ever elected president or woman, period.
So you can't take those two things.
It's all she was saying.
And she happened to use the word, but you can see where, I mean, she did, she she clarified.
I wasn't talking about his qualifications.
And then she followed up with a Bush insult.
She said, Look, if Bush can learn to run the country country, I'm sure Obama can.
I was talking about experience, lack of it, not qualifications.
And then she's still peeved if people think that she's uh racist.
Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor, a 2001 sermon.
Now, we were going back some years here to show you this did not just one sermon last December.
This stuff is consistent.
2001 is seven years ago.
Listen to this one.
We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuke far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye.
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back into our own front yards.
America's chickens coming home to roost.
This is Barack Obama's pastor saying we deserved it on 9-11.
We deserved what we got for all evil that we have done around the world.
I've people said, Rush, you bleeped out what Obama said God bleeped.
Did he was it?
Yeah, it's what you think it was.
It it he's it was.
I don't know how that I've just told you what the other word was, but I'm not gonna put him together.
Bleeped it out, not gonna do it, and I gotta go there.
Now, this pastor, Jeremiah, and by the way, I'm still waiting for Obama to apologize to me.
Obama running around out there lying about me, saying that I wanted to round up all the illegals and deport them.
Never said it.
Never I don't never have thought it would be possible.
It's not the point.
My take on illegal immigration.
He's out there saying it.
I have demanded an apology.
I mean, if he's gonna run around and get all offended and all upset and all sensitive about these criticisms he's getting, well, then he's gotta apologize when he engages in those kinds.
When PB says things about people aren't true, I am offended.
I have been lied about by the leading Democrat presidential candidate.
Now, this pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
He is a racist.
He is a hater.
Here is the question for you, Obama.
Why'd you join this church?
Why did you stay with this church for 20 years?
Why do you subject you, your wife, and your kids to this hate monger in son in church as often as you go?
Why you donate large sums of money to this church and this pastor?
Obama.
Who in the world joins a church to listen to a pastor who is a racist hate monger?
Who contributes money to a church where the pastor is a racist?
How can it be said with a straight face?
And believe me, mine's not.
How can it be said with a straight face that Obama didn't know what this pastor was preaching?
Obama has said that he searched for a church that was appropriate for his beliefs.
This is the church that he settled on.
The Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
So why did you join this church, Obama?
Why did you stay with his church for 20 years?
Why do you give large sums of money to this church?
Here's Obama, Soundbite 6.
I'm changing the order.
Here's Obama.
This is uh March 3rd in Nelson, Ohio campaign event.
Obama said this about Jeremiah Wright, who you just heard.
Jeremiah Wright, who was my pastor in the past, has said some things that are considered controversial because he's considered that part of his social gospel.
Well, that's helpful.
I mean, that's really helpful.
What it was his pastor in the past?
He's quit.
Oh, he resigned.
The pastor.
So the s the Christmas sermon was the last sermon.
Well, Jeremiah Wright's gone, huh?
We're gonna find this out.
This is news to me.
I know most everything, and I didn't know that Jeremiah Wright was gone.
Where'd they put him?
Where did they put him if he's gone?
Okay, Jeremiah Wright gone.
Here's uh this morning.
Good morning, America, Chris Kumo interviewing uh an advisor to the Obama campaign and a professor, professor of Christian ethics at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington.
Chris Kumo said, You Yes, I know it's Cuomo, but uh the Reverend Dax uh pronounces it kumo, and I don't in this highly charged racial atmosphere.
I don't want to be accused of racism.
So if they say kumo, it's kumo.
So anyway, Chris Kumo says, You you believe uh that what uh what the Reverend uh has said doesn't go beyond the pale of what he preaches in terms of religion, it doesn't deserve any more scrutiny than that.
It doesn't have anything to do with politics.
This is just the media picking on Senator Obama.
It seems to me what you're trying to do is what some of the media tried to do to John Kennedy in 1960, that because he was a Catholic, he must embrace certain political views the Catholic Church held.
And he denied those, and he denied those for about a four-year period, and it really wasn't until the actual election itself that the American public understood that he was able to separate himself from some of the political views of his church.
I think it's the same dynamic that's going on here.
Um that's that's just unbelievable.
That that is just to compare Jeremiah Wright, what you just heard to the same thing that John Kennedy was doing in the that that is just they can't face up to this.
That is he really gone.
Did you do some research?
Jeremiah Wright gone.
Well, find it.
We'll just sit there and look, find it.
Show's moving along pretty quick.
I want you to keep up.
Here's Obama.
This morning on a campaign play.
We're back to Sound by 21.
Listen to this.
As I said yesterday, I do think it's unfortunate.
It's not entirely unexpected.
I mean, you know, as I said before, race and gender issues are very powerful in our society.
They've been an organizing principle for our politics since the earliest days of this country.
And so it would be naive for me to think that we could just brush them aside.
And I know that sometimes Senator Clinton and others accuse me of being naive, but I'm not naive enough to think that we're gonna solve the country's racial problems or some of these other divisions in the span of six months or a year.
This guy, he's gone.
Okay, Jeremiah Wright's January 13th.
After the Christmas sermon, Jeremiah Wright, he's at any rate.
Past pastor.
Now, uh, ladies and gentlemen, this guy Obama, this did you just heard this?
He was asked a question about race in politics.
You hear this?
This guy is leading two lives and he's getting away with it.
He is.
There's the public Obama that is this new revolutionary agent of change and hope in the future.
And the other Obama, which has been alive much longer than his new Obama, has been sitting himself down in this racist church and soaking up all of this hate mongering racism from this pastor for over 20 years.
And to act like and to get away with this, this this is this is the last thing this is is change.
The last thing this is is hope.
The last thing this represents is a new future.
This is worse than the same old, same old.
Well, I don't know how the same old same old can be worse, but it's the same old, same old.
And he's getting away with leading this double life here.
Uh and when this is brought up, well, you know, I don't know.
This is his crazy uncle, and we put him down in the basement of the church, he says some things, you know, social gospel, blah, blah.
Oh!
Fine, that explains it.
That explains why your pastor thinks we deserve what we got.
That explains why the Al Aqsa brigades over in the Middle East can't wait till you're elected.
That's why Hugo Chavez can't wait till you're elected.
Those guys say we deserve 9-11, too.
Your preacher said Obama that we deserved 9-11.
You got all these guys that can't wait for you to get elected.
And it ain't just because you promised talk to them.
Back in just a second.
Well.
Well.
It may well be that Obama's pastor has left the pulpit of the Trinity United Church of Christ.
However, according to the Politico.com, Ben Smith, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, is a member of Obama's African American religious leadership committee.
Now, it is largely honorary.
It's an advisory body that in recent days has been used mostly to throw people off who say controversial things.
The uh Obama campaign couldn't immediately say whether uh Reverend Jeremiah Wright would remain on the committee, but that's where he went.
He left the church and he went to the Obama campaign.
So Obama says, Oh, this is I I uh this will amend all this race has come up.
I know we're not gonna fix this in six months or even a year.
Well, Senator Obama, you would know that race is an organizing principle in our country since your pastor promoted it.
And you joined church because of the brilliant things your pastor was saying.
And then the pastor leaves the church and joins your campaign in an advisory role.
Meanwhile, Representative Steve King of Iowa, we talked about him yesterday, says that Al Qaeda will be celebrating an Obama election victory.
And McCain says, Stop it!
I will not have those kind of things yet.
You're off point and throws him down the stairs.
Pardon the sniffles.
This pastor hates Israel.
This pastor embraces the Palestinian cause, such as it is.
He's Obama's pastor.
Steve King says Al Qaeda would like to see Obama win, and that's considered over the top and a personal attack.
I'll tell you what, folks, this this political correctness, I'm about ready to throw it overboard.
And whatever consequences I suffer, I'm gonna suffer them.
Somebody's gotta this is just it's paralyzing us.
It is making us ignore and look the other way at things which are really crucially important, such as this.
Barack Obama living two lives.
And he didn't just check his old life at the door.
He still goes to this church up until last December, and this pastor's still around as an advisor.
We don't know who Obama is.
We don't know what he really, all we can do is surmise.
But since he doesn't say anything on the stump, since he says nothing better than anybody else has ever said nothing.
We can go to where he parks himself every Sunday and listen to what his preacher says.
And we can see does he walk out in disgust or protest?
No, he keeps going, has his kids baptized there.
You know, it's time we found out who this guy really is.
I'm serious.
I got a funny thing here in the email.
I don't know who did this.
I would love to credit whoever did this.
It's funny, by the way, the Palm Beach Post today has got this big long story on the Democrats and their plan to redo the primary here in Florida with mail-ins.
Every Democrat for Oh!
Oh, you know what I got in the mail yesterday?
I got my notice from the IRS that my stimulus check is that you get yours.
Except I'm not going to get one.
He says, now remember, you don't get one of these unless you file a 2007 tax return.
This This is this is perfect electioneer politics.
Get a big note from the IRS that none of none none of it looks threatening.
And you get a big note in the IRS telling you you're gonna get $3,000 or $300, whatever the whatever the amount is.
Starting in May.
Anyway, this they're gonna do this right in ballot here.
And it's funny.
They can't even run their own business.
I'm gonna get this story for the next segment, the next hour sometime to go through what these Democrats in Florida have designed.
In the meantime, somebody sent me this, and I wish I knew who did it so I could credit them.
It is Terry McCulliff's proposed ballot for the Florida mail in election.
Democrat Party 2008 presidential primary write-in ballot.
By the way, only two candidates will be on this ballot, Hillary and Obama.
Instructions checkbox for one candidate.
That may be too complicated for some in Florida, but we'll see.
Here are Hillary Hillary Rodham Clinton, comma, senator from New York, champion of women and children, made dangerous corkscrew landing and saved Bosnia, responsible for peace in Ireland, will be ready on day one, 35 years unparalleled service to the country, admired by the military and nations around the world, has fought off the vast right-wing conspiracy.
Everybody says she'd be an excellent president.
Next box, Barack Hussein Obama.
Sorry, Senator McKay.
Hey, those of you waiting on hold.
I don't have time to squeeze a call in here before the hour ends, but all of you that are on hold.
Hang in or be tough.
We'll get to you as quick as he can in the uh in the next hour.
In fact, we've got our old buddy Lorraine X back from uh from San Diego.
Uh all angry at the Clintons now.
Lorraine X used to call me, give me grief like you can't believe.
Back in the 90s about the Clintons.
Well now she's apparently had it with them.
She's probably an Obama babe.
Uh an update on the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ.
By the way, the the Trinity United Church Christ has nothing to do with the churches of Christ all over the country.
This is this is this is it's it's it's it stands alone.
The Reverend Wright announced his retirement from the church, and it will not become effective until May of 2008.
He's not gone yet.
He's still there to church, and he's still on the Obama campaign.
He held his last sermon Sunday, February 10th.
