My Lord and Master
Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)
About this poem
This unrhymed 2-stanza poem is written in the form of an acrostic and dedicated by the pastors, governing board members, and congregation-at-large of Elim Alliance Church, Valley Cottage, New York, to the Reverend Dr. Maurice Ray Irvin, a nonagenarian servant of the Lord, for his ministry to the Rockland County Community, and to his faithful dedicated service of more than 70 years as pastor, teacher, and editor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. May the Lord continue to fruitfully bless his ministry as this veteran pastor, the Reverend Maurice Irvin continues his faithful service in a new capacity of ministry in the state of Pennsylvania. To God be the honor, glory, and praise. more »
