In the evening commenced a letter to Judi, received one from my mother also one from my betrothed Judie Underdown.

Reverend Joseph Spencer Kennard(Sept.1833 – 1899) was pastor of the E street Baptist Church from 1859-1862. In 1865 he was pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Washington DC. The text of Kennard’s sermon is from the OT Book of Zephaniah written by the poet Sophonias in the 7th century BC. The main thrust of the book is the denunciation of pride and the praise of humility. The poet espoused a philosophy of a return to simplicity and the rejection of corruption and pride.
