Scope and Contents

"We are gathered here this morning to pay a final and well-deserved tribute to Charles Stone Jones ... It might seem strange to you that this tribute is being delivered for a Texas Baptist by a Catholic priest from Notre Dame." Or "My dear friends, before beginning the service this morning, I would like to read for you a telegram, which just arrived from the President of the United States ... Those of you who know President Nixon can read between the lines of this telegram and see that it was certainly done by his hand."
