Dr. B.H. Carroll, The Colossus of Baptist History

In the days of John Chrysostom, the golden mouthed preacher, the people said, “It were better for the sun to cease his shining than for John Chrysostom to cease his preaching.” Something of that same feeling must be in our hearts today as we are called to face the exodus of the greatest preacher our State has ever known. How difficult it is to realize that B.H. Carroll has fallen on sleep! When did death ever deal Texas Baptists before such a staggering blow? Shall we ever see his like again? George W. Truett
