Matthew Harrison Brady:
People ask whether this trial is to be held in this little town of Hillsboro. I say that the greatest man that ever walked the face of the earth was born in a little town. That town was called Bethlehem. We don't measure greatness by the size of where we live. We measure greatness by those principles we live by. My dear friends. You know, yesterday at that marvelous picnic they gave Lucy and me they were serving watermelon. Hmmm. Delicious. I couldn't help thinking about that watermelon last night. I know. You're all looking at yourself and saying: "Watermelon? What on earth is Brady talking about?" My dear friends, I am talking about the sheer glory of God's creation. Beautiful luscious green on the outside and inside the green a layer of white, and within the white, a core of red. And scattered within that red are little black seeds. Now, each of these seeds gathers from somewhere ten thousand times its own weight to construct another glorious watermelon. Who drew the plan by which these little seeds work their wonder, huh? WHO? Until the scientists of this world can explain to me a watermelon, NEVER let them question the power of the Almighty!
