HDR. SPARKS": A Biography

A great human being is the portrait so skillfully and sympathetically etched of Sparks W. Melton by William L. Lumpkin.

The felicitously chosen title of this biography is "Doctor Sparks," for so he was affectionately known by the people of Norfolk, which was his home for forty-nine years and by the congregation of The Freemason Street Baptist Church to which he ministered for forty-four years.

From the day he entered Richmond College as a student and through all succeeding years he was a steadfast friend of The University of Richmond. Many and enriching were the contributions he made to students and faculty. As preacher at Religious Emphasis Week, as speaker on Commencement occasions, as trustee, as generous supporter of our Enlargement Program, as encourager of the young men and young women in his church to study at The University, as orator at our Centennial Celebration and as a regular partiopant in our annual Pastors' Conference, he welcomed every opportunity to witness to his love and loyalty. On our shelves are books from his library.

Dr. William Lumkin, alumnus, noteworthy historian and now pastor of the church which Dr. Melton served has recorded the biographical facts of Dr. Melton's distinguished career, from his birth in Fluvannia County to his death in Norfolk , and he has done more. He has recaptured the fragrance of a winsome and radiant personality and has given an exhibit of how rich and fine a life can be when utterly dedicated to the cause of Christ and for all the people for whom He so greatly cared.

A great human being was "Doctor Sparks," a "spiritually-mind ed man of the world." So we meet him in this entrancing biography.

The Wisdom of the Past

"NO MAN IS FREE

WHO IS NOT MASTER OF HIMSELF."

EPICTETUS

Too many of us-complaining of the erosion of individual liberties and the tightening controls of government- have overlooked or forgotten this simple philosophy.

Yet it is as true today in 20th Century America as it was 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece. To remain free, we must be willing to face individual responsibility. To accept self discipline as the only true discipline. To defend -consciously and constantly-the liberties we cherish.

This was the philosophy that guided our founding fathers. Men such as Washington and Jefferson dedicated their lives to creating a nation in which all men could be masters of themselves. Answerable above all to their own consciences. Served by their government-and not its servants.

Their legacy to us was individual freedom. If today it seems in jeopardy, let us remember: No man is free who is not master of himself.
