"Dr. Howard Kelly of Johns Hopkins University in his later hears wore a fresh rose in the lapel of his coat every day… The rose caused the inquirer to ask the purpose of the rose. Dr. Kelly used the rose to tell them of the Rose of Sharon, the Lord Jesus Christ. Dr. Howard Kelly was an eminent medical doctor. He is written about in most of the present-day encyclopedias. He wrote a number of medical books, was a medical authority and a heart specialist. He was a heart specialist in at least two different ways—in the spiritual as well as the physical. Thank God for a rose in the lapel of a man’s coat."
