A Wise Charge.

We seldom see more practical wisdom

contained in the following synopsis of
Bishop Simpsons address to the preachers.

mend most of it to our yonng pastors,
1t will bear much study.
/. Every where secure plenty of
church property by purchase OF donation.
and see that the titles are perfect, thus get.
ting firm foothold for the church.
2. Make your churches independent

and cultivating them, insead of runninn
every thing yourself; then when you 20

sponsibility opens the heart. and is saved
in service.

sliders and entreat them; seek strangers
and soften their hearts by attention,
Make love your weapon and your power
and victory are sure.
/ Use the local preachers exhortcrs.
Explain to them their relation to The
church and pursuade them to go preach.
While other denominations are growing
INTO an appreciation of the lay-preacbing
element, we are letting it rest.
. Study the machinery Of society. It
varies; adapt yourselves. Use favorites
IN families and communities, and leaders
IN classes, and parties, and departments, as
avenues to the general heart, Take care
OF your tongue and speak no evil, Think
OF your one mission. Win souls. Win
the best, to reach others by influence.
WIN the worst, to show the power of the
gospel. Win all, for Christ's sake, and
always possess the power yourselves.
