Fdre,ceU SerDi0n.-Rev. Mr.. Waters preach- |
ed his farewell sermon as pastor of the Second |
Baptist Church, last Sunday morning. He took |
for his text the words uttered by St. Paul when |
he took leave of the people of Ephcsus, as re- |
corded in the 32d verse OF the 10th chapter of |
Acts indicating that he should continue to feel
deep interest in he welfare of the charge he was
about leaving In listening 10 his Introductory ,
remarks we could not refrain from contrasting |
them with those uttered by his predecessor, |
some three or four years ago, based on the text |
"Judge thou between thee and me" There |
was such bitterness of spirit manifested on that
occasion rs to render the parting anything hut j
pleasant. Ater some predatory reIaarks, Mr.. /
Walters observed that it was always painful /
duty for pastor to sever his connection with |
his charge-to icsl thai lie SHOULD appear |
aNTa II
think, he remarked, that evil may possibly result
from the change. If the pulpit could he sup
piled at once, and the work so steadily forward |
there would be loss cause of regret. But this /
cannot readily be, and oflcI weary months |
elapse before successor can be selected, and /
much of the good that has been done is lost
He had only been induced TO sever his tonnec- /
ton here through the hope that he might enter |
wider field of usefulness. His work In this |
charge had been source of pride, mingled with /
occasional grief. Some Of the members who |
were faltering when his pastorate commenced, |
had been rescued, and are now fully established |
in the faith and happy in the hope of saliva |
ton. Like Peter they had returned to their /
first love, and were more ardent than eyer in /
their desire to serve the Lord. There were /
some, however, that he had failed 10 convince /
of error, and they were now seeking 10 find en- |
joyment 10 The decisions and follies of the world.
He regretted their downfall, and had often ask |
for their deserion OF tho church. He also re-
marked that there is nothing that SO wounds |
pastors feelings as the absence of his flock from
their usual place of worship, and he had often |
felt like crying out to God in distress. On many
occasions, had he not remembered the command |
of God to preach His Word, his efforts would |
have been feeble indeed. When the people are |
cold and Indifferent most haleful influence is |
exerted upon the preacher. They should re
member this on the selection of 4 new pastor, |
and endeavor to give him ali the aid and en-
enlargement in their power. The welfare of
the church depends largely upon the attendance
of the members every Sabbath. He felt thank |
full, indeed, 10 those who had regularly filed
their place every Sabbath since his ministry
commenced. 1t was the duty of all to attend
every service who could possibly do so, and also
to aid In the dissemination of the truth. Much
more good could he done, il every one would
endeavor to repeat through the week the truths
advanced from the pulpit. All should try 10
impart the words of the minister to their neigh
bois and friends, aud thus aid in the work of
evaugelization. He reminded them that the
prayer meeting would never be dull II every one
endeavored to impart the truth and to invoke
the blessings of God upon all. He commended
the congregation for their disposition to live a
holy life, rather than to make any great demon
s,ration of their feelings, and remarked that IL
he were about to enter on his passionate again,
he would desire 10 be placed on every commit
tee, so that be might be enabled to stimulate to
greater libeIality and usefulness. He did not
believe that any would be injured by giving
more literally, while the Interests of the chnrch
frequently languished through want Of dlspo-
sition on the part of the members to engage In
new enterprises, and to carry them to q success
l full completion. lie trusted that the efforts of
1 his successor might be fully sustained in every
