tended by Rev. A. r. Crane, former pastor of the
Baptist church in Haowell, who welcomed the
new minister 10 the noble band of christian min
listers, to hard work, and to glorious rewards.
The charge to the candidate was then given by
Dr. Stearns Of Newton who fiom his relations
with Mr. Tilden as teacher, feels deep interest
in his future welfare. He charged him to preach
with directness, to condense his thoughts with a
well stored mind, to win souls to Christ; to be
positive, but not personal-sin and redemption
are positive facts not to preach science and phi
losophy but leave that to the lyccum lecturer; to
preach from subjects sought out in the closet, and
from impressions received under the best religious
influences and states Of the mind Ito live in the
spirit and walk in the spirit, and to be forgetu Of
self. The charge fairly rang with telling points,
and excellent suggestions. At the close of 1t DIR.
