We aDDend SYNOPSIS OF Bishop Dorrett's
sermon at Centenary church, after Which
drarons were ordained.
Matthew Xiii. II. .. Jesus saith unto
them. Have We understood all these things
They say INTO him. Yea. Lord. Then said
he 1ipto;them. Therefore every scribe 2rhich

Subject: " Tie Competency of the Chris
tan Scribe for the Purposes of His Duty"
The first fundamental element OF this
competency is the quality OF MS informa-
ton.
No man can teach that he does not know.
He must be acquainted with 'Christ's plan
OF saving men. He is not required at
given time to understand every truth COM
pretended within his commissions, but
what is required at a'givcn time IL teach to
others.
The prerequisite OF this information is
loyalty to Jesus Christ himself-a loyalty
based upon alteration and love. The sphere
OF his information is "thc kingdom OF
be,vcn - which senorates him from the
tnmnor,l and sncu)ar-a snhere sufficient TO
