THE ORDINATION.
A crowded congregation assembled
in Fort Street Church at 80. The
pulpit was occupied by Revs. J, \.
Cruzan, DR.. Hyde, II. :. Jordan,
Hiram Bingham and f. G.. Oggel,
and DR.. Hyde intimatcd to the con
gregatiOn that the examination of
Mr.. Dyer had resulted satisfactorily,
and that the ordination services
would then be proceeded with.
An able and eloquent sermon was
preached by Rev. II. ). Jordan, from
| Cor. ID 20, "For He must reign till
he hath put all enemies under his
feet" At the close of the sermon,
hymn was sung. A small stand was
then placed in position with Il bible
on it, to which Mr.. Dyer was con;
| Quoted, when he assumed II kneeling
posture. The five pastors above
named placed each his right hand on
the candidates head, while the Rev.
f. c. Oggcl offered the ordination
prayer. The Rev. DIR. Hyde, on be-
half OF the council, rendered Mr..
Dyer the right hand of fellowship,
prcfacing the ceremony with appro-
pirate remarks. Rev. J. A. Cruzan
| delivered the charge to the newly
ordained minister, citing the remark
made by an old Scotch minister
under similar circumstances, that
there were three requisites to II sue
cessiul ministry, CD good health, (2)
religion, (3) common sense, and OBJ
served that the personal appearance
of Mr.. Dyer was sufficient to show
that he possessed the first; his eX-
animation before the council afforded
good evidence that he had the second
and the manner in which he had dis
charged the duties of the oncrous
and trying position occupied by him
during his past seven or eight years
residence in this kingdom, furnished
the best possible proof that he was
gifted with the third of the requisites
named. But above all, he wished tc
emphasize the fact that the first anc
greatest requisite OF all to II minister
of the gospel is earnest answering
loyalty to the Lord Jesus Christ, anC
concluded by charging him, in III
cases, to take the word of God the
man of his counsel and the guide o
his life.
The proceedings were then brough
to close, Mr.. Dyer pronouncing thu
benediction.
The newly-ordained minister, Rev
f. n. Dyer, is Massachusetts, man
and has been engaged in teaching II
Kohala, in the Government publ,
school. An excellent paper, writer
by him for the Teachers Convention
on Seven Years Teaching in Hawaii
appeared in the BULLETIN II few week
ago. He enters upon his new spher
