hymn sung By the congregation.
The topic for the evening was Evangelistie
work of the local church. Rev. Dr. Sewall
Of Bangor opened the discussion. and sug-
| gested some of the things needed by the
| pastor to succeeded In this work. He men.
| TONED the following characteristics as needed
| by the pastor especially;
| 1st deep love for souls; 2nd, full sense
| Of their spiritual needs; Sd a conviction that
| the gospel IS sufficient TO meet these needs;
4th, large idea Of what ought to be done
and what can be done 9th, sound, healthy,
| cOnsecrated manhood
The speaker. secondly referred to the
| methods Of work - --~ ir=~-a
/. The first in time and work is to build
up stable, working, aggressive church to

2. IL Is the privilege and duty Of the
pastor to use all the honors and Offices OF his
station to advance his work. Various
names are used In the Scriptures to designate
MS ofnce and duties, and he Is TO study
these, and feed the souls Of his flock To
/ feed the soul Is to be the one central aim In
being shepherd Of the flock.
| B.. What are the practical ways Of work

Rev Charles Harbutt of Bridgton, follow
ed with suggestions on the duty of laymen
| in evangellstic work.
| The speaker thought that far too much Of
| the church work Is expected from the pas
| tors. Laymen should do very much of the
neighb0rhood, family and out-statiOn work
| that IS now done by ministers. The speaker
| gave illustrations OF the kind Of work that
| he with others had been doing in Chicago
| before he entered the ministry. he thought
that men should use a practical, common
| sense, ,sanctifed method of reaching the daily
| life OF the people, and doing this they viii
reach the masses. But especially the lay
men are to present to the world practical IL
iustrations In daily life OF true Christian liy-
ing.
Rev. DR.. Morse Of Wells, followed with
remarks upon the need Of Christian Work
ers letting themselves down to the needs Of
the common people.
Rev. Mr.. Stiles followed in the same e~llne
OF remarks, and thought that writing SER
mons Is mistake. The leading place Of
preaching must be inside Of the walls Of the
churches.
Rev. Mr.. Harlow gave an Instance of sue
cessful work by layman and urged others
to follow this example.
Rev. Mr.. Pope followed, after whom Mr..
=. A. Woodbury. spoke Of the need Of hay-
ing living, working zeal for the souls of
others. q w ad xvft
ones own salvation. We need to seek to
reach the many people of reputable lives
who neglect the church.
After singing the congregation was dis
missed with the benediction by Rev. Mr..
Nichols.
