Discourse on the Qualifications of
Gospel Preacher.

Discourse the Qualifications of q
Gospel Preacher.
The First Congregational Church was
well filed at $50 yesterday afternoon when
the opening hymn was sung.
Mr.. Mills delivered an earnest discourse
from the text, Acts xiii: 35: He preached
unto him Jesus"
THE question" he said, concerns the
qualifications Of gospel preacher as Illus
trated in this experience of Philips. Philip
was one Of those who had to preach,
although business man.
There are five characteristics shown by
Philip which are possible for every one of
us TO attain, and il attained that will help
us to bring souls TO God.
"FIrst-Here WAS man in communion
with COD. L believe that just as plain as
God spoke TO Philip does he speak TO men
to-day, telling them what they have to do.
"Second-Here was a man with mighty
faith. / believe this is the best example Of
faith IN the Bible. 1t seemed a preposterous
thing to send Philip away from the midst of
revival into the desert, but he did not
hesitate as he believed in God.
"Third-This is remarkable example of
obedience. His not to reason why. We
are too apt to think that when God gives
us something hard TO do something else will
do just as WE'LL but God expects us to do
just what he tells us.
''Fourth-Here was man with remark
able knowledge Of the Scriptures Did YOU
ever think that Philip would have failed
with the eunuch ii he had not been posted
in the Scriptures? j think II Is criminal
ignorance for any one to be ignorant of this
word of God. How many out Of this intelli-
gent congregation take this word of God
and use it in the conversion of souls
Oh, the shame of it; you belong TO art clubs
and literary clubs of practically a goddess
nature, and hardly know anything of this
glorious book. We are going to be called
to account for our criminal ignorance OF the
word of God.
Fifth and last-This was q man of con-
sumiug ZEAL What is the secret of human
success? l believe it is dead earnestness
IL is the men or women on fire with the
Holy Ghost that always accomplish their
purpose.
"Oh. for the people who are afraid of
nothing except disc obeying God, and who are
10 dead earnest In bringing souls to Christ.
Ii may be that some one beside you needs
the touch of God that comes from you. viii
you give it for the sake of Jesus Christ?
III To-day you say, Lord, show me what
to do ard | will do Ii. he will do one OF two
thlngs-eIther show you something for you
to do or some sin for you to get rid of.

Nc, the fire wasn't at all serious, though
Il might have been had II not been discov-
cred in the very nick of time.
But the hospital patients didn't know how
serious the contlagration was. How should
they, lying sick and helpless in their cots in
the wards?
Quickly, as soon as the real extent OF the
flames had been ascertained. a messenger
was dispatched through the wards to spread
the glad intelligence that the fire was small,
only some old shingles and oily rags that
having ignited-no one knows how-ha ad
burned one corner of the bathroom con-
nected with the polyclinic ward, which is
in the northeast wing.
AT about o'clock Yesterday morning the
flames were discovered by the druggist, who
saw the little coDfiagratton from his win
dow in the laboratory.
AT the same moment thin streak of blue
smoke began to steal softly down the long
corridor that connects the bathroom with
the polyclinic ward.
The patients, poor fellows, saw it COM
mencng, saw IL grow more and more vol
luminous, saw ii advance stealthily but
swiftly into the ward then smelt IL and
were terrified in their helplessness.
In another in slant they heard the frebells,
then the engines came and confusion relgned

had turned in fire alarm
The whole thing-the discovery, and ex-
tnguishment OF the flames-only lasted a
few moments, counted by the standard of
active. well men. but to the helpless pa
tients. who shall say how long the suspense
lasted?
Those In the polyelinic ward were re-
assured first, for they could soon see that
the fire was small and easily mastered.
But those in distant wards had to wait the
coming of the messenger. For aught they
knew meantime the entire structure might
be In imminent danger of destruction.
The firemen were prompt in responding
to the alarm. They tore off some OF the
plaster In the bathroom and exposed the
burning laths TO the hose; then it was al /
over.
