the popular pastor OF ST. johns, preached
the sermon.
sermon. which in turn was followed by
the Holy Communion.
Mr.. Goodwin read the Scriptures appro-
pirate to the ordination, ana spoke ably
and elouuently on the duties and respOn-
sibilities of those who were entering the
ministry, and of the duties Of church
members to their pastors. "By human
voice." he said. must the message OF
God be spoken unto man. The work OF
Christ must be Transmitted 70 man and
carried on. The priceless treasures of
God must be committed TO earthen yes
sells. The need for the appointment of
ministers is shown in the case of Corne-
Illus and in Saul of Tarsus The Lord
said. Go into Damascus. and there 1t Will
be told what we shall do There was a
lesson in loving those who are sent to
labor with you II you love not the min
lister, thtn rove MIN Tor the Masters
cause The man who surrendered all else
In life to labor in the Masters field needs
your support. He needs your prayers and
watchfuncss. He Is YOUR servant. but
you are not his master. He must set
the example and you should follow his
teachings The minister bears a commits
sion from God. Brethren. pray for your
pastors and your bishop"
Mr.. Goodwin spoke most feelingly OF
the solemn and responsible step the can
didates were about TO take. There was
much 10 encourage them in the grand
work which they were embracing: they
would find Encouragement. but they must
reposc every trust I'm God and persevere
and pray. 1t was altogether a discourse
admirably suited 10 the ceremonies which
were TO follow.
