Relations Of the Minister and Con-
grcgntIOn to One Another.

Relations Of the Minister and Con-
gregntiOn to One Another.
Between n minister and his congre-
ton there are an action and a reaction,
so that the minister makes the congre-
gation. and the congregation makes the
minister. When one speaks of a minis
tcrs service to his people, one is not
thinking Oh pew rents, and o1ertories,
and statistics. and crowds, nor Of
schools, and guilds. and classes, and
lectures. The master achievement Of
the minister is to form character and
to make men. The chief question.
therefore, to consider about a minis
ter's work is, What kind Of men has
he made?
And one at least of the most decisive
questions by which the members Of a
congregation can be judged is, What
have they made of their minister? BY
that one does not mean what salary
they may give him. nor how agreeable
they may be to him. but how far he
has bccomea man and risen tohis height
in the atmosphere of his congregation.
Some congregations have ruined
ministers by haraSSing them till they
lost heart and self control and became
peevish and i'll tempered. Some con
gregationS. again. have ruined min
listers by so humOring and pctting them
that they could endure no contradic-
zion and became childish. That congre-
CATION has done its duty most effective
ly which has created an atmosphere so
genial and yet so bracing that every
good in It's minister has been fostered
and everything petty killed.-Ian Mac
laren in Ladies' Home Journal.

4 simple but novel ceremony occur
red at MillcrSyillc. Pa. recently. A
great multitude of people assembled at
the old Mennonite meeting house to
witness the choice Of a bishop by lot.
There was a large number Of Men
monte preachers present. and four Of
their number were candidates for the
exalted office. The method Of choice
was unique. although it is in common
use among the MennOnites. After q
season of fcryent prayer for divine
direction the four candidates were
called forward. and four Bibles exactly
similar in size and binding were placed
before them. Under the fly leaf of one
of these Bibles a piece of blank paper
had been placed. The Bibles had been
thoroughly mixed up. and the can
didates were then invited to make their
selection.
The successful candidate was Rev.
Abram Herr. who was thereupon de-
clared to be bishop and was mmedi-
ately ordained The new bishop is a
descendant Of Hans Herr, the leader Of
one Of the first parties Of pioneer Men
nonites who settled in eastern Pennsyl
vania nearly 200 years ago.-Christlan

ROMANCE IN ALBANY.

woman left her pretty home III the Mo-

her to the grocery store to buy the days

morning, 1t was then that she first
saw and unconsciOusly gave her heart
to the clerk, who is the principal
subject of this story. On succeeding
days she willingly did the marketing

ress was she making in her acquaint-
ance with the clerk. He wasn't SLOW
either. 10y the way.
But shortly there was an occurrence
that put final stop TO the Irritation
The Amsterdam maid went to the store
as usual and ordered two pounds OF
sugar. The sugar was weighed and put
in bag Now, in this store, hanging
above the counter, was ball OF twine
with a spring attachment so that
when one let 90 of the Irvine the end
flew up ont of the way. The clerk tied
the sugar and bit the string off with
his teeth. which were Of the purchas-
able variety. The string stuck in them.
and. when it flew back, out came the
teeth.
Imagine the spectacle. There were
those pearly grinders that made the
mouth of the clerk so beautiful to the
susceptible maiden, dangling there in
full view of every one in the store. The
young man blushed. and the young
woman took her sugar and departed.
