He is not to deliver lectures on ethics,
or philosophy, or sociology. He is to
preach the Word, to declare it, to ex-
plain it, and to enforce it with every re-
source at his command.
sSome young minister recently preached
on the Trinity. The of his dis
course was that God was conscious of
Himself: He was conscious of the not
Self: there was, therefore, God, who was
not God, Gods consciousness-the
Trinity.
"a critic not long since remarked that
in almost every sermon he heard there
was a freuent repetition of the words,
I think as if the preachers u~tterances
were chiefly the presentation of his own
opinions. What the minister needs, and
what the times need, is more of the as
surance of the prophets of old, who pro-
claimed the truth of God, and could pre-
face their sermons with a Thus saith
the Lord

ssThere certainly is great danger that the
minister shall lose his first conservation

conservation, hi feels ready for any sac
riice, eager for any service, seeking his
ioy in the Masters glory and his reward
only In the Masters smile. But there is
a certain routine in hts work; a certain
ro1nd of duties; there is danger that
gradually ne should lose the sense of his
divine ambassadorship, and become a SUI
nerintendent Or manager of an institu-
ton. Our mercantile age ranks him with
the managers of secular institutions,

1t was then he got his first glimpse OF
art and artists east of the mountains,
which up to that time had confined him
to Ohio.
Mr.. Fitch was very deaf and consequently
was a man with wealth OF time. His
beautiful art left little opportunity for
worry over his affiiction. His pictures were
constructed like a coral reef. There was
no white heat of genius that does things
with one grand burning whirl, but 1t was
methodical, careful, and exact, done with
smart brushes He knew precisely what he
wished to do and that it must take time, and
he worked on with enjoyment, Indifferent to
the flight of days, as il he had been some
old cloistered monk, Illuminating a missal.
Mr. Fitch was national academieian, re-
spected by his fellows, but not widely
known. Other men we're. in his time, ap-
plauded for their mediocre things, enjoy
ing a prosperity American art has not
known perhaps before or since. They
painted pretty landscapes, which one dare
not speak well of now. Fitch's reputation
is growing-one often hears his work spok-
en- Of with positive admiration, for he loved
trees. and painted truthful portraits OF them
and the public never tires Of trees-real
trees-or good pictures Of them.
