priesthood.
"There are certain characteristics
that priest must possess. The first
requisite for priest, is that he be
pure. 7 want my 'go-between' to be
purer than myself The attitude of
man to God, is the same attitude
child bears to the parent. 1t Is also es-
sential that q priest be sympathetic.
sympathy lends eloquence to the
tongue, and want not priest whom
the story of my needs will not touch.
The third thing of Importance is abil-
ity. l must be sure of the ability of my
priest, and have the utmost confidence
in him when lie intercedes in my be-
half. Lastly, it is necessary that he
has the proper authority. He must
have more than the mere assertion of
priestly qualities. Too many priests
are self-constitiIted. 1t is necessary
that a priest he endorsed by both God
and nah, and Unless lie is SO endorsed,
he can not act With power and efficacy
in the world. The world has been won
derfully short aof such priests. We do
not find purity, or great amount of
sympathy. We do not find ability, in
which we could place implicit conf
dence. There is but one priest today,
if the Bible tells the truth. That priest
is Jesus Christ He Is the 'go,between'
between man and God. He is priest
without predecessor, without assist
ance, and He will have no successor,
for He abideth forever, as Gods chosen
priest to plead with the characters Of
men.
"For 1000 years, the searchlight of
time has been turned on Jesus, but no
blemish has been revealed. He lived
among men, but His life was so pure
that it lowered above humanity, as the
heavens tower above the earth. 1t
was as immaculate in it's purity, as the
newly drifted snow. He was as SYM
pathetic as mother, and on the cross,
His first words were, Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they do
In ability he transcendeth every thing,
the world has ever seen.
while we have advanced along ev-
cry line in the past 1000 years, there is
not one single thing that Jesus said
that has been improved.
''God has placed on Him His author
ity. 1t is now necessary that you and
/ place our authority on Him. Until
the authority of God and man unite,
Jesus Christ can not become the High
Priest of the world. 1t is necessary
for priest to have an offering, and
when Jesus offered His own hearts
blood for the sake of humanity and
stretched himself on Calvary's cross,
He made an Offering which can not
be surpassed by all the future ages,
Today / present Him to you as your
Priest. He is pure; Hc is sympathetic;
He has the ability; He bears the au-
thority of God. / plead with you to
endorse Him and be reconciled to
God"
At the conclusion of the services,
Rev. Slayter said it was not necessary
for him to make any speech at the out
set of his pastorate in this city. 81 am
not hero to fill Rev. Tannar's place."
said he, ''but to fill my own place. BY
working together and overlooking each
others shortcomings and striving to-
help each other, God will bless our
work."
