ANNIVERSARY SERMON
Preached BY Rev. Or. Cushman at
First UnIversaiist Church.
"Soms Conclusions From The Ministry" The
Subject Of Ills Discourse.

Rev. III. l. Cushman, ID. d.. pastor OF
the First Universalist church, yester-
day morning preached an anniversary
sermon ON Some Conclusions From
This Ministry" I'm which he spoke OF
deductions from his long pastorate. He
said In part:
When people go to church nova
days ! believe they wapt not science,
not phlosophy--not anything but the
authoritative divine message from one
who believes Il. My second conclu-
sion Is that the Christian message OF
The changeless love OF God is reliable.
This message does not need my sane
tion, out many people who have not the
same opportunity 10 examine into these
deeper matters of spiritual love do
need my assurance and the assurances
OF the ministry at large. From my
study OF Christian history. and from
my experience with Pen and women. l
am an optimist.
Yet another conclusion is that the
ultimate measure OF successes I'm life
are spiritual. recognize with Joy sue
cess in all directions-in business. in
learning, in art, in music-everywher
but the ultimate success I'm life is that
which is wrought into the character OF
men and women. In estimating. there
fore, what constitutes success. the ulti-
mate measures must be this. enduring
measures. My fourth conclusion Is
that human relationships are means
toward establishing the durable spirit
ual relations of heaven. j think OF the
family. of the church. and OF the state
as divine institutions So far as life
here lis concerned, they are ends. We
seek, therefore, 10 preserve to purify
the family. 10 beautify the church. and
the good order OF the state, chiefly be-
cause these Institutions are means
toward establishing a more enduring
spiritual relationship.
Finally the church. which keeps
nearest TO these spiritual lines. will be
the most efficient ministry, and the
church of the new century I know not
what the name will be upon the BAN
rier of ghat church. IL may not be any
one OF the denominational names borne
by the churches OF today. but one name
VIII be there. and that will be the name
of Christ"
