At 8 o'clock Monday morning John Hen
~ Douglas and Lindley A Wells, in the
meeting on ministry and oversight ex-
horted and encouraged the workers Of the
church.
"A live church and live ministers are
! continually meeting difficulties. a dead
church has none. The important thing
for the ministry to do IS to stick close to
the word. The minister of Christ is IN
Christ. The church has its responsible
tiles as well as the minister. and can pray
a good sermon out of a very poor min
lister. Stand by the minister in raising
the standard. Some qlakers seem to think
If the pay $3.50 for the support Of the
minister they own him, body, soul, and
mouth and all. Don't allow yourself to
be muzzled. Don't sell yourself. The
hope Of the church today is to stick to
intensely spiritual lines. The best cure
for new theology and higher criticism is
the baptism OF the Holy Ghost. Every
Sermon ought to be an issue. The life Of
a nelder ought to be an issue in the COM
munity"
