The fourth address in the pastoral course
OF lectures delivered by various cergymen
at the chapel of the Bangor Theological
seminary was given on Thursday evening,
| Feb. 18th, by Rev. Rolin T. Hack, pastor of
the Second Congregational church in Port
| land.
After short opening services Mr.. Hack
was introduced by Prof. DEMO. His sub
Ject, like the other lectures in the course,
was the Elements of Success in the Chris
| "
to be successful minister man must be
man in the fullest sense of the word He
must not only be clergyman but he must
| be man who lives the life of a man in the
best and most honorable way.
He must by his daily life and work set an
example for his people who must know him
as man before they can appreciate his
work as minister. The minister, said Mr..
Hack, must be a man of God, and do his
work as Jesus did it, not using his church
as an end but as a means. The exterior
part OF the work, which shows in the year
' book, is not an indication of success, it is
merely an indication of material prosperity
and has little to do with the real labor
/ which minister must perform.
| Mr.. Hack particularly emphasized this
point and made it clear that without an
underlying love for God and the teaching of
Jesus Christ, no man could hope for success
IN the Christian ministry. He said that
minister should know the Bible better than
| anybody else and better than any other
| book.
Another point which Mr.. Hack made
prominent in his address was the adaptibil-
| lty OF minister to men. He said that men
| were so brutal and so selfish many times that
! 1t was hard for good man not to learn to
| despise mankind but that this spirit of in
| liberation was fatal to success. A minister
must learn to love men for what they are
| and try to make them and the world better,
| not by teaching, not through teaching fear,
but through the conviction of righteousness.
MIR. Hacks address was most interesting
TO the many people present and was one Of
| much profit not only to the students to
whom it was given but to all who heard it.
The next lecture in the course will be on
Feb. q by Rev. A. H. Wright and the next
on March will be by Rev. Norman McKin-
non OF Augusta Bangor Commercial.
