RESPONSIBILITY OF LAYMEN.
Subject Of Sermon Delivered at As
sembly's Presbyterian Church.

- = ASSSy SSAANAA SAoASA
In an address at the Presbyterian evan
gelistic service held in the Assembly's
Church, corner of 9Th and I streets, last
night, Rev. Donald Macleod declared that
the most promising sign Of the times for
Christianity Is the fact that Christian lay
men are beginning to realize that 1t is the
duty of every member of the church to be
preacher of the word. The responsibility
of laymen was the subject of DR.. Macleod's
talk, which was based on Revelations, 22d
chapter, 18th verse: Let him that heareth
say come" He was listened to by the
largest congregation which has yet at
tended the series of meetings being held at
the Assembly's Church and his remarks
produced a deep impression upon the people
who heard him.
1T has not been long since the ordained
minister was considered the only person
fitted to preach Biblical truth, and the only
duty of church members to sit passively
in the pews and lfsten," said DR.. Macleod
THAT idea is being rapidly dissipated, al
though 1t appears still to be hard for a
good many people to get away from the
idea that preaching is the ministry of the
few.
''Laymen have appreciated and grasped
their opportunities to such an extent, how
ever, that they are now doing the most eff
fective preaching of the Gospel. Since they
have assumed an active and aggressive at
titude the triumphs ofthe church have been
greater than in all its previous history
DIR. Macleod cited the success Of the local
Y. M. c. A. meetings for men On Sunday
afternoons as an example of the effect Of
the work of laymen. 1T was when laymen
addressed the men at these meetings, he
said, that the greatest interest had been
aroused and the greatest good done.
I'VE are our brothers keeper" DR.. Mac
leod declared land it is because of the in
creasing realization of this fact that the
power of the church is constantly increas-
ing and will finally spread to every corner
of the world"

cavations of 1904 in the Roman Forum"
| was the subject of lecture delivered yes

the peculiar interest which attaches to the
Roman Forum at all times. he called at
tention to some striking condolences be-
tween the work of exploration there and
| the history of modern nations.
In opening his lecture Professor Egbert
expressed the hope that the way in which
his subject was stated might not give any
one the impression that Augustus Altar Of
Peace was located in the Roman Forum,
because 1t was, in fact, about a mile away
| from it. He then went on to give the his
| tory Of the altar and its excavation, indi-
eating the share which various persons
had taken in the work and telling how
widely fragments from the altar had be-
come scattered among the museums of
Europe. With the aid of number of ster-
eopticon slides he described the location,
plan and probable appearance OF the orig
| inai structure, which included not only
| the altar itself, but also the sacred in
closure surrounding it; and showed many
of the details of the ornamentation, ex-
planning its symbolism and stating the
various theories as to the persons repre-
sented in the reliefs. In conclusion, sew
eral views were thrown upon the screen
illustrating recent explorations in the
Roman Forum, including photograph Of
one of the most important of the recent
discoveries, the site of the famous Lacus
Curtius.
After the lecture manv Of the audience
went forward to the platform in order to
be introduced to Professor Egbert, and to
