 Points From Bishops Address.
 q am going to hold on to the funda- mental verities, because I know that they cannot be disturbed Yet, I am go- ing to have all the windows of my mind hosptable to truth, and l don't care from what source 1t comes.
 T tried to get a friend of mine to write an article on John Wesley, a Higher Critic He anticipated by 100 years the scholarship of today and he had the chivalric courage of a knight of the mid dle ages After all this scholarship, the first thing is this, most intimate acquaint- ance with God. We want to know that you are growing and strengthening.
 "Cultlvate your own spiritual virtues ministers can backslide as well as anybody else Strive to be a faithful minister of the New Testament.
 "You can keep the enthusiasm and optimism of youth. The reason youth Is so attractive is because it Is so hopeful. Christianity is triumph 1t Is victory, 1t Is progress, it is elastic and imperious. I don't want a religion that has not in 1t the thunder tones of triumph.
 If you've got any doubts, keep them to yourself; other people have all they can bear. Don't be afraid of being too religious. The holiness movement was born of an earnest desire for better things, but unfortunately 1t fell into the hands of people who were not wise
 'sThere ought to be some sacred secrets between the soul and God There Is talk In the pulpit and in the class meeting. born not of the Spirit of Christ. Don't talk too much about yourselves; 1t Is dangerous.
 1.-The man that thinks less about where he Is going Is the man that gets the most ont of his appointment. The only way to get to a better place ,s 70 have con- spicuous success where you have been When men look for picked men they go to places where men are employed and contentedly employed.
 identify yourself with your people, the very moment our appointment Is read out. Don't talk to your people about how some other people do where you have been If you are always talking to your wife about how your mother used to do, if won't be long till your wife will wish won never had mother. When you move, you move; and don't write too many let ters back. Let your successor have fair chance.
 q do not believe in the theory that you are to find out the natural bent or A boys mind and specialize that. l be- lieve in a broad-gauge training ana educa- ton, and then specialize.
 Address Greatly Enjoyed.
