in demand, because it is an answer to
the hunger of the human SOUL
One is amazed that an ambassador
of Christ, especially if he be an able
man, should turn from the GOSPEL to
descant upon poets and novelists, upon
makers Of philosophy or leaders of the
democracy, upon the problem of poll
Tics or the laws Of commerce. One
pities the preacher who has so despair
ed of the Bible that he depends for
message upon the last DISTINGUISHED
name in the obituary, or the last fam
ing sensation of the week, and is empty
handed II Saturday comes without a
death or scandal. Browning, it is
true; always remains last resort, and
Mazz1ni has for certain a mysterious
fascination which never fails, but there
cannot be an earthquake every week or
a hrst-rate social crime. When one
notices that a school of preachers
of to-day include within their COM
mission science, literature, the drama, and
politics, to say nothing of stranger sub
Jects, and that the only themes which
are ostracised are the necessities. the
aspirations, the trials and the hopes of the
human soul in her religious mood, then
he is tempted to be critical What is this
man thinking of who will preach on any
thing, however tedious or unpleasant but
will have nothing to do with the Evangel?
Who ordained him to teache English liter
allure or natural science? Does he really
suppose that he can deal with those sub
jects better than their experts? VIII
not this man be twice discredited, be-
cause he has travelled into another
province than his own, and because he
is stranger in it? Must he not be
twice condemned because he received
a message and refused to deliver it, be-
cause men wistfully expected that mes
sage at his hands and did not obtain
1t? There are many lecture-rooms where
one can study Wordsworth and Darwin;
many meetings where one can hear
about education and sanitation; but
there is only one Christian pulpit where
men can be warned against their sins,
and comforted in their sorrows, where
peace can be proclaimed by the cross
of Christ, and the cast-down soul con-
firmed in the hope of everlasting life.
1t is good thing that Christs minister
should be in measure a man of letters,
to appreciate the construction of the
Bible, and a student of philosophy, to
grasp the principles of religion; it is
good thing that he be in touch with life,
to know how to apply the medicine to
its wounds, and that he be a public
spirited citizen to sanctify the common
wealth by the spirit of Jesus. But his
first concern and his imperative charge
is the welfare of the human soul.
THE SPIRIT OF THE EMBASSY.
Secondly. st. Paul suggests the
spirit of the embassy, which should be
persuasive, GAS though God did beseech
you by u.s." Each department of speech
judicial, political, commercial, and
scientific-has its own characteristic
note. So has the preaching of the Cos
pei from the days of st. Paul to those
OF Mr.. Spurgeon, through long line of
preachers, with the most varied gifts
and speaking to the most diverse times.

Der that there is nothing a man knows
more clearly than his duty, and nothing
which he finds more difficult to do. 1t is not
more knowledge, but more power that hu'
manity needs, and therefore the Office
of preaching is to do more than enlight'
en- the reason or quicken the conscience,
1t is to capture the affections and to
make them the motive-power of good
ness. When man loves the best with
his whole heart, he will not wish to do
the worst. That which holds his heart
will direct his life, and therefore the
ambassador Of Christ will speak much
or love. He will be ever reminding
men under many images, and by many
crafty approaches of the sorrow Of tho

The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-11-07

st. Paul was one of those rare person
alities who have fulfilled every function
OF the highest office with equal felicity
and within a single life have presented
a complete example of the Christian
ministry. AS theologian he laid the
foundation of the science of our re-
ligion in his epistles as pastor he car
ried his converts in his heart, being
jealous over them with godly jealousy,
that he might present them a pure bride
to Christ; as a statesman he olsen
tangled the struggling Gentle Church
from the mesh of Judaism, and made it
worldwide State as an ecclesiastic
he formed the scattered little Christian
communities into an organic whole,
with a sufficient and flexible system;
and as missionary he carried the cross
of Christ with unf1inching courage into
the most hostile circumstances and pre-
sented the case for his Master with per-
suastve reason to the most alien minds.
He was also supreme in another COM
handing department of Christian SER
vice, for while many effectual preachers
have declared the Evangel, and gather
ed multitudes of souls into the king
dom Of God, it is likely that none great
er has arisen than st. Paul. And it
is certain that nowhere has been stated
in briefer compass or with more insight
the preachers duty than in this descrip-
ton sent to the Corinthian Church.
SPHERE OF THE EMBASSY
First. st. Paul defines the sphere
Of the preacher, which is religious
eve are ambassadors for Christ
His is the liberty of public speech, and
speech has been the most powerful in
strument in forming character and MAX
ing history. Brave and honest words
have been more potent than the sword
or all the treasures of gold. Those
sounds which pierce the air, and those
black marks upon the page have broken
the letters of tyranny, and beaten down
unrighteousness, and inspired with hope
despairing humanity, and opened the
vision Of heaven, amid the clouds
Of this earthly travail. Every man that
has anything true to tell, is in his de-
gree a prophet; but Christ's preacher
has not received a rowing commission
to wander up and down the universe
Of knowledge. His subject is fixed: but
the definition is not a limitation, it is
concentration. AS Christ's ambassa-
dor he must take the latitude from his
Master, and Christ concerned Himself
alone with the relation of the human
soul to Cod and all which is contained
in that fellowship. Whether in the tenn
pie or on the hillside, whether discourse

FRANK G. MANDELL DEAD

HALEY, Dec. 14.-Frank @.
Mandell, well-known in Custer
county, died at his home in this
city at 7:30 this evening after an
illness of five days. Pneumonia,
with which he was attacked
without warning, was the cause
of his death. He was about so
years of age.
The deceased was one of the
Oldest residents of this section,
having come to Wood River in
the early sos. He was mining
and civil engineer. He repre-
sented his county in the Sixth
session Of the Idaho legislature
and was well and favorably
known throughout the State. A
wife and four children survive
him, besides many friends.

FOREST RESERVES.

AS the whole region around
Challis is now in a forest re-
serve, it may be of some interest
to know the conditions that our
people must obey who desire to
get timber or Craze stock on the
reserve.
1t looks as though President
Roosevelt has gone entirely too
far when he places the whole
country in reserves, and is doing
great injustice to the people
who are effected by his reserv-
es. We rather favored the Saw
tooth reserve, because that sec
tion is almost an uninhabited
country, but when populated re-
gions, like this new addition is
created, it doing the people an
injury.
Within the next 30 days Major
Fem, forest supervisor, will Wis
it the new Lemhi and Salmon
river forest reserves and the ad-
dition to the Sawtooth reserve
for the purpose of organizing
them. These are reservations
made by the recent proclama-
tion of the President which are
under the jurisdiction of Major
Fem. He will locate stations in
the new reserves and place men
in charge.
The new Lemhi reserve con-
tains 1 1,344, 800 acres, the Salmon
river reserve ,879, 180 acres and
the addition to the Sawtooth
reserve 1892, GAO acres.
The HALEY News Miner speak
ing of the reserves, says
"E. Grandjean, of the forest
reserve service, has been in
Haley and vicinity for the past
week initiating the work of the
new extensions which went into
effect on the 9th of November,
instead of next spring as many
had supposed.
ANY person who wishes can
obtain for his own use $50 worth
of wood free each year upon the
basis of 25 cents per cord for
dead timber and so cents per
cord for green. Wood for com
mercial purposes at the same
rate. Logs for lumber at the
rate of ST.. so per thousand feet.

a TRIBUTE.

UN MEMORY EX-GOVERNOR n. HUNT, IDAHO.
GBY CLARENCE e. EDDY Custer City Dec. 9Th, 0Oel
So he is Dead our kind and constant friend;
Our gallant little Governor is gone,
How sad it seems, soon to see the end
OF fairest hopes we set our hearts upon;
But he is beckoned to a brighter dawn
He bravely won but modestly he wore
A victors laures from full many fight
Glory of guns and the red cannon's
We're less to him than friendships peaceful light,
So Love and Friendship wreathe his brow tonight
knew him well through many changing year
His letters came, saw him now and then;
Always the same-serene and of good cheer
AS who truly loves his fellow men;
But Death has stilled that noble voice and pen
Had I, perchance, some printed message read
Saying that life had ended thus for
1t would not seem so strange as that which said
So sadly and suddenly that he,
So we'll beloved of all had ceased to be.
We weep for him. for tears not in vain,
But tokens of the tribute that we pay
To whose life not for selfish gain.
He was hero of this modern day,
His works shall live though he has passed away
What lies beyond the grave we cannot tell
But Hope it's balm of healing still doth bring,
And though in tears say farewell,
Faith hears the rustic of an Angels wing
God of the Ages still to Thee cling.
And so we say to this noble soul we knew
Shall never de-he is not dead but gone
Beyond the veil of our weak mortal view,
Where lie the vistas of immortal dawn
Awake Oh, weeping hearts and still hope

died at his home on Salmon riv-
er, about 10 miles from Challis,
on Sunday morning, Dec. 10th,
1906, and whose funeral was held
in this city on the following
Tuesday afternoon, was born on
Sept. 10th, 1885, in Harrison
county, Indiana, and emigrated
at the age of 16 years with his
father to Ballard county, Ken
lucky. Here he married Mary
Ransdell. This union bore
