Matthew CO.'S: THE Son OF Man came

You will observe in these definitions GER
tain negative facts. We remove these
negatives in order that We may get a
clear conception of the positive clements
of our mission. John and Mark say:
Game not to Judge the world. not to call
the righteous" That is, Christ says; My
work is constructive rather than destruc-
tive. l am the way, the truth and the life;
I do not sit in harsh judgment on your
is now the judge. / am not come to judge
but to save" So He says to us, Judge
not-but preach. proclaim, live, work, for
the night is coming" Yet, simple as this
lesson is, it seems to be one of the hard
est for US as workers and churches to
learn. Yes, all of us, from the little mis-
sion church. up to the great stone pile on
the corner of the avenue, are more or less
impregnated with the idea that we are
here to get, rather than to give. That We
are here to collcct-to hoard up all the
good We can of the world, rather than to
give out to struggling. dying sinners
health warmth and light and life and
strength and love-and so help God make
this world better. Again. Christ says:
THE Son OF Man came not to be served,
but to serve" and yet. the majority Of
people seem to think they are to be served;
to that church two months ago, and no.
body has been to see me, or has shown me
any attention-or any consideration as
though they were here to receive attention,
to be called upon, to be nursed-such peo-
pie are excellent adherents of the church.
The Lord save the church from adherents;
all that is necessary is enough Of them,
and. like mighty Cunarder that plows
through the waves, when enough adherents
become attached to her sides, she will sink.
We are here to serve not to be served-
sympathy, tenderness. helpfulness sery-
Ice and love are the words that should
spell themselves out in every active life
So much for the negative side of our mis-
sion. The remaining elements in these
definitions are positive. The first is 1.-THE

he who soon thereafter became President
of the United States.
The first vestry organization was In 1I44;
it's action recognized in 1747. This vestry
was dissolved by act of general assembly
in 1850. The church thus losing Its con-
nection with the state. its vestry organiza-
ton became purely ecclesiastical. Prior to
this, one part of their work and Office was
to be overseers of the poor.
During this colonial period. from 1144 to
1850, the names of the ministers in charge
of the big Frederick parish were, first Rev.
record, between 1744. when he began his
work here, and it's close, with the coming
in of Rev. Mr.. Meldrow, whose work ended
in 1765. He was succeeded by Rev. Mr..
Sebastian, from 1865 to 176S Succeeding
him was Rev. Dr. Thurston, who entered
the army Of 1777-Col. Thurston of the revo-
luton. He did not return to the work OF
the ministry when the war was termina ted.

elected. He continued his work here for
the next thi rty years. to the year 1921. He
was a man of varied experience and was
a native of Scotland. When he first came
to this country it was as tutor in the fam
lily of Richard Henry Lee. His main pur-
pose was to enter the Presbyterian minis
try, but he decided to be an Episcopalian.
He was chaplain in the American army
during the revolution.
The present pastor is Rev. William D.
Smith. Although here less than a year, he
has succeeded in having erected in Christ
Church a $4,000 pipe organ, which is said
to be the largest and most magnificent in
strument Of the kind in the valley of Vir-
ginia. 1t has just been completed and was
used this week at brilliant wedding for
the first time. the performer on that occa-
sion being Mr.. Harry Roe Shelly Of New
York, who gained international fame as an
organist by his performances on the great
organ at the st. Louis Exposition.

Prom the Detroit Free Press
Edward Morris Brigham of Battle Creek,
Mich. the well-known South American
traveller. has the only specimen in this coun-
try of a rare bird that has attracted much
attention among scientific men because it
has four feet.
Its scientific name is Opisthocoma cris-

eigana GYPSY.
II is so contrary to the accepted order of
things that a bird should have four feet
that the discovery of this quadruped bird
vas a surprise TO the scientific men. Mr..
Brigham's specimens are preserved in al
cOhol.
Mr. Brigham found these birds in 1885,
80 while making chronological studies in
the interior of the great island of Marajo
At the mouth of the Amazon river.
