Pointers For the Pulpit.

A preacher is a man called of God
and commissioned by the church to
preach the gospel.
In these days it is understood that
in addition to being called of God
and commissioned by the church the
mar thus authorized should seek and
secure at least a fair literary and the
illogical education. But experience
has long since demonstrated that
quite a number well qualified in both
a literary and theological sense,
make a sad failure as ministers. This
raises the question, why do they fail?
1t may be lack of enduement of
power from on high" lack of cor
secration, lack of adaptation TO the
peculiar requirements of the calling,
and so on.
1t is not the purpose here to point
out causes of failure in the ministry,
but to call attention to a few things
which go a good distance in the di-
rection of insuring and securing sue
cess for preachers. They are as fol-
lows:
1. Thorough knowledge of the
Bible.
2. The study of human nature.
8. Genuine interest in the welfare
of the people.
4. Kindly, gentlemanly behavior.
5. Intelligent, sensibly directed in
dustry.
6. The exercise of practical COM
mon sense, both in and out of the
pulpit.
Z. Preaching out of a full soul, d.
rect to the hearts and consciences of
the people.
s. Having the good sense to quit
before exhausting the peoples pa
thence.
9. Being manly, candid. heroic and
faithful in the discharge of duty.
10. A desire to please rather than
offend, and yet care to avoid being
a time server or an inordinate W.
of popularity.
IL. Being far more anxious to win
men to Christ than to secure from
them a large salary and big dona-
tions; and yet, being frank enough
and manly enough to insist upon re-
ceiving a respectable salary.
II. Moral uprightness in daily life.
the demeanor being such that the
people involuntarily eXclaim: Truly
he is a godly man - he practices
what he breaches.
IS. Complete devotion of soul,
body and spirit to the n sacred
calling. Paul was phenomenally a
| successful preacher because his motto
was: This one thing 1 do."-Relig-
ious Telescope,

Death of Hugh G. Holmes.

Hugh G. Holmes, eighty-six years

ceived from a fall. He sustained a

sengers and freight transported the
members of the Bellville Military So
ciety in war times to it's parade
grounds. After the war closed ne
forwarded his bill to the Government

ceeded in collecting it. Mr.. Holmes
vas a large property owner in Belle
vile, and always took a keen interest

The Great Lesson of Life.

What a vast proportion of our lives
is spent in anxious and useless fore
bodings concerning the future-eith-
err our own or those of our dear
ones. Present joys, present bless
ings slip by and we miss half their
favor, and all for want of faith in
Him who provides for the tiniest
sunbeam.
Oh, when shall we learn the sweet
trust in God that our little children
show us every day by their con6ding
faith in us? We, who are SO muta-
BILE, so faulty, so irritable, so unjust:
and He who is so watchful, so pitt
full, so loving, so forgiying? Why
can not we, slipping u hand into
His every day, walk trustingly over
that days appointed path, thorny or
fiowery, crooked or straight, know
ing that evening will bring us sleep.

and hurled to one side, and the wagon
and Sherman were carried along on
the front of the engine for nearly half
a mile before the engineer could stop
