LAY PRIESTHOOD
REV VIM. ROLLINS DEFINES QUAIL
 LEGATIONS.
Humanity, sympathy, Realization oi soul, Love, Christian Life, and
 Christian Deeds Are Es- sentlals.

Rev. William Rollins delivered the last of his sermons on "The Universal Priesthood" yesterday at the monday services in the Majestic Theatre before a large audience of men.
 "The first qualification of lay priest. such as every man should De, he declared, Ifs humanity. This Is the requisite of Christ's priesthood.
 'sIn the middle ages. men thought that they could best serve the world by going apart from 1t and leading ascetic lives. But they did not appre- ciate the real meaning of Christianity. which Is to mingle with all humanity and to be one with them. Otherwise how can your life, no matter how pure and noble be an appreciable influence.
 "The next qualification is sympathy. You can be of the utmost help to your neighbor, because you understand him. You have had like sorrows and temp tations.
 Then, too, a man must realize the infinite value of the human soul. In the battle of life. one is likely to for get that each has this image of God buried in him. The power of the gospel is spread about among men and is sufficient to bring out this image, no matter how deeply 1t may be buried;
 "The fourth qualification Is love- To be sure 1t Is impossible to love some
 
 have possibilities in them that we love. That Is what we all should do. That is the meaning of loving souls for Christ's sake.
 linen, again, you should show you have had Christian experience. You must live above sin and appreciate the nobility and happiness of such life. You can never give to another what you yourself have not.
 rn faaVRFAI meynGdE which every lay. priest should observe
 We must bring Christ and his work into our speech. Why can we not talk about Christian things, we talk about every thing else. There is wonder fui power in truth and the truth ex- pressed in the gospels gives you par ticular power.
 Another way to make our priest hood effective. is through our deeds Christian acts. without ostentation, will have power throughout the whole community
 Character also is a powerful means of influence. Philosophers have always shown that a man Is to be far more important than his acts. "Eet character speak louder than words You preach your most effec- tive sermons by your lives.
 "The last method is that of prayer Prayer has always been associated with priesthood. If you pray for your friends and associates. you will have a wonderful power with God and men
 "The laity should bear in mind the great privilege in being priests. If each Christian would convert one man year and that man should convert one and so on, we would bring the whole world to Christ in seven years.' The addresses for the first three days of this week. will be delivered by Rev. R. L. McCready of St. Marks Church. Louisville.

We have nothing to fear from q cut in duties. because we have the best goods.
