First Baptist Church.
(Rev. Kanarr, pastor)


 The Model Minister" was the morn Ing subject. There are var. ous names given to the different types of preach CTS, such as: The Successful Preacher" "Tae Popular Preacher. The Eyangelistie Preacher" 'Tha Plodding Preacher" ''The LiberaA Preacher The Doctrinal Preacher. .'- "The Institutional Preacher" The Model Preacher ifS perhaps. a happs combination Of these various types.
 First-He Is @ man. No a woman. A woman may have the ability bu- not the commission. Women assisteu Paul, but never tcok his place They make good mission2 ries, but not or dained ministers Of Jesus Christ in settled pastorates. in tae old Key stone state a few years ago. a eu- pastors wife did the preaching and he washed the disfes anl cared Fer the babies. It seemed in congruous
 Second-He is 9 pastor The min ister should feel at home in every nome. All people. iich or LOOT. esiu cated or iiitcrlte, Wife CT biaek should receive 9 kindly welcome anc- fraternai greeting. Visit the sici> In their suffering, tie poo. n theii poverty and he bereaVed in their ar ficuons. Air. Chalmers said that "a honse-going minister makes church going people. Pulpit work needs much polish 'as in these days of gen eral criticism. but many souls ar, touched and saved that have not been reached by the pubic message. Pas toral work is cf vital importance. Call Ing on all classes and conditions Oi pecEle trains the heart and gives ten der eloouenCe ds well as timely thoughts for the pulpit. A few year ago when Charles Wagner wkas a6- dressing q mass meeting n the sIums Of New YorE city he said; Wren [ lcok at ycu l sec q page in every face and in some faces a whole book, and ] would rather read it than I would any book in the world"
 Third-He is a preacher. Moral goodness will not suffice. Tameness should not be tolerated. The mes sage ought to excite the minister as well as the member. cold. dull pulpit will make . like pew. When Dr. Albert Barnes was asked who was the best preacher he had ever heard repi ed. 'i cannot answer your uues- ten eVactly: but the greatest speci- men Of prea cling 1 ever heard was by Rev. Edward W. Kirk. before my congregation, during a reVsal n produced tremendous effect" Mir hlrk was very ordinary man in genius and scholarship but his love for Jesus and for lost souls kept his whole being constantly on fire. An essay reader is not considered in our theme. Any one can read sermon. The Word mast be preached; nos history, philosophy and science. Divine justice. as well as Gods love. should be presented. None of the Book ought to be neglected. It takes both love and courage to send the truth home in a cOnyicting manner. "Thou art the man aind of preaching is necessary to awaken some sinners. The Lake Of Fire" for the devil and h-s followers will be as real as the New Jerusai"I' and the many mar. sions' for the children of God. Tn. minister, too, must be lifetime student Of men, nature. books, and the Bible
 Fourth-He has tact. Execution oratory. philosophy, scholarship. pietv anu cA4racter will not well succeedF without tact In shallow water one. can expect suass, stumps and stones sal around them. The mean. trouble some people are not all out of the church. An occasional one gets i,y side and brings all of his carnaIity with him. Treat such with lots ,n grace and grit we'll tempered with tact
 tIIth.-A winner of souls. The model minister reafizes that his uis sion is two perfectfug tlra saints and winning souls to Christ. The chief object Of his daily and weekly messages, from fife and lips. should be to save men. Filled with the Holy Chest and burning passion for lost soHS, with nrossage afire with the breath of the Spirit, the model min ister will see souls born into tte king dom of God. Peter, Paul. WesIev. F7nney, Sturgeon and Moody wery. excellent examples. The Lord heIry us all to be more faithful.
