of Jesus a new vocation was created. /
The world had been cursed with manj |
priesthoods, all empty and vain until
the coming of the great high priest
himself 1t was the Master who first
used the word and the term which
Paul used, meaning caretaker, and it
was the same which Jesus used when
he said that the first among men
should be the servant of all.
The minister's part is to know the
practice of truth and to declare truth.
In view of the burdens which devolve
upon the ministry st. Paul might have
said: If any man seeketh the ministry
he desireth a hard thing. There is a
vast difference between knowing the
things of the spirit and knowing ma
terial things The life of the phys-
clan is as hard as that of the minister
but the demand made upon each is in.
comparable. The physician deals with
concrete cases. 1t is a glorious pro
fession, one which awakens every fibre
of nerve in man but it is not as eX-
haustive as the ministry. He who
would know the truth must enter into
the inner realm and look for things
hard to be found. And then it is
much easier to theorize about truth
) than to live truth and man can only
speak of it as he has experienced it.
1t is easy to reason about dogma but
very difficult so to live a spiritual eX.
perience that you can make it real to
men and women,
in the early days it was hard be-
cause the man who declared himself
minister was met by the civil au-
| thorities of Rome, was saturated with
oil, placed upon a pedestal and burned
to light the feasts of the tyrant Nero.
And in this age, too, it is hard because
with the insistence of business and So
cial life it is hard to get in a word
unless it is inspired There is the
competition of the press and of ephe-
neral literature and there is a wealth
of demands upon the pastors time and
energy. His study is an employment

vent divorce, visit poor fellows in Jail

His face must always reflect the sun

1T used to be said that there were
three seXes-men, women and priests
and even now men seem to regard
the minister as a somewhat differen
species They do not swear before
the parson and when they meet hin

reading by the minister and congre-
cation, was preceded by the reading
of the one hundred and twenty second
psalm by Rev. John F. Cowan, d. D.,
of the Kohala Union church, followed
by the minister's prayer of dedica-
ton, which was as follows:
I'VE come to Thee with love in our
hearts. to ask for the great goodness
that is in Thy hand and Thy blessing
in the morning and in the evening
Our Father and God, inspire us in
every good thing and bless us as we
dedicate this house to prayer and Thy
worship.
For the members of this church
and of this council striving, in bust
ness and pleasure, in work and sor-
row, to serve Thee, pour out Thy
spirit and blessing. So many good
things have been granted us. May
we find the best in love and friendship
and may many find comfort and in
spiration and be brought closer TO-
gether because of this house. Put
Thy blessing upon this house, guide
all and keep all. Let this day be one
in which we reconsecrate ourselves
to the service of Almighty God. In
the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Rev. Collins G.. Burnham of Lahai.
ma, a fellow missionary with Mr.
Dodge on Maui, had prepared dedi-
catory hymn to the tune of Beatitude
which was sung by congregation and
choir. These are the verses:
In witness of our Christian faith,
This house of prayer we raise;
And dedicate it, Lord, to Thee
In joy, and love, and praise.
AS here in love shall be proclaimed
The message of Thy word;
With Joy and swift obedience
Be that glad message heard.
When in the cloud of doubt we come
And for the light do yearn,
Dear Master, may we at Thy feet
The truth and light discern.
While here before Thee, Lord, w
make
In penitence our plea;
In boundless love Thy mercy grant
Our hearts from sin set free.
AS we this earthly house have bull
And consecrate to Thee;
o build us, Lord, as living stones
Thy holy house to be.
Praise to Thee, Father, for Thy love
Praise for Thy Son, who died,
And for Thy spirit by whose grac
Thy church is sanctihed.
The dedicatory sermon, preached b
DR. Doremus Scduder, was rather
manly and human talk upon the wor
of the ministry than a formal sermon
without the preface of text DR.. Scuc

Cotton News vs. Political News.

The Monroe Enquirer has a way of
going straight to the issue without
wasting any words. And here's the
way it says things:
And now King Cotton comes to
the front. More interesting will be
the items about cotton, its condition
quality and price than all the reports
from political conventions, all the re-
turns from elections and the wrang-
lings OF politicias."
Teh Enquirer is everlastingly right
in its comparison. Not only the
Southern farmer but the entire bust
ness interests Of the South are more
interested in cotton news than poll
teal news. And this reminds us again
that the American farmer has less
reason to get excited over party ma
chine poiitics than any other class of
people. His interests are not Sc
riously considered in the great game
Of politics that is being pulled off this
year. The political platforms scarcely
refer To agricultural interests at all.
