Hemingway, ID. D., of Camden, ~ j.,
and the Rev. George Handy Wales,
of Philadelphia, occupied seats IN the
pulpit.
DR.. Hemingway preached the SER
mon from the text Act 5:20-"Go
stand and speak in the temple to the
people all the words of this life " Dr.
Keigwin stated, in part, that God had
put transcendant message into
mems lives, by giving them an op-
pOrtunity to speak words of life to
His people. AS to the man who says
that religion is a theory, Dr.. Heming-
way said he has no authority for
making such a statement, and il is
proof that his life has not been
touched by the gospel. The speaker
said the life of the church should be
such that il stand as a living exam
pie TO all skeptics of the power of
religion The church of Christ is
Gods mouthpiece to mankind, and it
= is the church's duty to stand just
as steadfast today as I'm the days OF
the disciples.
Dr. Keigwin i'm delivering the
charge to the people dwelt upon per-
s0nal work. and said that an obscure
Sunday School teacher could often
do more toward uplifting humanity
than the whole police system Of a
city, and that the church does more
to protect manhood and wOmanhoOd
than all the laws and statesmen Of
the country 1T is the churchs
message" said Dr. Keigwin, ito preach
the message of Jesus, and uphold but
one personality"
The usual constitutional questions
were propounded by the Rev Josiah
H. Crawford, and were answered by
Dr. Smiley, standing, members of the
congregation raising their right hands.
The charge to the pastor was deliver
ed by the Rev. George Handy Wales.
Dr. Wales extended COngratula-
tions to the pastor in his new charge,
and told him first of all to preach the
word. and TO preach it in such a way
that it would be inspiring. He also
charged the pastor TO shepherd his
flock we'll; and to take heed unto HIM
self, because as he said, you cannot
do the best for others, unless you are
at the best yourself"
After the congregational singing Of
''All Hail the Power OF Jesus Name"
the benediction was pronounced by
Dr. Smiley.
