NEW CASTLE, Oct. 1.-THE Rev.
Alden c. Richey, D. D., the new rec
tor Of Emmanuel P. E. Church, took
charge of the services In the church
yesterday morning and preached his
first sermon to a large congregation.
After the reading of the church no
tees, DR.. Richey spoke few words
to the congregation, thanking them
for the gifts he found in the rectory
the first day he went into it, and he
extended the hospitality of the rec
tory to each individual member. The
subject Of his sermon, taken from the
second epistle of st. Paul to the Cor
inthians, 9th Chapter, first verse, was,
I'VE then, as workers with him, be-
seech you also that We receive not the
grace of God in vain"
DR.. Richey said in part: I'VE are
here to work and here to work with
Cod We all know we are here to
work, but few realie that we are here
to work with God. Jesus Christ first
taught the dignity of work. His bless
ing is on al work and his ban is on all
idleness. 1t takes away all thought of
drudgery to know that our work
has a holy purpose. Work for God is
on higher, holier aim than any work
for ourselves could possibly be. Re-
ligion is not the salvation of our own
souls. Gods business is the curing of
all sin and evil in the world, and he
is looking for big business from us.
The readjustment of sordid world is
our business. / want TO remind you
of the masters call. Go work today
in my vineyard Cooperation and not
competition is the watchword of to-
day. Men refuse, and rightly refuse
to believe that God is responsible for
existing conditions today. He doesn
want the sweatshop and other evils
and he wants us to remedy them. Re-
ligion like business, must be arrang-
ed on the cooperative plan, or II is
a failure We hear a good deal now
about efficiency in business to prevent
waste, and to keep things going
smoothly. The same applies to church
work, and ! must have the hearty CO.
operation of the people in this vener-
able parish of New Castle to make my
work here efficient Let us all realize
what it means to be workers with God
To drive back the WEAKNESS in this
world, to help the erring brother and
sister who, in moment Of tempta-
tion, have strayed from the right
path; to cheer the sorrowlng and in
every way possible TO do the masters
work here on earth"
