SENSE OF MINISTRY OF ALL THINGS

By pr Harker of First M F.. Church. Rev. Dr. Ray CIarkson Harker of the First Methodist Episcopal church de- 1ivercd an instructive, eloquent and in tcresting sermon on The Ministry of all Things" laying especial stress upon the fact that every thing serves man. Service is ministry and when the ob- iects of the inanmate and animate world serve together for the benefit and progress of all mankind, they con duet ministry for time and for eter- nifty.
 Cor. 3: 21. 9. For all things are yours; whether Paul, or Apollos, or Ce- phas, or the world. or life or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours, for we are Christs, and Christ is Gods"
 Paul here sets forth the heritage of the Christian. In what sense are all things ours? Surely not in the sense of prOprietOrship, but rather in the sense of ministry. Our theme is: The Ministry of All Things"
 All true teachers are ours. ''Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas." These were only specimens. These were the ones the Corinthians were familiar with. The spirit of the apostles state ment is that all true teachers are ours.
 "Or the world" This means the world created and sustained by our Father. It includes the providential events of life and the material things of life so far as we really need them
 Notice how all things of the world are ours in the sense of ministry. The horse draws our burdens. The dog runs our errands. The pigeon carries our

future you know not what il holds for you. Only God knows what is behind the veil. But do not become a pitiable prey to false fears. Do not let phan- tom terrors unnerve you. Let not spec ters of evil trouble you. Go not with aching head and bleeding heart be- cause of fancied ills. With tranquil trust and with serene soul face the future.
 To exhaust the words, Or things to come.' we must step beyond the portal of death into the home of the redeemed of God. Earthly things vanish like Vapors. Empires crumble. Stars burn out Soon the fires of this corporal engine will burn out. Soon the day of life will ebb to it's close. Soon the coil of mortality will break. We shall soon leave the cradle of earth and enter the larger life of eternity. At the words .or things to come. we sweep upward Here the soul must plume her pinions for lOftier flight. Here man enters upon the pathway of light with tire less wing and rises to the temple of his God. We behold the soul trfum- phant. fetterless and fall. He gIows with holy rapture. He studies a higher philosophy. Truth beauty. love and worship enchain his deathless soul Ages without a regret, cycles without a sorrow, aeons without tear roll away.
 Children of time and eternity appre- ciate your heritage. Pardon is yours Peace is yours Hope is yours, Joy is yours. Rest is yours. Life is yours Death is yours. Things present are yours. Things to come are yours. Heaven is yours. Christ is yours. God is yours. All things are yours"

messages.
 The flowers serve man. and not simp- ly for perfume and decoration, but in the thoughts they suggest and in the lessons they teach
 The minerals serve man. Not simply as material for building. or as mediums of exchange. They tell us of a God who loves beauty. The coal and copper and tin tell us of a God of providence.
 The stars serve man. They expand his mind. The pilot of the ship com municates with the cclestrial pilots of the sky and they guide him safely to his port. David looks at the sky and eXclaims: "The heavens declare the glory of God" Job beholds the heav- ems and says: He binds the sweet in- fluences of the Pleiades." Isaiah gazes at the stars and shouts: Lift up your eyes on high and behold who hath ere ated these things. that bringeth out their host by number" And when you thoughtfulIy stand under the open heavens at night your spirit seems to pant for room. The stars minister to us.
 All growth ministers to us. The bursting of a seed, the opening of q flower. the expansion of a tree all speak to us. The acorn is thrust into the earth. It's embryo quickens It bursts the Confining walls. What energy is there! It is instinct with life It is packed with power Spring rains. gentle zephyrs and summer suns speak to this plantIet and coax it upward. It reaches out it's rootlets for food Its leaves spread to catch the dews of heaven. It becomes a giant. It is an

 Six months ago this little girl in- stalled her wireless apparatus. a very large one in the kitchen of her home because it was the most convenient place and so that she could converse with her mama while she busted her self about her household duties. Her mama did the hOusework there and Alice began learning the mysteries of the complex international code which she soon mastered.
