Divine Mission.
Mr.. Burgess took for his theme,
1.-THE Ministers Divine Mission and
Responsibility" In beginning he said,
that mans responsibility is in proper
ton to his possibilities.
He then spoke of mans possibility
in the material world, saying that
man had gone into the very heart of
the earth and had laid bare the rich
es hidden for centuries; that he had
built magnificent railroad systems,
pulled down the mountains, filled up
the vallies, built great canals and
many other things of which the
ancients never dreamed. He reviewed
mans possibilities in the spiritual
world by holding UP the life and
works of Jesus Christ as the ideal of
all humanity. He then made the
statement that man will be held ac-
that unless he makes use of the pos
sibility that It win be taken away
from him.
AS this was an ordination sermon,
some remarks were made with the
special reference to the young men
just entering the ministry. He ap-
pealed to the ministers never to be
many times the minister was silently
but steadily helping men to lift them
selves out of their low estate and to
discover the great possibilities of the
human race.
