4ONcE oVERSD

Are you one who never apologizes7
Think It is impossible for you to be
mistaken?
It is possible to apologize and keep
your dignity.
And a generous heated body tries to
recognize another's point of view.
Reasonable persons will apologize
when a hurt to another was uninten-
tional.
Isn't II worth while to be. and to
win the reputation of being a reason
able person?
The graclOns yielding Of a point.
sometimes is worth more to the who
yields than to the one who is placated
If you are a broad-minded person
you are able to see your own faults
and imperfe:tions at least part Of the
time.
Whether the one who receives your
apology accepts It or not should not
concern you half so much as to have
done your part.
So sure Of your own motives and
good intentions that you will not un-
bend enough to acknowledge that you
have made mistake?-Chicago Ex-
aminer.

The Installation.

Rev. Stanley F., Bloomfield of Mont
pelier gave the prayer of installa-
ton. The. charge to the pastor was
given by Rev. Donald Fraser of Wells
River. He emphasized three things
in the traditions of the ministry: The
tradition of God, the tradition of
service, the tradition of immediate
ness. Rev. r. B. Richards gave
the right hand of fellowship, touch
ing upon the fellowship of the min
listers in the state, county, town and
community Rev. C. C. Merrill of
Burlington gave the charge to the
people in place of Rev. DR.. Barnes.
He urged the people to help their
pastor by freeing him from details
and administrative work. He must
be assured of your support and at
tendance. He must be freed from
details for the larger task of con-
structive leadership. No ministry
and no church life will count Tor
anything unless we know the mean
ing of sacrificial ministry. During his
address he paid deserved tributes to
both Rev Chauneey@ a. Adams and
Chaplain Moody for their splendid
service overseas.
