heard one of your secretaries say
that last year was n prosperous and
successful one for the Congregational
body-there had been a net gain OF
Is. 900 members. That means that on
the average one minister and 100
church members toiled for a whole
year and gained six members and lost
three, making a net gain OF three.
Now ! would have no part in this or

were going TO do better than that. A
gain Of three a year for q minister
and 100 members! This does no:
keep up with the gain in population.
This does not even hold the children
Of the church.
And there is another question to
be asked-What is the quality OF
these three members that are gained :
Are they persons who know what
Christianity means? Are they peo-

of Christ was managed, and how in
adequately the Gospel was preached
saw everywhere the church OF
Christ oficered by men who could
not run any ordinary business with
success, or by able men who gave
religion a secondary place in their
lives; and / saw the Gospel preached
by men who had little aim or object
in view except to fill appointments
This was so prevalent that the church
was losing it's great opportunities.
This is what we mean when We
say that the church is conventional
that means bound by custom, and
lacking in aim. People 60 through
the motions Of religion as they have
seen other people do, and do not think
what is the aim, the object, the pur'
pose of these motions.
An old Roman, Sextus Julius From
tinus, centuries ago, set forth the
spirit in which any man should enter
upon Any public duty. These are his
words: "Inasmuch as every office
conferred by the Emperor demands
special attention, and inasmuch as he
has now conferred upon me the duties
of water commissioner-duties con-
tributing to the health, convenience,
safety of the city, and from old

in this work. And you must make
the claims Of religion rise superior Il
to the attractions of comfort, luxury,
pleasure-even refined pleasures
above clubs, music, education, above
all the things that are only subor-
dinate means for higher things, above
worldly success, above all things else.
Gle that forsaketh not all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple" As
VIM. Law said, "0ne cannot be half
Christian"
How can we select the most i'm
portant among the many, many thipgs
which should come into the charge
to a man undertaking all this?
/ First. we charge you to remember
that your loyalty and accountability
goes beyond any church OF any de-
nomination. We as a council here
have no power to call you to the min
istry. You have already been called
by the Lord and Master of us all, and
to Him is your allegiance. We mere
ly recognize your divine call from
Him. You are a minister Of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Let that thought guide
all your actions; let that thought give
you confidence at all trying times.
Let your song be, "I'm the Child Of
a King, I'm the Embassador Of a
King"
Second, as you are to be Christ's
ambassador, be often with Him. Your
first duty is in the secret place OF
prayer. All YOUR victories are to be
won there. Have you thought Of it,
Very few people care for the soul Of
a minister. Nobody breaches TO him.
II they pray for the minister they
pray for his outward success rather
than for his own souls welfare. Few
| think of his burdens, his temptations.
When ministers get together they
must talk Of their machinery OF
church work more than of the needs
of their own souls. And really no.
body dares speak to the ministe.
about any Of his dangers or shortcom-
ings unless they are angry The
ministry. and christian workers in
general. are a neglected class spirit

The Pope Of Rome, at the head Of
the largest church organization Of
the world, he who claims the power
TO grant indulgencies for sin and to
depose kings and rulers, the Pope Of
Rome has a private chaplain TO whon
he confesses his own sins. Now. my
brother. you must be your own chap

great christian authors. You will not
get great good for your own soul by
reading sermons, because you will be
applying them to other people. But
there are the inspired devotional au
thors: old Baxter. and Thomas Fuller
and VIM. Law. There are Finney's
sermons to processing Christians.
And in our own time we have had
Mrs. Prentice, and Hannah Whitehall
Smith, and Professor Drummond, and

use them.
Thirdly, be financially independent.
