 street, was installed as head of the church at impressive insta llation ex-
 ercises last evening. 4 large congre-
 gation greeted Mir. Libby at his first

 welcomed to Plainville by the heads
 of the other churches here.

 pastor of the Plainvillc NJ. F. church. 1 Rev. Charles $. Wyckoff. pastor of the | Plainyiile Congregational church, then
 read a passage of Scripture. He was
 followed by solo by one of the
 members of the choir. Rev. Robert 1 Huggins of the Advent Christian church of New Britain offered prayer and the congregation joined in singing a hymn.
 ! Rev. Thomas Feltman. pastor of the Advent Christian church of Water bury. delivered a forceful installation sermon. He drew a parallel between fisherman and a pastor. He stated that a fisherman must learn how 10 fish and a pastor must learn how to attract men and women to tho church. He said that the ministry was a business and should have the most practical ability that could be secured. It is not vision but is business of Christ. It needs application and busi- ness methods to succeed in winning men and women to the church. A factory superintendent must be eff cient so that the factory production can be kept up to the highest stan dard. So it is with the pastor. He must be efficient in the business Of Christ so that he can get the best production from his parishioncrs. He drew a picture of how business house keeps in touch with it's GUS toners and prospects and said that n pastor should do the same.
 "Sometimes' he said. "l think the congregation are preached to death. The church needs pastors moro than preachers. The church is the spirit ual hospital for the weak in the con gregation. and who will minister to the wants and needs of tho congrega- ton if the pastor doesn't?'
 Hitting at the Modcrnists, Mir Felt man said, Tt is far better to study the Bible than to know tho views Of the Modernists." He said that the study of the Bible was necessity and stat l cd that the pastor should be above ! rcproach. He enumerated the duties of the pastor and said that although the material reward is small. a crown | of glory awaits him when he meets the Lord.
 Rev. J. C. Ward. pastor Of the Bap- list church, welcomed the new clergy man to Plainyillc. He stated that piaintille is n beautiful and busy place and any homcsicknes that he might have would soon disappear. .
