And cause the brightness of Thy lace
. Ou all Thy saints to shine."
' And the latter, with tbe following:
. . ' Go, preach my Oespel, salth the Lord,
Bid the whole earth my grace receive;
Ex plain to them my sacred Word,
Bid them believe, obey, aud live."
BKltMON BY TBE REV. ROBERT J. FARVIN.
Mr. Parvln then took for his text tbe passage from
Jeremiah xxll, 14, reading as follows: "Oh earth,
earth, earth, bear the word of the Lord;" and that
nom Romans x, 14, as follows: "How shall they hear
without a preacher?"
Mr. Parvin then said: Whether by the mouth of
prophet or apostle, we have here the voioe ot Uod tor
instruction. The voice of Uod by the mouth of the
prophet seems to be an earnest call to the busy In
habitants of earth to let not earthly cares and earthly
pleasures have dominion over them. As Matthew
Henry has it: "It l a cull to men tlmt mind earthly
thing, that are swallowed up in those things, aud are
inordinate in their pursuit of tbem; such have need
to be called upon again and again, and a third time,
to hear the Word of the Lord,"
And the voice of God by the mouth of the Apostle
seems to be the plaint ot tbe Cburcn Christ In her
apparent weakness and Insufficiency fir the great
work, devolved so responsibly upon her, of making
known "tbe word of the Lord." The Church or Christ
In the world, and yet. In a most Important sense, not
of tbe world, seems to recogulze the great work given
her lolo, the great purpose for which sue Is perpetu
ated cm the earth, 'o be that of sounding forth, over
aud over again, "line upon Hoe, and precept upon
precept," the word of tbe Lord.
But the inhabitants or earth are many, and they
are engrossed with earthly pursuits. They are
scattered abroad "upon all the face of the earth,"
whilst we, spokesmen of the Lord, the ambassadors
of Cbrlst in Ilia Church on earth, are but few in
number, and cannot speak loud enough, nor travel
Yast enough to meet she necessities of the oase. Men
are perishing "for lack of knowledge," and men must
continue to perish without knowledge, unless the
ordained Instrumentalities for imparling knowledge
of the Lord be Increased a thousaud laid. Hence,
when the Prophet gives his repeated can to ua sous
of meu, "U earth, eaith, earth, hear the word
or tbe Lord," the apostle, who appreciates
the great need and who feels the great
responsibility in the case to be resting, under ChrUt,
upon himself and bis associates aud their followers,
may well send back the response, orsend upward aud
-outward the cry, "How shall they hear without a
in this our day tne great w.r;a-neeu exists as i
and as presslugly as in the day ot either proph
-apostle; and upon the Cburcn ot to-d iy rests the
of meeilug ibis existing need. It will not do 1

....infill m st in the lalth mat Christ's Church
having been es abliibtd, "the gates of hell shall not
prevail against It." It is 'or us, as a part of this
Church ot Cbrlst, and mindful of the purpose for
which the Church has been established, earnestly to
Inquire, "Lord. Lord, what wilt Thou have us to do?"
In order that most speedily alt of earth's Inhabitants
may "bear tbe word ot the Lord."
We mav be confident as to the all snfllclent grace of
our Divine Master, the Great Head of tbe Church, aud
may feel assured that "He shall see or tbe travail of
His soul, and shall be satisfied" that, of a truth, "all
nations shall serve Him." But yet, in view of the ten
or twelve hundred millions of our race now on the
earth, and ot the immense proportion of tbem who
never yet have beard the word of the Lord, and
tie utter insufficiency, not of preaohlngas meaus
for the end desired, but or preachers or the gospel, we
cannot but take up the plaintive cry of tbe Apostle,
and ask, "How shall they bear without a preacher?''
This question, tbus asked, should move us to faithful
examinations and earnest considerations as to our
responsibility aud our duty In regard to the world's
Deed of preachers aim the Church's supply of tbem.
' Brethren of the Clergy and of the Laity of our
Church iu the Diocese of Pennsylvaula, iu Conven
tion assembled: Had I been left entirely to my own
selection ot tberua when appointed to preach to
you to-day, I could not, I think, have found oue more
Important or more timely than ibis which I have
already indicated. It will not be Improper, however,
for me to say that tbe authority appointing me to
-eland In this pulpit to-day indicated also the subject
to be presented. Our esteemed Bishop feels, as all
our Bishops throughout the Church feel, that tbe
great want of the Church Is, so iar as human
agency Is concerned, more men or Uod, in the spirit
and power of tbe Lord, to go loi th every wnere and
preach the Word. I would, Indeed, that another and
an abler one had been appointed in my s'ead. 1 have
no desire to preach to my brethren Hi the ministry,
and surely uo claims ol an intelligence or a devotion
superior (o your, out of the lreasurs of which to en
rich you. But you will bear with me whilst, lu en
deavoring to meet my dutyol the morning. I seek
also to dee peu and to strengthen your sense of the
world's greatest need, and the chief duty of the Church
The most vital need of the earth Is that its Inhabi
tants should hear tiis w ord ol the Lord, which comes
to awaken men irom tuwlr careless slumber and
stupor, to set before tbem a way of escape, and to
fexhort them to flee from the wrath to come, and to
Say hold Ton eternal life. In the unlolrtlngs ol its
teachings this word meets all ibe necessities or man's
coMJilio. Without It man bus uo assurance of an

. .5 :i,vi!i which we oreaoh; that If tl
y ft ISd'Dthou .bait be saved.-' A faith , and
a coniinBiuu v. i.v need of hearing.
1 -.r'i'.'L.LH.Ta Llaoes an exalted honor upon the
preaching of the dospel. As Christians we are to
commemorate the sacrifice of Christ; but we nave a
higher call than this to preach the Word, In order
thai men may bear, believe, and be saved. As an
auxiliary to the extension of the Word of Uod, there
Is none equal to the Christian pulpit,
"The pulpit, In the sober use
Of lis legitimate and sober powers,
Must stand acknowledged, while the world shall
stand,
The most effective and Important guard,
bupport, and ornament of virtue's cause."
The power of the pulpit Is the power or truth. It Is
a mighty and permanent power. Hut.ai a Church,
we have need of many more preachers of the gospel.
We have actually, at the present time, fewer candi
dates than we bad a few years since.
In Ihm there were !43 candidates; In 1HS9 there were
2(M; while two years since thero were but 2tw from
twenty-three reported Dioceses. The harvest truly Is
great, and the laborers few.
As ministers of Christ, we cannot afford to contend
among ourselves, one party against another. I know
we are bidden to contend earnestly fur the faith, not
among ourselves, but agulnst the world, the fl -sli,
and the devil.
We have no time to war among ourselves; webavo
a greater work, our Master's, and we must be a"out
Ii, We need men to enter the ministry from pure
motives, which will flow from Christ to man, for
whom Christ died. With the consciousness of a right
motive, they w ill he strong In the Lord. We ueed
learned njeu for tbe ministry, for only a Itarned
ministry can preach to all clas es o' people.
1 hey must not preAcli themselves, but Christ Jesus,
the Lord. Hays llradlord, "The word ol Uod, and not
of man. Is to lighten our steps." It Is not so Impor
tant that the minister be a man of large acquire
ments, hut that what he has be of the spirit, Uod hai
blessed those who put faith In Him.
But where can we llnd the needed supply? The
Church must furnish them, and ample pecuniary pro
vision must be made for every candidate for the ser
vice ol Uod. In some countries there are provisions
made to educate men for tbe ministry, and a com
fortable living Is afforded them alter entering it.
Here we have nothing ot the kind, and perhaps It Is
belter.
But the wilting one should not be compelled to toll
alone and drug his way to the position which be
desires.
We must remember that many professions oTer
such Inducements ot honor and gal", that many who
might enter the ministry are Induced to enter suoli
callings, christian munificence must meet the de
mands for support of the ministry. Or means tube
used for the supply ministers must preach,
n (he letter from Bishop Htevens appointing me to
this task, he said: "There Is one aspect ot tills ques
tion which has tor many years impressed my mind,
vis : The duty of the clergy to bring distinctly before
the pious young men of their congregutions the de
mands of the ministry, and the i individual duty of
each prayerfully to settle the question, D e Uod call
me to this office anil ministry? I am persuaded that
If the clergy would more thoroughly canvass their
their parishes they would find one or more young
men who only need a guiding band, or an encour
aging word to cause them to consecrate themselves
to tills work. There Is scarcely a parish in nny
diocese that could not. II' properly worked, furnish at
least one caudidale for orders. And what a blessing
would sucb a state ot tilings be to the several parishes
furnishing the candidates! What a reinforcement It
would give to the clerical strength ot the Diocese!
What numerous lines of Interest starting from so
many churches, would be thus concentrated on our
Divinity fcchool, quadrupling lis members and Its
power I
"Yet further," he adds, "there are three things
which we must have or the church cannot keeu
abreast the demands of the age men, loarned men,
fodly men. I had rather have but ten clergy In my
docese, meu of holy heart, and learned
mind, than a hundred merely educated
preachers whose sermons and whose
ministrations show but little, It any, of the power of
the Holy Hplrlt. My brethren, we may have sermons
enough preached on the olllce of the miuistry aud the
authority of the ministry but not many, I fear, on
the want ot a tenfold Increase of the ministry."
The preacher closed his eloquent discourse by re
ferring to Ihe dying words of a pious person, and
said: Ol let us labor, and let us pray, as we never vet
have labored, and never yet have prayed, that "The
Lord or the harvest would send lorth more laborers
Into His harvest,"
Ai the conclusion of the sermon the Holy Sacra
ment wan administered, after which the Convention
proceeded to the business of the day the Rev. Dr. De
WolteHoweln the chair. Tbe roll of lay delegates
who failed to answer yesterday was then called,
showing still a very large number of absentees.

Struggling Hard to Improve. The weather

.?"' ''' terson, of Ihe PhCudplphlaConfernnre
01 the M. . Church, was then lutroduced to the Con

considerations of deficiency as to executive ability he
did not think lirother Laws oiifjht to be continued as
a traveling pruaeber. He therefore moved his loca
tion for one year.
Kev. Messrs. Kddy, Weaver, Gould, aud others op
posed the motion to locale.
The Iilshop ordered the reading; of the Articles of
piBilpllne upon the subject, and then slated that
Ilrelher Laws had the right, before taking the vote, to
be heard In his own defense, sillier Id person or by

Hev. Laws chose Rev. William Moore as his repre
sentative, who very ably de.'ended Brother Laws as to
bis moral and religious accentablllty among the
people.
Itev. W. R. Norrls having haJ the overnight ot Kev.

ment made In training the 3 011th ot the Church: ol the
utility of preachers and oflicers doing their part In
this good work; ot the importance of greater vigilance
on tbe part of all our membeis; and pledges the hearty
co-operation of the Conference.
Kev. Weaver Moore spoke upon the subject of
using .every means of a laudable character to not
only retain our present membership, but to enlarge
our field In every direction. Klder Moore claimed
that one auxiliary of the Sabbath School was good
music, The Sabbath School scholars were attracted
by sood music, benre the wide-spread Interest in
producing abundance or those soul-stlrrlng anthems
and hymns sung In our Sabbath Schools, aud found
only in the extensive collection ot Sabbath bcaool
melodies; and he hoped that every true-hearted
Methodist would do bis or her best to aid the cause
of good music; for In so doinz we were advancing
the cause, and enlarging the area of our Sabbath
Schools. I thlrrk the Conlerence should most de
cidedly express itself on this important subject. ,
'Ibis speech was received with demonstrations of
apDlause. which was quickly suppressed by the
BishoD. but which showed most decidedly that much
feeling existed in favor of Rev, Mr. Moore s remarks.
