PEIDE IN THE STUDY.
Characteristics Demanded of Pastors
Who Would be Successful.
FROM EXYY, HATRED AND MALICE
Good Lord, Deliver Us, is a Frajer Essen
tial for Ministers.
DoLNGS OF CHURCHES AND PEE AC HERS
A very high standard was that held up
by the Key. S. L. Palmer as the one for the
true pastor to attain, in his paper read be
fore the Presbyterian ministers' meeting on
Monday morning on "The Bible Ideal of a
Christian Minister." Among many other
attainments essential he said:
The first important work to be performed
in the construction of any building is to lay
a good foundation. "A bishop should be
the husband of one wife," the general idea
of which is he should havo but one at a
time. But there existed among the Jews
and heathen a strong prejndice against a
second marriace. The question, however, is
one that need not call forth much discussion
now. The fact that it is commonly prac
ticed without harm being wrought as to its
influence upon the public is sufficient to giro
each one llbertj to act according to the dictates
of bit own conscience. But if Panl were here
to-day we would be hard pressed, no doubt.
to Bud any reason for thinking that be
rould not apply the rule to us as closely
u be did to tbe Gentilo bishops of bis day ana
Bay as be am to ximotny, let -a uisnop ue tue
husband of one wife." He must eTer be on
the natch, keenly alive to see what ought to be
done. He must be able to exercise cool, dis
passionate reason, self-controlled, sell-pos-Mssed,
capable of restraining himself, and
avoid showing undue excitement. His tcne,
look and general appearance must be in keep
ing with his profession, as outward appearance
has more to do with a minister's influence than
we think. Ho should not spend all his time
and means in entertaining tbe members of bis
church, bis neighbors or bis friends, but he
should have a noble, generous heart that
wonld respond to tbe call of strangers or
friends. To turn away in coldness when op
portunity was offered to exteud tbe bopitalitv
of a home to a brother in need was not in tbe
mind of this great lover of mankind when he
expressed this thought. He must have not
only a fitness to teach, but also a dis-
Eosition, a readiness that will make
im prompt to improve opportunities
when offered. A minister might have all
the education and culture possible to secure,
ana be lacking in tbe earnest desire ana readi
ness, and all other preparations would go for
naught No one of experience w,ll deny tbe
asertion that it requires not a little executive
ability to govern well a household. To draw
the line between love and duty is not a trifle.
If tbe minister then fails to govern well bis
own bouse, bow can be be expected to possess
in greater measure the same qualifications
which are required to influence the church?
Tbe minister who is given to the use of wine in
any form, cot onlv falls to come up to the Bible
standard, but falls far below that of common
people and common morality, and that is say
ing much. He mut not strike either with hand
or tongue. Mr. Moody did once set an example
by threshing a jnung man in the Sunday school,
but it would not be well, perhaps, to try to imi
tate Mr. Moody in nerything. Ministers are
sometimes very severe crmrs on each other's
gifts, and bv their remarks bring themselves in
to contempt with people who would
otherwise be benefited. The surroundings I
of ministers expose them to manv tcmntatinns. !
"Young men," said a wise bishop to a gradua
ting class, "you may be both ugly and dull, but
there will be at least some silly woman ready to
tell you that you are so f mart and fo band
some." Once tainted by this spirit the next
Step is jealousy. . young and generous mind
revolts from such things and suspectslbe sys
tem that produces them. Verily In despising
each other's gifts in speaking lightly of each
other preachers do the devil service. "From
envy, hatred and malice, good Lord, deliver
us." He must not be a novice. Pride noes
with ministers to their studies, it chooses their
subjects, their words and ornaments. God
bids us be as plain as w e can, but pride stands
by and contradicts all, it dishonors our sermons
with childish conceits. Thus it makes mean
sermons, and what pride makes, tbe devil
makes. When pride makes the sermon It goes
also into the pulpit and forms the tone.bets them
in pursuit of vain applause, it makes
them seek themselves and deny God. When tbe
sermon is over pride goes home w ith them and
makes them more eager to know whether they
were applauded, than whether they prevailed
with any to tbe saving of their souls. Ministers
are to ask wisdom of God that they be kept
from falling, to be made prudent, careful of
every word andact and thus fill up the measure
of Paul's last injunction and "secure a good re
port of them which are without."

Ok Easter Sunday Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler,
who for 30 years had been tbe faithful pastor
of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Churcb,
Brooklyn, retired from tbe active work of the
ministry. He is CS years of age, witb his ver
satile Intellectual powers unimpaired, although
he is partially deaf. Ho has been one of the
most wiacly known pastors of this country.
Not being exceptionally a pulpit orator, still he
was a faithful and interesting preacher of tbe
living trntbs of the gospel. He has been "a
model Christian minister and pastor." His
heart was most tender aud sympathetic; his
sympathy for those in any kind of trial or dis
tress was never known to be appealed to in
vain. Very many besme tbe editor of this col
umn have rejoiced to call him a trne friend,
and can say:
'None know him nut to love.
None name him but to praise."
He graduated at Princeton in 1811, and at the
theological seminary in ISIS; was ordained in
1S4S while serving the Burlington, N.J..Cburcn;
nastor of tbe Market Street Reformed Dutch
Churcb, New York, from 1853 to 18MI; then be
came pastor of the church from which he now
resigns. It then bad 250 members, now nearlv
2,500; and five other churches have been formed
out of it. The good doctor has made happy or
sid 682 couples, baptized 962 children, preached
nearly 3.00U cermons. His church bas given
$605,000 for benevolent objects and used $700,
000 for its home expenses. Beside his many
fiastoral duties, which have bever been neg
ectcd, be has been a prolific writer of books,
tracts and newspaper articles. Surely if any
s'lall receive as their reward the "well done" of
their Maker wben life's duties shall have been
ended none will bo more worthy than Rev.
Theodore Lidyard Cujler, D. D., whose days
w e trust may j et be many.
Ajf opportune friend will be found in Dr.
D. Jayne's Expectorant when racked by a
severe cold and the many lnng or throat
affections which sometimes follow. This
old remedy has met the approval of two
generations, and is to-day as popular, safe
and effective as ever.

HUNTING THK SCHEDULE.
The Water Department Asked to Answer a
Census Circular it Kever Received.
Superintendent Browne, of the Water
Bnreau, yesterday received a letter from
John S. Billings, Surgeon of tbe United
States Army, and one of the managers of
the Census Bureau, asking when he would
be ready to submit schedule N, which had
been sent to the Mayor for transmission to
Mr. Browne.
The schedule referred to is the Census
Bureau's statistics on water works, and had
evidently been forwarded to this city sonae
time ago, but had not reached Mr. Browne,
and he could not find it anywhere in City
Hall. He wrote a letter to Dr. Billing to
that effect, and promised to fill ont the
schedule it another one was sent here.
TOO MUCH RURAL TIIIEYING.
Hungry, Bnt Dlaboneit People RnmmasInK
Robinson Township.
Notwithstanding the glut of food products
in the country, it seems there are some
hungry people in the rural regions. Per
haps, as some political economists hold, it is
owing to faulty distribution. Thieves
have been ransacking cellars In Robinson
township. They got away with a lot of eat
ables in Jonathan Phillips' cellar on Thurs
day night.
As it is almost impossible to hire a man
to do any work iu that section at present, it
would seem that no excuse can be allowed
for stealing.
A BAEBEE SHOP SHATED.
The Central Hotel Tonaorlal Artist Robbed
of Ilia Earnings-
George Hall's barber shop in the Central
Hotel was entered and robbed some time
during Thursday night of between 550 and
60 in cash. The night watchman saw a
man in the place at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning, and his description answered very
closely that of Charles Miller, a colored
barber employed in the shop. Miller was
arrested yesterday by Detective McTighe.
The night watchman is sure the man he
saw in the shop was Miller, bnt the latter
denies haying been there at the time men
tioned. There are
many white soaps,
each
represented to be
"just as good as the Ivory."
They are not,
but like
all counterfeits,
they lack
the peculiar
and remarkable .
qualities of
the genuine.
Ask for
Ivory Soap
