A NEW RECTOR.
i'irst Sermon of Itcv. C. I.. I'ltchott
nt Trinity Kplscopnl Church.
nov. Charles Lee Fltchctt, formerly
of Lunsforil, Pa., yesterday morning
delivered his first sermon ns rector of
Trinity Kplscopal church of this city.
A lnrge conKrejratlon composed In ma
jority of Kptacopallans, nssembled to
hear him. 1'revious to his sermon the
now rector uttered a. idea for the hearty
co-operation of his parlshloneis, say
lucr that hit success and the success of
lit paiUsh depends as much on the lay
men as on the rector. Mr. Fltehett
means to make nn nsBressive IIrIU In
the Interest of th'e church and expects
assistance from all.
He cIiofc as the text of ills sermon
part of Kxodus, xvll:l- "And Aaron
and Hur stayed up his hand3, the one
on the one side ai;d the other on the
other."
lirlefly he paid: "My friends, the
church and the world ntv two antaRo
nlstlo bodies. Tho two great fpt luces,
the one of darkness und the other of
llKlit. are fighting for the souls of men.
1'ntll every soul hows down in nlle
Klance to Christ there can be no end to
this war. Christ when he ascended to
heaven left the church militant to car
ry on this fight. It is a war of exter
mination and every man must do his
duty. As In the fight between the
Anialekltts nnd the Israelites there Is
n place for every one. Joshua fought,
Moses prayed, but still It needed Auron
nnd Hur to stny Moses' hands in his
weariness. Hur, ns we bolleve, was
meiely a lay man nnd dll not make
excuses when needed. He was willing
to work. Nowadavs men set together,
build a church, calls a rector and con
tribute to his salary, nnd think they
are done. They fall to see that they
still have work to dn upholding their
lector's arms. Hector nnd layman to
gether can do a vast amount of good.
The layman often has opportunities for
doing good which never come the rec
tni's way. "They who turn a sinner
from the evil of his ways shall shine
tis fctar in heaven for ever nnd ever."
The burden of your duty Is to give nnd
to do. Don't leave the woik to the wo
men. It Is your work as well as theirs.
I am sure that with the help of Tiin
It's laymen I can do untold good for
the sake and the gloiy of ChrUt."
Mr. Fltch'ett administered the lite of
Ik ly communion at the inornine ser
vice In the evi'tilru l.e preached an
other excellent sermon to a large and
attentive congiegatlon.
IN A A1UDDLE.
