Theso words were snoki'ti by u nobleman to his servants when he was about to depart for some far off country, giv ing each a sum of money to carry out his requests. "We nr the appendants of one who had wealth at his disposal, which has boon placed In our hands. The trust here Is the church for which the Sav ior died, which we appreciate morei than life itself. That we may mako use of It to tho glory of God and the benefit of our souls Is my earnest prayer. In it wo find u pure faith, a holy church und all It contains and confers upon men 111 life giving sac raments. "How much are we likened to the servants of the nobleman referred to In the text. No one dale say that tlva Lord will not accept the trust. Wc are all servants of Ood and no one should fall to share tho responsibilities In cumbent upon them. The honor con ferred upon mankind by tho tru3t God bns placed In him Is a great conde scension, und I thank God for that trust. THE FIELD OF WORK. "There Is also a duty devolving "There is also a duly developing upon us in accepting this trust. Wo do not accept I his edifice merely as a place to dwell In, but in another sense. In the church men are prepared for the kingdom of God, and while your influences may be felt elsewhere It Is light hero In this particular field that you must work. The church Is also a place of rest and refreshment for all who have begun to Journey heaven ward. The cross Is Christ only and Him crucified. "All things uround me today seem to assure me that the faith of the evangelists Is to be taught and receiv ed here to the glory of God and his Immortal soul. Your duty Is far from being done. You must do the will of i Uon and his girts lire to lie used in carrying out his pleasure and most gracious wishes. Put not the church to base use or selfish purpose nnd remember to be diligent In using all Interests aright.
