vlto your attention to the words of
my text, 'Occupy till I come.' 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.
"To woik. pray and give is a part
of the trust Imposed upon you. and
you must profit by and take euro of it
till the Lord comes. Ue not weary in
well doing. Earnestness and diligence
is necessary to carry on the work of

diligent, but they are not faithful. It
Is most Important that a man be found
faithful. The reward Is In seeing souls
brought to Christ, In the erection of

reward for the faithful, nnd he only
receives that reward who faithfully
occupies till the Lord comes. Ha
faithful and the rownrd must come."
At the conclusion of Rev. Bchaeffcr's
address the choir sang nn anthem and
