Rev. J. L. AVllllams read a somewhat extensive report on "Systematic Bene flclence," which was followed by the reading of a report on the American Baptist Publication society by Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce, D. D. The committee on obituaries leported through Rev. C. A. Spalding. After singing by the con gregation tho much-Iooked-for address by Rev. AVIlllam Miller on "Fifty Years In the Christian 'Ministry" was delivered by him. which took the char acter of a temlnlscence. There was a falr-kized audience present and the closest attention was manifested throughout. Many people were irreatly moved by the remarks made. Although Rev. Miller Is 80 years of age, he is of excellent physique and speaks with great force and animation. He said in part: "The circumstances under which every Individual begins his life's work has Its bearing on that work. When circumstances arc favorable he gets a good start; when circumstances are unfavorable he must put forth much effort to get success. My father, Itev. Charles Miller, of Clifford, was born in 1V9.1 In Clifford, six years after the first man moved Into this section. When I began to go to school wp had to meet In a private house and we had only a three months' term and wete fortunate to have that. AVonderful changes have occurred In my time. I left the public school before I was IS years ot age to help my father care for live adults MANY YEARS OF LABOR. "For sixty-two years I have been be fore the public either as teacher or preacher. The first great event of my life occurred when I was 17 years of age, when I took a stand that I would j never touch Intoxicating liquors or to i bacco. The next event was In 183t, j when I was converted alone and In the woods. AVhilu teaching In 1842 I he i came acquainted with a young lady, and after taking a short walk one evening and having a talk we con cluded to marry. AVe have been mar 1 rled for fifty-four years and she has ' proven a great help-meet. Often had l bten talked to In reference to enter ' Ing the ministry and that I should go ' to school to prepar- for It. I said no, nnd In order to have no further Influ i ence brought upon me regarding this , subject I went away among strangers. In lSlI I settled tho matter about pleaching and this text came to my ilium. l lie Piti ol ti K"IH1 IIIIII1 aie ordered of the Lord.' The church . censed me In lWfi. I was ordained fifty years ago and became imstor of the Scott A'nlley church. 1 have had reg ular appointments, with few excep tions, and have not been laid aside by sickness or weather but a few Sundays. During all these years I have preached In only seven churches, and these church around Clifford, churches my fnthpr preached In fort thirty-five years. For seventeen years I was pas tor of my own church." He said the climax of all arguments with him In the ministry Is, Does Ood requlro It? The thing that stimulated him was the world's need. I have not been permitted to seo what some would call great revivals, but have been prlvl--legtd to welcome some few hundreds Into the churches. I leave results with Ood. All that I havo Ood requires to be used for Ills glory nnd the good of men. I have a grandson pieparlng for tho ministry. He visited mo tho other day and I said to him: Tnless you are convinced that God tequlres you to preach, never preach." In re spect to voting: When I can get evi dence a man is fit for a placo I wite regardless of party." At the close of 'he address Rev. D. J. Williams pte. tented tho following resolution, which was adopted by a rising vote and the Chautauqua salute to Rev. Miller: HEARTY THANKS EXTENDED. Wc urc Klad to lue llrotlur William Miller with us und to lUtin to the lntfrutinir addreu which he lia delivered on Ilia "fifty Yean in the MlnWry."
