Notable Address D
H.. Frazer Befor
Theologien'
Tho following paper was prepare/! |
for the students of the Columbia Thu- j
ologtcai Seminary and was presented
to them. It attracted attention at the !
time, and by Invitation of the Auder- I
sop county ministerial union, it was j
read at the meeting Monday. This'
will explain Ibo phraseology du which !
M was couched.
The best asset of any community ls (
n real man'. The most reul nven of any. j
coramuity ought to be the "Man of
dod." If I can impart to you som? !
conception of what the Minister in thc
continuity ought to be. us a man und as
u citizen, I shall feel that 1 am justi
fiable In turning away from th? nt- i
tran ..< , ' : . : of a Minister's labors-:
as u.i y i ru related Immediately to
(he greut work of pr/udilng tL-j dos- j
pol of Christ. These phases of youri
preparation, I am fully persuaded, I
baye been thoroughly canvassed bs
.the men whom the Church ha ? placed .
kerie to give their time and thought to (
the vont In that line.* . j
There is a very important telation
that every 'Minister sustains that heB I
very probably uot beek stressed as lt '
lies beyond thc scope ihn* i? usually
/covered in these dep?Mmcnts?.,, Thia
part of tho Minister's fymhihlng ls
very Important, however, and has giv
en no little concern and 'ban; bren of
no Utile worth to the men o? the Min
istry an they havo takei; t?> the work
of the Muster In their respective com
munities. 1 rofer to the relation that
?BffVI^ ?tl sais iixiDt a untwist ? ?r Ciw- J
mimlty as a'mun and nfl n citizen, |
There, are two considerations thut1
move me me to attempt to lay before '
yms whatever conclusions I may hive
re_aehr>il tn r/i? ir-a tn o>i? **f Iri'lr??, SS ;
I have viewedlt in the lives of others '
an? felt lt in my own. experience.'' I
Tho first is that your community re
lationship affords ior a wide sphere
for ltlits*"Btlng tho power of the. Gos
pel of..?jiod in your own life, and in
serving men in various ways that,you
cannot have in the regular inmiatre**
tiona of the pulpit or the routine ot
lite strictly-official ministerial labors. 1
You may bo an effective preacher ot
the Gospel as you move ou thu streets
or as you mix nnd mingle wirti, men

civil privileges. , You are ,;o!ng to
contribute your quota, aa an lutoger
of society, to the 'moulding of COM?IUIII
Hy character and the pitching of com
munity, tono. -
Again, I am moved to n'xem these
things by the consideration of the re
.flex Influence.-your reis'Sos, to the
community will have upon your posi
tion lu the pulpit as the commoner,
laboring specifically under the com
mission out of the Unseen. The ave
nues to your sacred desk aro going tc
be Increased jor decreased' by the at
titude th at Von UHH nine nu aman In thc
community. If a man lives himself In
to the love, und esteem of bis fellows'
during the week;he can carry them to
the fountains of Cospel truth when the I
Sabbath comes. If thc men are dis
gusted with the life that he llviis mid
has no confidence In bia own practical
Illustration, of the Gospel of Christ,
they will not como to hear hld mes
sage when he stands to Speak for God
from the sacred desk. . |
With these considerations In mind
it huB seemed to, me to be an appro- ]
prlate ihinysv to attempt to fclta you i
the 1 rn pressions that I have, gathered ]
both from observation and experience I
ak to that relation that Should 'H sus
tained by a Minister to the social,
business and civic intitulions by which
Ive is surrounded. j
I. First of all let me say that <
that you sustain the relation to so- j
claty of un integer ot sh individual. ]
Vun Tut a aime? timi is iniencea tor
M man. You must be a men! What1
you aro will determine practically
your worth to the coxaihulty. You must
live every day the ?x?Ued life ot a
C?tristiaii gentleman, -cho Apostle's
exhortation to Timothy. "Be thou an 1
ex?inple of the believers in word, in
conversation, in charity, in spirit, in j
purity," is especially applicable to
you, young gentlemen, as you assume
you? ^letlptt to the continuity in
whUn*V4Pii>s to .live and.the life ot
which you aro to bo a part. I could
turn tho pages4 of church history,
written during the"brietiltnm Wray (
ministerial life and point om-to you

Ministry. 1 could point out the men

doctrine, I could point you to men
in tho ministry today who are branding
tho message that falls from their Upa
ic the pulpit a? a lie by the message
of theirdptly life among their feUbw
meft. My brethren, let tho power ot
true consistency give, lt impelus to

forth rather, than oppose, lt, and .de

1. There is first of all the necessity
of your being on your guard against
the carelessness of speech. You are
so liable to allow your every day
speech to degenerate, To sacrifice the
pure? good, chaste language upon .'the
altar ot slang and vulgarism. The
tlty of speech'has a very, baneful
effect upon the one who'is guilty- or
me habit and especially ts. this true
.UtotiGg*rd io the Minister of the Hie
Gospel. I cnn point, you to at least
one l"an whose thought waa good,
whose pulpit manner waa attractive,
hut who failed, at least io ono instance
-because hq spotted and soiled his
?beautiful message with elong and vul

Your speoch must be aa chanto aa tlte

tionable story outside the pulpit and
command the same attention or wield
thc same influence when < you enter
