Y. M. C. A. MEETING. Dr. Finlay Speaks on "Opportu nities of Present Day Ministry." Dr. Finlay, pastor of Trinity Episcopal Church, delivered the seventh of the series of life work lectures in Flinn Hall Wednes day evening, choosing for his subject, "Opportunities of the Present Day Ministry." Dr. Finlay opened his address by stating that the ministry is second to none of the professions of life. He explained how the idea of the incompetency of the minister originated; that in the early days of the church if a man had a son whom he thought un fit for any other work, placed him in the church regardless of his capacity and sincerity as a church worker. But there has been a change from this ancient custom. '"The ministry is a man's job, and a big man's ,job, '' said Dr. Finlay. And no man should un dertake the ministry as a profes sion without considering the fact that it is a man's job and that it calls forth all that is noble, pure and righteous in him, and that his work is immortal. In speaking of the opportuni ties of the ministry Dr. Finlay said: "The ministry gives men opportunities for leadership in thought, in the movements of the day and in the great conflicts of the day.'' When men are heard to question the Christian religion, that is a sign that they are in terested and are open to convic tion. There is the opportunity for the minister to lead the thoughts of the people. Indeed, it is a greaL privilege and a gr eat attainment to be able and to be fit to lead the thoughts of the young iople of a generation. And to be a leader of thought the minister must Possess origi nality. He must lead in the light Of his own experience and know ledge. Men in the ministry also have oppurtunities to take part in all the big movements of the day. The speaker pointed out the large role the church has played in the io(ein ;,eace moveii(nt, as well as in the warfare of the past cen turies. Also he stated that there are ''jus;t as fine chances for f ighting today as there ever were. The dragoins we have to fight are graft, the social evil, gambling institutions and alcoholism, which are deluding, destroying and wvasting the 'manhoodI andl w~o manhood of our time." Also he called attention to the stupen dous service the church has ren dleredl the world through mis sions. He said: "Its the biggest opportunity f'or service I know of." 8. C.
