A ■pister's character is his capi tal Ko- forms of speech are too strong to express the intensity of r emphasis which shonld be placed ou this matter of ministerial character. It should be above suspicion. It should be the mightiest power a preacher wields. Let his morality he open to suspicion, and though be JMS&tjmkMiS aud j«»eak it as with the tongue of augels, it would be useless toil. It would be worn* than useless. Even bird men fpl.see that it is but. of [dace for flotanto beweproving sin. The in fncNuce of a questionable character, is a minister of Christs gospel is thtaNy ruinous. Recognizing the ^amonut importance of this mat ter, 8t Paul, writing to a young bishop, says: Take heed to ^nd to the docUiae. It has been said that, io bo duly effective, truth must not merely fall from the iip, hut breathe from the ceaser that only holds it, but like fragrance from a flower, exhaling from a nature effused with it throughout. Tbe most eloquent sermon on-sane tificaitioo is that which is produced %»life which is an bumble, holy **lk with God. The most convinc ing discourse on the divinity of Christ is the maileetutioh of a life the centre of which is Christ, His diviae presence ever shedding its reflected moral beauty ground- our 0WIt TV speech of power couoerti- iag this world's mutability, and the future world's eternity, is to let men we (hat we are living from day to day under the influence of the world ( toeoiue j that we are seeking a bet ter country, even a heavengly. Let •tow so live as to show to all that to him God, and truth, and duty, **d immortality, are the real and pmstical principles of his life, and he will exert upon his fellows the , mightiest of human power, the pow er of a holy life. is nothing binding a man for 1'fr to the profession of the ministry ^y more thau to another profession, *1 he find that, try his best, be has uotlbe ability to discharge its duties; that, among the gifts which are his, fhe gift of preaching is not.

Y* Okttrter. fV, ' * ’ >< - w : T' cZto. V.vcry man has his crctnl—some thing he believes and nets on—and the more clear ami definite his view of it the better for him. The ate ehanic has his plan of work, which, for that'" work, is his creed. The politician lias his platform, which, in affhirs of 'statc, ia his creed. The Christian lias his articles of faith, which are his creed: A creed may bo nttrely mental, or it may be written ; it may be more or less comprehensive ; but so far as it goes, if it expresses oar belief, It Is our creed. Every believer Has, aud has * right to ho|re -n 'creed. Just as clearly every association of believers has a right to have, and should have a creed. They can not unite and cooperate without it; and having it, they should abide by it, maintain and practice it consistently and faithfully. This is the commou sense of the subject, tv which no reasonable ob jection can be made. It does not dishonor the Word of God to have a written coufession of' what we be lieve it teaches. Nor does it violate Of conscience. We may impose our creed upon others , no more should any one be allowed to accept it or act nn^er it wl^o does not believe it. hi either case it would be . to make it but an instru ment of hypocrisy.
