Morgan, I). I)., of Sa. President of Synod. At an impressive, service at St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church yesterday morning at 11 o’clock, Rev. Jj. A. Thomas was officially installed as pastor, the instnllatiton services being conducted by Rev. J. L. Morgan, I). D., of Salisbury, president of the. North Carolina Lutheran Synod. As the of his sermon. Dr. Morgan chose I Timothy 4 :12 "Let no man despise thy youth: he thou an example of a believer, in word, in conversation, in love, in faith, in pur ity." out tinging the. example a pastor should set for his congregation, and the obligation that the members are under to follow the example. The sermon was to both the pastor and the congregation. By being an example in the word, the speaker explained, is meant not only hi the use by the pastor of choice language and clean speech, but also that he should he careful in the word he preaches, that he_preach the saving truth. The members should follow the example in the use o’s their words, making use of no words which offend, and having regard for the feelings of others. In Ins conversation or manner of living, said Dr. Morgan, the preacher or pastor should set a Godly example. This is the easier to do before a people who do tin* same way. The actions of a congregation will reflect on what the pastor is, and it is important that the manner of living of each member should he a good example to others. But the example in word and in manner of living, if they do not come froifi the heart are only false and will" have no effect unless there, be love at tlie bottom of it all. ’ Love or charity is at the of all right living, without charity these things are but “as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.” Where true love abounds, then there will l>e. evidences' of that love, which is faith. Faith in the word is the for<*e which will make the message of a preacher satisfy both the mind and soul of his hearers. The pastor should have the faith that saves, and tin* faith that serves. A faith that does not manifest itself in its work is a dead faith. If the congregation lias tin* true faith, it will not lie satis fied to sit idly by and keep this faith to itself, but will he. a working and active congregation. The objective that the church needs to set for itself today is the saving of souls —a real, active work, which will he an evidence of our faith. The. pastor and the Christian should ho an example in purity, continued Dr. Morgan, who called attention to the a minister is made a castaway, or when a member of a congregation be comes an object of reproach. The lives of the pastors and the people should be of purity, and should to sonic measure reflect tin* image of their Greater, who is all-pure. . Dr. Morgan then officially installed the. Rev. Mr. Tlmmas as pastor of the St James congregation, placing the Synod's stamp of approval upon tin* pastor's acceptance of the call extended to him last summer by the local con gregation. The service was attended by a large congregation, and special music Juul been arranged by the choir for the oc casion.

But we sure were siftin’ pretty there on the Rhine. Nobody can say we weren’t sittin' pretty, no sir. We were getting paid in American dollars, but we got it in marks—s.ooo for a dollar.

Southern Baptists attending the Baptist World Alliance at Stockholm, Sweden, the last week in duly (and the indications are the number will he exceptionally large) will make, the trip on dry ships if they adopt 'the suggestion of Dr. A.
