THE MODEL STEWARD-
Tlie steward is nn important mem
berOf Hie Mcihodiat economy, Tito
wclMeih and hannoniou3 moe-
meat of the system is to some extent
independent on bis fidelity. The
condition of his Chtircli, i9 unity, ef
ficiency, and liberality, result from
example and t Moris. Ti e preacher
comes and toes, but the steward
never itinerates; he is fixed, and
around him as the center the iiineran
cy revolves. He welcomes the new
readier, holds up his hands during
his pastorate, and send3 him to other
fields free from financial stress and
strengthened in heart aud hands. A
good steward is without pric. A
bad one is a nuisence and a sin. The
model steward ' to be with frequent
ly, ond their model work is ther high
est praise. The signs of spiritual
thrift are seen on every hand. An
inefficient steward is wore than an
incubus; he nol onty hinders" the
good, but educates in evil.
By his neglect the preacher sutfera
in purse and honor, and the church
suffers with him; the grace of giving,
and with it all other graces, are ar
rested, and church affairs have the
air of looseness. The steward gives
character to hi9 church, the grace of
giving being a chief one; the church
which habitually falls behind in that
will be behindhand in other things,
The model steward must be a Me
thodist in deod and in truth a
Methodist insido and out. One who
loves the Methodist church ; is jealous
of its honor; mo3t sensitive to every
thing that concerns its welfare. One
who is devoted to its economy, fami
liar with its doctrines, careful of its
discipline. A Methodist by convic
tion, and if to conviction 'there be
added education, heredity, and tradi
tion, it will be well Men listless in
their devotion to Melii -.dism, ignor
ant of its -doctrines, history, and t s
sential features, untrue to its discip
line, should not bvj put into the office
of steward, Their relations and func
tions are nol wholly financial, at.d if
tbey were there is much in thorough
loyalty in strong convictions, in ar
dent devotion to secure success in
church finances as in other depart
ments of church effort. While devo
tion to Christ is first, and must be so
much so as u have no other first, but
devotion to Christ works through the
agency of devotion to a particular de
nomination, 'It is an orbit limited
to, and shining m, its fixed sphere.
A thorough Methodist may be a poor
Christian, but it would be an anoma
ly to find a devoted Christian in the
Methodist church in official relation
who wae not a devoted Methodist.
The higher works through the lower.
The model steward, a Methodist in
acy of the men who til -them. De
voted aa tbe steward's oHicj i3 at
many poin's to the . st,cuHar,his spir
ituality is the mote important that
03 this spirituality ho r'ay"v8piritu
lize the secular, and not fallow- it to
seculariz him, his office a.d the
church. .Mr. Wesley giiarded this
point with great care. Tie provided
that the Methodist stewards, 'are
to be jen full of the Holy Gost and
of wisdom; that they ba' do all
things acceptable to Godi They are
to begin and end everv Reeling with
'iarne.t prayer to God fulr blessings
on all their undertakings." "You
are." says Mr. Wesley, ia his dire
c-
; why the church should' respond faith
fully to Vhe last cent of its promise,
and even beond the mere le'ter. As
nature i3 s:id to abher a vacuum so
the model steward adhors a deficiency.
He will not allow it, if in the range
of possibilities. He will pray and
plead and work until the foul blot Is
cracdjl j;. ' '
The model steward is a liberal man
He will set his people an example of
large and unselfish giving, as well as
of fidelity in office and lonlines in
life. He will have an eye, a heart, a
hand, not only to keep his pastor
fioni actual reed, but from any con
tern as to the' generosity of his sup
port; not only supplying hi3 present
wants but anticipating the future.
He i!l not only labor to pay up the
last cent of the outgoing pastor's
claim, will manage the church Guan
cies as to have a surplus in hand to
to greet the incoming pastor. The
steward who allows his pastor to wait
among strangers till the first Quar
terly Conference fur financial help is
far from being a model The model
steward labors as hard to bring up
in full the first quarter aa the last,
for he knows his pastor needs it at
the first as badly, and, perhaps, more
so than at the last.
Thttjtnodel steward looks to his
functions outside of the finances. He
will not; allow his olfice l be narrow
ed and hardened by being the mere
financial agent of the church. The
steward is not only the Almoner to
disburse the alm3 of the church, but
it is his duty io seek out the needy
and distressed, not only to give finan
cial aid, but to comfort the distressed.
This will enlarge his 'sympathies,
keep his heart mellow, his solicitudes
vilioant. The steward dishonor
God and prostitutes and enslaves his
church by looking at every member
from a moneyed standpoint, and
measuring tho new convert by the
dollars and cents value,

therefore, be serious, titter no trilling
word, speak as in hi3 preiencc and to
the glory of his great name. You are
to continually pray and endeayor
that a holy harmony of stul may in
all things subsist among you, It
will be seen how spiritual conditions
were part of the conditions of the of
fice of Methodist steward For these
times of secular handling of sacred
things these directions are a good
tonic. '.
The model steward i3 concerned
about raising ihe collections and
ii.eeiing in full the assessments, but
beyond this and of far greater im
portance -ho labors diligently to train
his people into liberal spjrhual giv
ing. He is concerned about securing
the present demand in full, but he is
more concerned that his people be
educated in the Bible principle- of
2ivins. His methods Ivtfk more to
lhat parraanent and salutary end
than to the present, as importaad as
-
it is.
The model steward loolp also to
