Ibc inslallatilua aerrlrra bring mndnrted by Iter. J. I. Morgan. D. D., of Salisbury, president nf the Ncrth Carotins Lutheran Synod. As the text of his sermon. Dr. Morgan chose I Timothy 4:12 Let no man desp'Hp thy youth : be tbou sn example of a believer, in word, in conversation, in love. In faith, in nur- tty," outlinglng the example a ptitnr dumbi set for hi eongregatiiin. and the obligation that the moinlier are under to follow the example. The sermon was lo Isith the iastor ami Hie congregation. By Isdng tin example in the word, the speaker explained, is meant not only in Ihe use by the iiintor of -bobs' language and clean specf-h. but also that he should ls careful In the word he preaches, that he preach the suing truth. The members should follow the example in the use of their words, making use of no words which offend, and having regard for the feeling, of others. In his conversation or manner of living, said Ir. Morgan, the preacher or pastor should set a Godly example. This is the easier to do Is'fore. a people who do the same way. The actions of n congregation will reflect on what the pastor is. and it is iniMirtant that the mm of living of each member should be a good example to others. But the example In word nnd in manner of living. If they do not rope from the heart are only falsi' and will have-' no effect unless there. 1 love at the bottom of it all. Love or charity Is at the bottom of all right living, without charity these things are but as sounding brass or a tinkling tfmbal" ) here true love nliounds. then there will be, evidences of that love, which Is faith. Faith in the word is the force which will make the message of a preacher satisfy both the mind ami soul of his hearers. The iiastor should have the fnith that saves, and the faith that serves. A faith that does not manifest itself in its work is a dead faith. If the congregation lias the true fnith, it will nut lie satis lied to sit idly by and keep this faith to itself, but will be. a working nnd active congregation. The Objective flint the church needs to set for Itself today is the saving of souls n real, active work, which will lie an evidence of our faith. The, pastor and the Christian should be an example in purity, continued Dr. Morgan, who called attention to the awful tragedy which is enacted when a in mister is made a castaway. Or when a menila'r of a congregation lie oomes an object of reproach. Tile lives of the pastors and the people should be of purity, aud should to some measure reflect the image of their Creator, who is all-pUre. Dr. Morgan then officially Installed the. Rev, Mr. Thomas as pastor of the St. .lamps congregation, placing the Synod's stamp of approval upon the pastor's acceptance of the call extended to hlia Inst summer hy the local con gregation. The service was attended hy a large congregation, nnd special music hud been arranged hy the choir for the oc casion. FIVE PERSONS LOSE LIVES IN FIRE Father and Four Children Burned.
