INSTALL PASTOR AT
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
January 18th at a called mooting
of the congregation of the First Pres
byterian church of tliln city, moderat
ed by the Hot. S. JI. King of Brtdge
rort, ft call was given to the IUv. A.
J. Kcarus to become the pastor of the
church, Kev. Renins having served
heretofore as Stated Supply to this
church. The call was presented In
the due order of business at the Slat
. ?d spring meeting of Presbytery In
session at Mitchell, April 20-21. The
all was found in order by the Pres
bytery and placed In the hands of
ltev. Kearna, who accepted the call
and a committee of Presbytery was
appointed to Install Kev. Kcnr.is as
pastor of the Allianco church.
Wednesday evening of this week a
committee of the Presbytery of Box
Butte composed of Kev. It. V Tay
lor, D. P., assistant secretary of home
and sabbath school missions for the
Synod of Nebraska? Kev. S. II. King,
M. A., pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Bridgeport and Kev. Sam
uel Light D. P., pastor of the Pres
byterian church of Sidney, conducted
a very Impressive installation service
at which time the Kev. A. J. Kearns
was Installed pastor of the Presbyter
Ian church at Alliance. Kev. Mcarl
C. Smith, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church of this city read the
Scripture lesson. Other local pastors
who had a part In the service were
unable to attend, owing to other en
gagements that Intervened.
Rev. K. W. Taylor, P. P., Moderat
ed the meeting and preached a very
effective sermon from the text of
realm 143:2, "And enter not Into
judgment with thy servant, for in thy
sight shall no man living be Justi
flde." Keferlng in the couiso of his
eermon to the forward movements of
the churches and the Interchurcu
World Movement he said that the
churches were forming a new type of
organization which was destined to
become more effective and our ability
to use It more expertly as time mov
ed on. He compared it to tho early
attempts to use the Tanks In the
great war. They were not very ef-l
fective at first but created a great
sensation, but finally as they wer
perfected they were effective In des
troying fortresses and moved over
the trenches, so the new type of
church organization for the new day
will become more powerful and able
to level the fortresses and intrench
ments of evil.
Rev. Taylor also propounded the
constitutional questions to the pastor
and people and led in the prayer ot
Installation.
Kev. King gave the charge to the
pastor and Rev. Light gave the
charge to the people.
Kev. King pointed out the nature
of the Pastoral office and its de
mands In these times. Its need of
the broadest scholarship and a keen
sympathy with the understanding of
men. He said, "Study the Book,
study books, study men." Ills text
was from 11 Timothy, "Study to
show thyself approved unto God a
workman that ncedeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the Word
cf truth."
Rev. Light presented the Impor
tance of the church to the commun
ity, and the necessity of the church
to follow its ordained leadership in
whose hearts is a dynamo of power
for the Kingdom of God. He said
that the Presbytery stood not only
to Bee that the Minister was true to
his Ordination vows but also to Bee
that the people were true to their
vows to the church. These messages
together with the musical members
made a very Impressive servcie. By
special request Mrs. Rheln sang a
solo, "The Lost Chord", with organ
and piano accompaniment, played by
