THE DAILY BEE-MONDAY , MAY 18. 1885 ; m COUHCILBIUFFS , ADDITIONAL LOCAL. A PEEAdHER'S ' DUTY , It Is Outlined by the Kov. O. Crofl'u Ycstordny , The following sermon was preached nt the Congregational church ycsteeday : 'Tor wo preach not ourselves , bnt Chriit Jesus , the Lord ! and ourselves your servants for Jesus sake. - 2d Cor , ! C , This text suggests to our minds the duty and position of the chrlttlan minister. It is their place to proclaim the word , The word LOR a largo meaning , If wo look at It In its length and breadth , hcighth anil depth. In Iho first place the duty of the minister it to proclaim komothlnjr. To give our certain proclamations and -jcrtain statements , anil thoBfl proclamations md statements , are to bo the words of Christ and his goipcl , and the plan of salvation for a lost and mined world. Then in the second ploco the minister is a sorvant. The original word fnm which minister - tor Is derived might bo tran la\oJ slavo. Ono who is not his own master but < roes foith at the bidding of another person. The minister of the gogpol is not called to Uictav , to Christ iana ! not to ontrol as ho personalv gees fit M though the church were hia own peculiar property , but is placed there by and ( Or the saku of his Lord and Master to eoir0 t10 ] church B Now , thn minister of the Lord Jesus tirist isput in places of high authority and lfla. , once , vet alter oil he occupies that posilon only as a servant , no matter how high tlat position m y ba. Llko as in this ropubUc/a government , The government officers intb > truest sense of the word are servants. Wi are not made fnr them , nor the government dented for them , but they are created for u and wo place thorn in their positions of nt. Ihorlty aud have reverence for them as out servant * , to do pur biddjng , to BOO tlmt the | laws nro properly administered , and to laior for us and our good as individuals , and fjr the good of the land and nation. The pre - dent of the United States should subscribe hlmtolf not as n ruler , but na n humble anc most obedient servant. I Having pointed out the prominent ideas of the text , let ua analyze them very briefly. Jjot us look at the great office of the minister oi the gospel. Ho Is n proclaimor. Wint aboil ha proclaim ? Lot us look to the Apatlo Paul , tha great teacher , for the answer of ( his question. lie says , "Wo preach notourseleg , but Jesus Christ , the Lord.1 The work toy bad before thorn was to Introduce Christ , nd his tiuth , and his gocpel. Christ , who ras eent Into the world for the redemption of tu rns nity. They were to go out , and tosh thuso things to man. Piml and Potcr nnd JBarnabm did nob-o through all the known world advertiser themselves , delivering lectures nnd Bormig nnd orations that mankind might becog acquainted with their existence. But tb went forth telling the people of Chrl "Wherever they wont the burden of their HOT was : Joy to the world , the Lord has como , Let ? arth receive her King ; Lot every heart prepare his room , : And heaven and nature sing. " They had something better than their owoof virtues or wiidom or knowledge to set beforomu the people. Something to nil their souls wlthjif lofty ideals of holiness , love , purity and self- , BacriOca. M'hoy had teen Christ , known1011 Christ , and had been died with the reverence of Ills presence. The humility of the apostle Paul Iu the presence of Christ is to my mind a subject worthy of thought nnd consideration , The admiration of tha apostles for the Master brings to our minds a conception of what Ho inuiit have boon to them. How much they thought with reference to Jesua , what they thought _ of liim , and what their considerations were for this blesaod Redeemer , His character , His life.Hia tiuth , ills holiness , ilia mission , There was an intinitudo In reference to this Savior that iilled and trebly tilled their whole nature , their thoughts and their hearts. The apostle L'aul wns acquainted with all the lore of the agoj. But when ho puts Christ alongside of them , ho sees them sink into In significance as Christ grows until hia ona ab sorbing desire and hia greatest ambition is to proclaim his Saviour to mankind. Hero is a testimony well worthy of consideration. Ho says "I have determined not to know anything among you except Christ and Him crucified. There was nothing the apostle could think of. nothing which his mind dwelt upon except Christ uud him crucified. To him this knowledge was a fact of all absorb ing interest , and Christ Is an interesting study. The devotion of Paul was an over mastering dovotion. Oh , that wo might have something of that spirit ! lucarrjiog out this mission ho sacrificed his life , liutitwasno : vain ambition. Many great men have BO perished , Tnoso that were liviucr in splendor , honor , riches , and glory at the tlmo this humblu apostle went about teaching Cnrist , have been for ages buried in oblivion , but behold the fame of this faithful servant of Jeans to-day. Yen remember of Captain Webb , who lost > his life by endeavoring to swim tha rapids of the Niagara river some time ago. It is stated by i ( inio of the papers that he did this to make himself known. To make his name be blown around the world as ono who ad bravtd so daring an act. It was a selfish am bition that possessed him. llo lost his life , , and nothing also wan lost. How was it with Paul ? Ho lost his Ufa in the world , not that he , but that the Lord Jesui Chtist might ba known and loved , and 1C- ceptod by faith aa the redeemer of mankind . Now this Paul's mission and the was , mis sion of all the ministers of tbo gospel of Jesus , , Wo nro to preach , not ourselves , but UK Christ crucified. This should be done for the ; beat of reasons. In the firat place because. Jesus is the only Savior of mankind , You cannot save yourself , and no man iu the world can s vo you. Your learning , wealth and , power oinnot siivo you. There Is only on savior of tlio soul , and that is Jesus. Huvo not wo hero A eullictent reason for proclaiming this Christ into the world. Christ is the only hope for a blessed immortality . , Wo have no assurance except that which ty.wo Imvn obtained in Jesus Christ. I think nov of these blessed words of Jesus In which hi saja tlmt because Ho live ? , wo shall live also . They ara the only words upon which wo couli possibly place our hope for everlasting life. A more interesting question than tbo origin of man is his destiny. Not from whence did we coino , but whither are wo tending is the great question of the hour. When a man becomes - comes Involved iu sadness and Borrow theSe question is , how shall ha bo relieved t So Christ is all in all to us. All that is said , on the ono hand should have a tendency to oad men to rocognlzo Ohrlet , and on tlio othe , hand to enable us to realize Christ in the ' humnu soul. 1O W A IN 1'lISOUa.

"The engineers appear to have a strong belief in the atrango fatality that seems to attach to some engines and not altogether without ciuto.

She waa wrecked at least half a dozen times within a few months from varioua causes , and wo never felt confident when she was on the road.

Returning to the house , our uneasiness Is Increased by the fact that only two men show themselves the man the honso , a hearty old gentleman over six feet tall end heavy in proportion , and his son-ln law , a young preacher. At the supper table the old gentleman asked if wo had met any of Leo's men sines the surrender of Appomntox , and wo re pile , that wo had mot a good many.
