A PEEAdHER'S ' DUTY ,

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.

"The engineers appear to have a strong

luggoatlon that he might bo able to help old
out in this regard , Squire Wooda said latter
had'nt a hoiae or mule on his place , reap ,
after i breakfast wo took the liberty to ut
, and found aoven head concealed inucl

night and a arted out f g in , It waa
exciting life anu full of Bi
ittraotlon and variety. At limes > pector
were twenty miles from iubl
command , and never passed a house ently
without making Inquiries aa to tbo men
whereabouts of the confederate cavalry , him
hung on the ilanka cf Shermtn'e aw
from Atlanta to Savannah , thence , bat
Sjnlh Carolina and North Carolina it the
Goldsboro , and all along the march
westward from GoWaboro. One day I

through the wooda and came to a little
, where , In reaponso to my "hollol" At
old gontlenun walked leisurely out to

"How Ion ? slnct1 ?
"Not so terrible long scnco. A com
pany of Mr. Wheeler's hess soldiers
wont down that air road a while ago , "
said ho.
"How long ago ? "
" 1 can't jlst toll for sattln aa to iho

very gate , nnd they rid away jiatns I
commenced a shnvin' ' , and now 1'vo jlst
finished. You mout guess about how
I long ' it would ( ako a man to shave ,

I waa riding on excellent horse and
the abruptness with which wo turned and
dashed b ck the way wo came and tarried
not ' until wo rejoined the ( quad was
very startling to the old gentleman who
stood at the gate , continuing to shed in
formation about the hess soldiers. Ho
may bo at that gate yet for all I know ,
and still talking.
On the 17th of April our parly took
possession of a grist mill , hauled in all
the corn to bo found within quite n cir
cuit aud turned out an excellent quality
of meal which wo sent in to the brigade.
At thla time the
two armies were on-
damped a few miles from each ether ,
and woods full of confederate soldiers on
their way homo from Loo's army ,
WITH GRAFT'S PAROLES
nt their pockets. While at this mill Dick
Jones and I ride out into the country
eight > ! miles ono afternoon , with a view of
spending : the night cat a farm hpnto , and
at dusk , ( n the mldatof a dashing thun
der storm galloped np to the door of a
comfortable ! looking dwelling , An old
lady comes out on the porch and in reply
to our question ns to whether she will
allow ua to stay all night says , "well , I
suppose you'll ' stay anyway , whether I
say eo or not , " and orders a colored boy
to show us where to put oar horses In
the . barn. While wo are talking wo see
three < men run to the honso and take
shelter under the porch. In caring for
our horses wo are careful to got a good
idea of the surrounding and to know just
whore our saddles and bridles are placed ,
for wo agree that as thcro are three
men there , doubtless armed , nnd
only ; two of us Dick being
nrmed with a rifio only , and 1 with a
sword that would hardly cut a equash in
two it might bo advisable for us to slip
but quietly later on and go hack to the
mill again. 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.
"
"If you should moot ono that had no
parole you would capture him and send
him to prison up north ? " ho continued.
Wo \ responded that , on the contrary ,
would not bo molested that wo were
glad to see them go homo , whether par
oled or not.
Returning to the sitting room , our
boat attempted to entertain us , but waa
very nervous and excited. Ho would
suddenly got up and leave the room , and
then return and apologize , mcanivhllo
exchanging looks with ether members of malt
family : , all of which did not tend to
create in the minds of Jones and myself
that peaceful calm and mental ropoao
which might bavo been desired , Fmally
he , "Tho reason 1 asked about
Lea' men was , I bavo a relative who
coached homo lately from LOB'S army ,
tvlthout a parole , and I didn't want him
captured , that'a all. "
Then we know that the "relative" Nebi
iforcsaid was the third man we had seen
the porch , and was convinced that he
CONCEALED NEAtt BY.
Ae wo talked the old gentleman gained
ionfidenco , told ns that the relative waa
own boy nnd that ho would bring
into the room if ho conld depend on
neb i taking him prisoner. Wo urged
to bring him in , that instead of his
