NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
THEOLOGICAL STUDENT. 
Leaves Favorable Impression with 
Manchester Congregation. A 
Possible Candidate. % 
C. Arthur Lincoln of the Hartford 
Theological Seminary, who preach- 
ed at the Congregational church in 
Manchester two weeks ago, occu- 
pied the pulpit there again last Sun- 
day, large congregations greeting 
him at both the morning and even- 
ing services. 
Mr. Lincoln is a man of about 
thirty-two years, unmarried, and 
was graduated from Amherst Col- 
lege in 1902. He is now in the 
senior class in the _ theological! 
school and will receive his degree 
in June. Many think him a very 
favorable candidate for the pastor- 
ate of the Manchester church. 
Sunday morning Mr. Lincoln 
preached a strong sermon on God’s 
acquaintance with individuals, the 
purpose for the individual and the 
idea of characterizing or distin- 
guishing that purpose by giving it 
a name. He took his text from 
Luke 1:63,—‘“His name is John.” 
He ‘related the ‘incident “of “the 
naming of John, how the neighbors 
and kinsfolk of Elizabeth, the 
mother, came together according to 
custom to name the child, and how 
they marveled when he was called 
John, which was not a Jewish name. 
“God gives a name to every hu- 
man being,” said the _ speaker. 
“From our faith in Him we are con- 
fident that God knows persons. 
This idea evolves the idea of a pur- 
pose for this individuality and he 
characterizes or distinguishes that 
purpose by giving a name for it. 
‘No matter how frivolous a man’s 
life may be, or how busy he is, 
whether he desires to be known of 
God or not, it is impossible for him 
to escape being known. God, my 
father, is acquainted with me. In 
these days of extreme biblical criti- 
cism there may be exceptions to 
this. 
“He is a peculiar individual that 
stands in the eyes of God and man 
as distinct from anybody else. It 
is true that no man knows what a 
peculiar place any other man holds 
in life, and that ‘now we know in 
part, but then shall we know even 
as also we are known.’ 
“God has a place and a plan for 
every man; for you and for me; for 
friends, neighbors, rich and poor, 
enemies,—he has a place and plan 
for all. 
“If Roosevelt were named Smith, 
it would make no difference as to 
his purpose. .We call this man hon- 
est, that man tricky, and this man 
true,—but whatever the name, the 
name He has given us is appropriate 
to our place. What message of life 
does your name bear to the world? 
Do men read in your name that God 
is anxious to be a savior for every 
man from sin? 
“You carry some message. What 
is it? Plain and even homely 
names. Oh! yes; but beautiful, for 
they carry a purpose and plan of 
life. Let me beg of you that you 
live so that when you stand face to 
face with God your name will be a 
glorious crown of righteousness.”
