pect him to be ever an example of 
piety, of good cheer, of charity, of 
wisdom, of honor, of independence — 
a lover of men and of God. That will 
go along ways toward making him 
such; which is our best wish and 
prayer for both you and him.”’ 
Rev. C. ARTHUR LINCOLN, 
Who was Ordained at Manchester last evening. 
In the “ charge to pastor,”’ by Prof. 
A.R. Merriam, of the Hartford The- 
ological Seminary, the pastor was re- 
minded of the opportunity for rich in- 
fluence upon the whole community 
afforded by a town like Manchester, 
comparing such a field with a city in 
which a minister often only influences 
a small section of his environment. 
He also recalled the fact that if one- 
third of our population isin cities, 
two-thirds are yet in the villages and 
country. ‘ Aggrandize, therefore, in 
your thoughts the New England 
township as giving a great scope for 
vital work,” he said. 
The speaker divided his ‘‘ charge” 
into two parts, first: some charges to 
the pastor, and second: some charges 
to the preacher. As pastor he charged 
that Mr. Lincoln remember that the 
little platoon of the parish is the corps 
of the Army. 
‘Your main business here,’ he 
said, ‘“‘is to be pastor of this church. 
From this center you can exercise 
your richest influence as citizen lead- 
er. Do not under estimate, as many 
do today, the vocation of a curate of 
souls, or call ‘drudgery’ the daily 
round of the pastor’s office. You will 
never inspire men unless you are in- 
spired by men. You cannot get them 
into your life unless you care to get 
. them into yours.

‘* Remember as pastor that machin- 
ery is always in danger of dispensing 
with personality. Use machinery 
of organization, but do not abuse it or 
let it take the place of personal power 
or influence. Keep always foremost 
for power the pre-eminence of person- 
ality.” 
As preacher Mr. Lincoln was re- 
minded that no other profession has 
so much to do with the function of 
the living voice. To meet all these 
demands a man must have first, a 
gospel to preach and this gospel must 
get its needed measures of apprehen- 
sion from Christ, the many-sided 
Christ. He was charged to preach 
Christ in the largest, highest, broad- 
est conception of the divine Lord. 
‘With this vital center of thought,” 
said the speaker, ‘“‘you can be a larg- 
er, broader preacher of the truth, 
fearless and free.”’ 
In closing Prof. Merriam charged 
Mr. Lincoln that he could not be a 
strong preacher in these days without 
hard workand that he must have an 
enthusiastic love of his work and call- 
ing. 
Mr. Lincoln was welcomed to Man- 
chester by Rev. E. H. Brewster, pas- 
tor of the Baptist church, who said he 
welcomed him first as a_ resident, 
speaking of the attractions of the 
town, and of the North Shore. He 
welcomed him as a scholar, and spoke 
of the traditions connected with the 
early town history. He welcomed 
him as a citizen to enter into the 
activities of the town, and lastly, he 
welcomed him as a preacher and min- 
ister of the gospel and worker in 
Christ’s work, emphasizing the co- 
opertive function of their labors to- 
cether.
