Put out all knowledge, all literature, 
all advancement, extinguish the torch 
of them all, and the race that found 
them will in time restore them. 
«But once put out the light of the 
blessed Bible, awakening a morning 
in a hundred lands, filling the dark 
valley of the shadow of death with the 
golden beams of the Son of Righteous- 
ness; the candle of the soul; the 
torch of earth; the glory of the skies ; 
once put out this light, and there 
remains no more altar at which a 
world’s hopes can be rekindled, and, 
therefore, 
“¢ Should all the forms that men devise 
- Assail my faith with treacherous art, 
I’d call them vanity and lies, 
And bind the Gospel to my heart.’” 
Rev. W. H. Eaton, D.D., of Boston 
made the ordaining prayer. 
Rev. H. J. White said in extending 
the hand of fellowship to Mr: Brews- 
ter: “It. is a great privilege to me 
to represent that noble order of Baptist 
ministers in extending to you — one 
raised from the common people — the 
hand of fellowship. 
«First, I want to remind you that 
the fellowship is one of separation 
unto Christ. You may wear a red 
necktie, you may whistle the popular 
airs on the street, you are a man, but 
remember, that from this time on you 
are in a class by yourself. 
«Then again, I welcome you to a 
fellowship of suffering with Christ, to 
a fellowship of service for Christ, and 
to a fellowship of satisfaction in 
Christe 
«The charge to pastor ’’ was given 
by Rev. C. H. Wheeler of Danvers, 
who said in part: 
“You are for the service of the 
Lord and for the helpfulness and 
welfare of the people. Look out for 
your body; make it the best body 
possible. Look out for the mental 
equipment ; make that the best. And 
lastly, cultivate your spirit.”’ 
Rev. Alexander Blackburn, D.D., 
of Salem was very interesting in his 
“charge to church.” Said he: 
‘‘T once heard a minister charge the 
church to ‘talk him up,’ ‘pray him 
up,’ and ‘pay him up,’ and the man 
only stayedsix months. I don’t know 
whether he got his pay or not. 
‘«‘ There are three words in the New 
Testament which we should under- 
stand. They are ‘elder,’ ‘bishop,’ 
and the other word is ‘pastor,’ the 
sweetest of them all. I charge you to 
help him in the course of education he 
has laid out, so that he may become 
the elder. The bishop is to oversee 
the church, but I am afraid some 
churches (not this one) get that 
twisted. They make it their business 
to oversee the pastor. But I charge 
you to recognize the place of the man. 
I charge you to do team work. , If 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
you do as good team work this fall. as 
the Harvard foot ball team do you 
will accomplish something. Recognize 
that he is your bishop. 
‘‘ But the best word in this relation 
is pastor —shepherd. He leads the 
flock. If you are more willing to 
hear the cry of the wolf than the 
shepherd, the pastor cannot do much. 
It is his place to see that his people 
are not eaten by these ravenous 
wolves. 
“You can lead young people to the 
truth, but you can’t make them take 
itin. You can’t do much with a man 
who pores over a newspaper till the 
last bell rings on Sunday morning. 
Look out for your appetite; come 
here Sunday morning with your mind 
clear of the ways of the world. It 
wouldn’t hurt you if you read your 
Bible an hour before you came to 
church.” 
Then followed the singing of the 
ordination hymn, written for the occa- 
sion by Rev. F. B. Sleeper of Rowley 
and-fitted to the tune of Louvan. 
(az) Born midst the city’s mighty throng 
A child, like Samuel, given to God; 
Taught to be wise, noble and strong 
Christ’s gospel to proclaim abroad. 
(6) Honored his pastor here tonight 
Who led him to our Savior Lord, 
Making the vision clear and bright 
In glory shining from God’s Word. 
Oh, Holy Ghost, set Thou Thy seal 
Upon our brother here this hour ; 
In Christ inspire him to reveal 
God’s truth and love with wondrous 
power. 
Through him make bare Thine arm to 
save : 
Build Zion large with glorious might: 
Inspire his heart, trustful and brave 
For Christ’s great work: for holy writ.

and largely received his education there. (4) He was 
converted under the preaching of Rev. J. L. Campbell, 
D.D., and baptized in 1896.] 
Rev. F. L. Wilkins offered the con- 
cluding prayer, and the pastor, Rev.

tion. 
Ministers’ Council. 
Tuesday afternoon, in the vestry of 
the Baptist church in Manchester, a 
council of the ministers of the Salem 
Baptist association was held, which 
took the form of a farewell to Rev. 
F. L. Wilkins, who has this week left 
Gloucester for his new pastorate in 
Portland, and to Rev. H. J. White of 
Beverly, who goes to a new pastorate 
in the West soon. Theafternoon was 
passed very pleasantly, the speeches 
being for the most part reminiscent of 
the vacations of the various pastors 
this summer. Supper was served by 
the Ladies’ Aid society. 
Watches repaired at H. B. Win- 
chester’s, Jeweler, Post Office square, 
Gloucester, Mass. *
