Gokl has grgatly magnified this- office,
and i£is a'COijjjIortfor ng to know that
the humblest Christian minister may
be enrolled withahe men of holy renown—even iSiifa tlie son of God. They
stand tor liiw, and his glory is won by
their triumphs.
"So also are the renpousibilities and

to retreat upon the life of God after
mastering and' to retire apart and
there hold communion with God. Re-
DWBber, that the transfiguration oc-
cured at Bight after a day of exhausting toil: Take heed} the tempations to
ourselves are very strong. We are
always giving out to people under the
gaze of men—always in demand, and
soirie-yvill try to steal awav the  inner
We.
f^fs&oard well your s^ndy—make it
sacred... Heed the doctrine. A preacher
j must have a message, which should be
i   the gospel of salvation -take heed to it;
dig deeply.   It requires  devotion  and
4pr*yer to. keep in line with the profes-|
mMdn. Souls are at stake; yon are to feed
^h*rfn,and your concern should ever be
|if you can feed them.   People are
|y,with toils  and  domestic  cares;
[tEey have not the leisure to secure the
peace and therefore they elect yon and
you are  to tell them of the vision and
bring them the treasures.    Your great
commission is to hold up Jesus,   the
light of the world. If .your work then
fails the -responsibility is  not   yours.
The -realization of your duty will make
souls and save sinners. Magnify Jesus,
and then the fruit will be  abundant.
Let the rule of Christ be   your motto
and learn of him liow te preach.   He
told of the, plain truth in a plain way
With common-words and illustrations.
He had sympathy and food for .ill and
spoke in love.   Even his  rebuke   was
full of pity.
"Take heed of them that hear you,
both 'pastor and people. You must
know your people. Stoop to conquer,
but also* to rise again. Keep your
standard of judgment high. Let your
heart be open and then he'i'wfll keep
you to tiie eternal life and: .you will
bring many souls to glory."
Dr. 'Billheimer then delivered the
charge to the congregation and spoke
on Thess. v: 21 and 13, "I may beseech
you, brethren, to know them whioh
labor among you and over yon in.the
Lord, and to admonish you and to esteem them very highly in love who
work for love's sake, and be at peace
among yourselves.''
He said, " Usually when .the congregation selects a pastor they are
anxious for proof of the test to see if
they have elected the right man, failing to accept the responsibility resting
on them in proving that they are
the right people.. The people expect the
minister to bring prosperity and success. Perhaps that is right and what
they may expect, but if matters do not
tut— out so favorably the congregation
says it has the wrong man.
"Tlie congregation holds the pastor
responsible for success or failure;   the
gastor being the leader, rightly has in-
uence to make the work successful,
but I do think that the congregation
has some share in the success or failure
of the work. While the pastor is
responsible, don't forget your part.
Yon are familiar with your duties.and
I can- -.only repeat  what you already
[know*
"lii order to succed you must always try to attend the church service
if possible. You must not expect the
[minister to preach good sermons if
there is no inspiration acorded him by
a good attendance. Your duty is in
God's house, just as truly as it is your
pastor's. Remember your pastor in
prayers. He needs to be lifted up to
God and then by this co-operation the
minister's heart will be light and fit
for the best service.' Speak well of your
pastor to outside.- people, but if you
can't say anything good of him don't
say anything unkind. Many a man
has been robbed of usefulness by being
cried down. Say something kind to
him also. He don't need flatten*, but
if he has preached you a helpful sermon thank him. Give manifestations
of your respect and esteem to the living; don't wait until after death to
heap" rosos of remembrance on the
.casket. -■
" Sometimes our pastor don't please
us/don't go about thoughtlessly peddling the faniliy secrets of the church
to a greedy public. A better way is
to go to him like a Christian ; talk over
the* matter, pray over it and reach a
better Understanding. . See to his
temporal wants. Pay his salary
promptly when due. If the treasury is
short don't let him feel it by giving
him only a portion of his salary,as his
salary is the ■ weather guage of the
church: The 'minister- is sensitive
about this and considers that it stand's
for the congregation's estimation of
nun. ' Support him in all his efforts,
stand by him, encourage him, cheer
him by being here and by remembering
him in prayer and by kind words, by
taking rare of him in his natural wants,
Dally around and support him, and I
am sure the union will be a pleasant
one and prosperity will result ana that
pastor and people may look back with
gladness of heart and call it in time
to come a blessed day.''
The vows, were-then administered to
Rev. Tholan, who answered the questions, being surrounded by his elders.
After whieh the new pastor ascended
to the pulpit and said, "You have
heard the instructions; may it be  onr
wild in this community.'
Announcements were then read and
the congregation sang' "How Beauteous are Their Feet Who Stand on
Zion, "after which Pastor Tholan pronounced the benediction.
After the service the congregation
gathered about the new pastor, congratulated him and extended the Tight
hand of fellowship as a pledge of their
support and esteem.
Bur_-l*tr_ Crack Hole io SellerNvllle.
At. some time after one .o'clock on
Thursday morning entry was forced
into Eisenlohr's cigar factory at Sellersville, for the purpose of looting
the place. Entrance was gained through1'
the office window, situated on the
second floor,- by prying open, the window.
The marauders were evidently
familiar with the plans of the building, and the "easiest place of access
Iknown. Nitro glycerine was used with
deadly effect on the. safe which was
totally demolished, and tbe f nrinture
ruined. All that rewarded their efforts,
however, was about 160 cigars,' whieh
they carried away with than. All
the money-had been removed from the
safe, as well as the stamps.
No clue to the -identity of the robbers
has been found, but it is believed they
are members of the same gang that
has been torroizing the outlying sections of Philadelphia, both oa the Main
line and on the North Penn Railroad.
Souderton has frequenty been invaded
recently. A store in Perkasie within
the last two weeks has been entered,
and numerous other towns near there
have been the victims of these midnight invasions.
Had there been any money in the
safe the thieves would have had a clear
field to get away with it, for all the
while they were there ,no one disturbed them. They forced an entry, blew
open the safe, and' made good their
escape, and were not once molested.
Eisenlohr's have several times been
entered, and each time the burglars escaped safely. Until better protection
is given the town, the same thing is
liable'to happen at any time.

Century-old Crime Assert* Transcript.
John Faber Miller, attorney for
Joseph Smith,of Springfield township,
committed at the last term of criminal court of maintaining a nuisance
in Flonrtown, filed reasons for a
new trial on Thursday. One of the
reasons is "that the transcript charges
or alleges the crime to have been committed on Ang. 24, 1804," tbe same
probably having been an . error on the
part of the copyist. Other reasons for
a new trial were as follows: That the
transcript of the justice does not
show that, information was made in
that case* <JiM
That ■ the defendant was ar_.,sted
without a warrant.
That the transcript does* not show
that any offense had been committed
bv the defendant.
'That the affidavit of Dr. John F.
McOloskey is not sufficient to support proceedings.
That the judge erred in charging the
jury, alleged errors cited*

The board of commissioners of
Springfield township held an adjourned meeting Thursday afternoon, assembling at tlie corner of Cheltenham
and Willow Grove avenues to view
with the commissioners of Cheltenham townsliip Cheltenham avenue,
which lies in both townships., with a
view of agreeing on a general plan of
macadamizing the whole avenue.
However, the Cheltenham commissioners were unable to attend, and the
Springfield hoard went over the situation alone.
Representatives of the Philadelphia
|Electric Light company met the board
at the hitter's request respecting the
proposition to light streets and avenues adjacent to the city line, up to
the borders of whicli tlie electric light
system is constructed': In order to
penetrate Springfield township, a subsidiary company has been created,
known as the Springfield Electric
Light company, and the commissioners are desirous of contracting with
them to light certain streets and to
transfer tbe Welsbach lights to the '
outlaying districts of tbe ' township,
where at the present time it' is impossible to secure electricity for this purpose.
The situation was thoroughly considered, and It was estimated that the
township,could utilize from 140 to 150
electric lights at present and with a
redistribution of the oil lamps illuminate Oreland, Church road, Wissahickon avenne, Mill road east and
west, Hawes lane, besides supplanting
the oil lamps in Wyndmoor and portions of Flonrtown. By tills arrangement the township roads will be pretty generally lighted, and it was decided to meet again on the 25th at the
home of the president, Mr. Crothers,
when the subject will be further discussed. /_
After the business"was transacted,
Mr. Dillenbeck, vice president of
the board, entertained the members at
his home and gave them a dinner.
DelMrhtfnll Concert In A mbler.
One of the very best concerts ever
held in Ambler Was given in Mount
Pleasant Baptist'church last Thursday
evening, when the Kew Century trio,
from the Labadie Lecture and Amnse-
ment bureau, was present. The church ■■
was well filled, and all present participated in the generous applause which*
greeted every number and demanded,
at least one encore to every selection-
on the program.
The trio is. composed of Helen Beatrice Reed, Jiar'pist; Jeannette Turner
Broomell, elocutionist, and Anna
[Brown Roberts, soprano soloist. Miss
Heed'established her reputation as an
artist of the first order on the har]*,
and the sweet strains of the expressive
and sweet-tobed instrument delighted
the audience add proved an appropriate number with whioh to open so
pleasing a program. Although suffering with a severe cold , Miss Roberts'
voice showed itself to be one of rare
sweetness, both strong and tender as
required and also capable of great
variety. Her selections were thoroughly in keeping with the high-class
program presented.
Miss Broomell lias been pronounced
"the finest interpreter of child life in
America," and certainly proved she
has a right to this distinction mi her
presentations. Petite in form and
charming in personality, she takes the
child parts with a naturalness whioh
is bewitchingly charming. Her"Last
Day at School" was* one of the best
ever delivered in Ambler. The- New
Century trio has established a reputation in Ambler which assures a crowded house when it next favors our borough with its appearance.
