Clys­ dale is to be inducted into his nc-w charge'Thursday evening. .. On Sunday two large congrega­ tions gathered to hear the final mes­ sages of his pastorate, Main Street Exeter. Many of the townspeople also being present with the congre- ' gation in the evening. - In the morning the subject was "The Unprofitable Made Profitable.” based on II Timothy 4: 11. Mr. Clysdale pointed out how John Mark became a failure and how the apostle Paul looked upon him as liability as far as the ministry was concerned. The missionary campaign was not to his liking so he became a quitter. He emphasized as the cause of this loss of enthusiasm for the church’s task, a lack of devotion to Christ ■and his Kingdom and an unwilling­ ness to meet the Master’s test of dis- cispleship. “If any man will come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” The cross, he explained is too often used as a beautiful ornamem to hang about the neck instead of re­ cognizing it as the instrument upon which om- must be willing to die to self and the world. But the happy i circumstance in Mark's li.e was tlA ; fact that he became profitable. He showed how Paul’s sharp rebuke nad meant more to Mark’s recovery than the charity of Barnabas, outlining the need for sermons that will chal­ lenge to wakefulness rather than a sedative to produce deeper sleep. He explained how Peter also had no small part in Mark's restoration be­ cause of his experience with Christ after the. Denial, become profitable to begin again. In the evening for his text Phil.
