Folioy holders will be pleased to know, however, that their in. towns are being guarded along these lines by the Direotors and it is probable that in future a more searching enquiry may be made 00 that nothing but legiti- mate claims clearly proven will be paid.

Last Sabbath was the 22nd anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. John Roes, B, A., in oonneobion with Melville churoh in Brussels, It bas been -,bis oustom to an- nually preach discourese having reference to these milestones in ohurob relations of a moat happy and successful oharaoter and last Sabbath was no exception to the rule. The morning sermon was a splen. did one and was based on the text "The seventy returned again with Joy," Lithe 10:17. The minister said :—These were men whom Christ had chosen from among his followers and sent forth to preaoh the Gospel. Having toiled for a time, they returned with joy. It is not to be inferred from this that their work was cheering and encouraging fn every respect. They doubtless found, as their Mester himself did, and ae ell true minis- ters have found, that the task of preach- ing the Gospel to sinful men is beset with many and great diffioulties, so that the Christian minteter is no stranger to sor- row. He has griefs enough and trials enough, eeasone that are dark and dis- ooursgements that make him sore ab heart. But there is n brighter side to the work, a side of sunshine and cheer, as these seventy experienced as they re- turned to their Master with joy, and it is of this aspect of ministerial work that we shall speak today rather than of those experiences which have darkened a min• ister's life and broken many a minister's beast. My theme is "The Joys of the Christian Ministry." These are many. There is to the minister of the Gospel (1) The joy wbioh arises from a partioipa- tron in the work. His task is to preach the Gospel, that is, to proolaim to lost men the good news of Christ's salvation, and it is therefore a work which may well fill him with gladness as he prosecutes it. The seventy tasted of this joy, as did the angels who made the first great Gospel announcement on the morning of Christ's nativity. Christ himself experienced it ab the well of Syohar, where it was strengthening and stimulating to him as his necessary food and Paul shared rich. lyin the same joy. Dr. Norman Mac - Lewd eeid that he would not exchange his position as a minister for all that be had seen fn camps and courts, at home and abroad, and declared that it was one that kings might well envy. Whitfield, the day before he died, wished onos more to engage in his beloved task, and then re- turn to his death -bed, so much delight did he take in it. There is joy in all true work, but in preaching there is a joy wbioh none but preachers know ; (2) There ie also the joy which arises from the appreciation of his people. In the work of the ministry there is room and need for much of sincere and warm- hearted sympathy. Christ often felt the lank of this, on one occasion being so solitary that he exclaimed "I am alone." MoLanobhon, despondent in the work of Christ, took heart again when he learned how many there were sympathised with and prayed for him 1 and Spurgeon has left it on record that the manifest appre- ciation of his people greatly strengthened his bands in hie arduous labors. While the great Apostle experienoed the opposi- tion of winked and ungodly men, he was gladdened by the knowledge of the interest and friendship of some, "who would, if it were possible, have taken out their own eyes and given them to him." (8) There is likewise the joy which is pro- duced by the presence of Christ. Christ's presence is promised to all his people but there ie a epeoial promise to preaobers of the Gospel. "Go ye and preach, and lo, I am with you always." Paul was cheer. ed by the fulfillment of this promise: "The Lord stood by me, and strengthen- ed me, bhab by me the preaching might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might bear." Every minister therefore may take heart and cour- age. ourage. In prepantng the message he is to Bit at Christ's feet ; in delivering the message Christ will stand by his side, so be may do bis work with gladness ; (4) There is the joy which springs from the promise of success. These promises are many and splendid, alike in the Old Testament and in the New. The seventy labored not in vain, nor Peter at Pente- cost, UPS Christ's messengers in later days, and the evidences of success in their work filled their hearts with a holy gladness. When the the late Dr. G. L. McKay, of Formosa, saw tomb God was about boi e him his first convert, h g vo scarcely slept that night, s0 mach and joyously was beaffectea, ed an d before his death he and his native assistants had gathered in more than 2,000 souls o th 4 e great joy of their hearts And as the work of grace progresses iu the hearts of his people, the minister has a source of joy from wbioh he drinks with humble but great eatisfaotion, rejoioing that the Lord, m000rding to Hie word, is pleased to nee him. (6) There is the joy whioh is oonaeobed with the future reward. If faithful, he shall receive from the chief Shepherd "a orown of glorythat fadebh notaway." he a sake 1 T speaker o Deed by urg- ing that himself arta his people, in enter- ing upon another year's labor together, should seek to serve Christ as keeping in view that great day when every man's work shall be tried as by fire. Not a few hearty congratulations were extended to the esteemed pastor by his flock,' ae the congregation was dispersing, over the auspioi0ue conditions existing for so many years.
