FitzGerald for bis third lecture on Church, follow- ing a supper served by the Women's Auxiliary at the Y-M.C.A, Monday evening. Those who attended found the subject of "The Christian Minis. try" just as interesting as the for- mer lectures. The canon, in dealing with the "Christian Ministry," stated in part, "With respect to the government of the earliest church, the most im- portant consideration appears to be that the Christian ministry was de- veloped not from below but from above. We do not find that the first members of jt raised some from among their numbers #0 a position higher than the equality on which they had all originally stood, but on the contrary that the apostles having been at first the sole deposit- ories of their Lord's commission with all the power which it confar- red afterwards delegated to others as their substitutes, assistants, or succesors such portions of their pow- er as were capable of 'being trans- mitted and as were necessary for the continuance of the church. "In this way were appointed first the order of deacons for the dis- charge of secular afministration and of the lower spiritaal functions; next that of presbyters, elders or bishops for the ordinary care of congrega- tions, and lastly the higher powers of ordination and government were in ko manner imparted as the apos- tles began to find that their own body was from its smallness unequa? to the local superintendance of the growing church, and as the advance of age warned them t¢ provide for { the coming time. "An advocate of the episcopal theory of apostolic succession: is under no necessity of arguing that there must needs have been three orders in the ministry, or that there need have been more than one. It is enough to say that those to whom the apostles conveyed the full pow- ers of the Christian ministry were not the deacons nor the presbyters, but (in the latter meaning of the word) the bishops, and the existence of the inferior orders as subject to these is a simple matter of history. "It is evident that the ministers of: the church beginning with St. Matthias were usually chosen by thé body of believers but it seems equal ly clear that it was the apostolical ordination which gave them thel= commission, that commission being derived from the head of the church who had bestowed it on the apostine, that they might become the chan- nels of conveying it to others." ------------------ Election of C. 0. ©.
