I would say to the Church, in relation to this property —

I. APPRECIATE IT. What on earth so valuable as a true gospel ministry? In it you have, as a rule, the most richly cultured intellect, the highest order of genius, the most disinterested services, the most sanctified sympathies.

II. PROTECT IT from worldly cares, secular embarrassments, social slanders. Take care of it — it is more precious than gold.

III. USE IT. You have eternal treasures in these earthly vessels. Take care, and get from them the "pearl of great price."

IV. THANK GOD FOR IT. It is given to you in trust. You must give an account at last.

(Caleb Morris.)
