Fresh From University Halls, New Christian Pastor Opens Work in Lo cal Field Salvation of Souls Should Be Chief Mission of Any Church. . r Ford Ellis, the new minister of the Central Church of Christ, preached to a large and interesting audience Sun day morning. The subject of the ser mon was "Soul Winning." He said In part, that the primary mission of the church was not to have a large audi ence, the most trained choir or the most Intellectual preacher, but the solvation of . souls. And when the church loses sight of this purpose, It Is nigh unto death. He said that the requisites of a soul-winner are In the reach of all. One must be a conse crated Christian, not one of these wishy-washy that have cold feet In July. He must have the spirit of love, a man of patience, a man of prayer and a constant student of Pod's word. rtev. Ellis has just completed a four years' course in Cotner university, Lincoln. Neh. He comes to the- Lu Grande church freBh from the univer sity halls. It is hoped that his stay In this city may be profitable anl pleasant for him and the congregation with which he labors. A SUDDEN.
