THOMAS WITH THE JARVIS STREET BAPTIST CHURCH TORONTO : October, 1892. ii j - r> — Thoro. l8 an instrmnont upon which 1 (loHin». to play this morn iufj:, hut liow .shull 1 , und tiu; 8trinfi;sare the yearsof my Pastorate in this Church. Let us consider then (iL\)t llaricb lUclobn. Tills miirnificent instrument has ten strings. It is. as I have indicated, a period of time divided into so many years. It forms an important epoch in the history of each one of us. We ourselves, with our experiences and activities, hopes and fears, successes and failures, joys and sorrows, enter into it. We are as inscpar- abl(t from it as we are from our personality. We cannot touch any one of these strinjjfs with- out reproduciufr th(^ discords and harmonies of lfishn«;ss and sin would h*" so ovtirpowcrin^- Jis to drown all the .sweeter and diviiK'r nielodii's. I have little desire to listen to the accentnations of my own past life, it has bnen 80 marred with imperfeetions and failures that I can only hope that the g-reat God of love will for .lesns'sake tor<,-ivc. I would not dare to play on this instrument if all tliat 1 could brinjr out "f it was wlnit we had tliouiiht and don<;. (Jur lives, at the best, liave not had (^noui^h music in them to awalvcn a desire that they slioukl be re pro - lay uPcti (ithcr one oj these strings and there are to)tcs clieited that speak of iiOiVs hcnepecnee. * All these years have been years of blessing: ; we can but imi)erfectly estimate the multiplicity and mun- licence of the favors that have rested u])on us. It has been no small privilege to have lived so loniir surrounded by so many delifirhtful conditions and gracious ministries. "Our lines have fallen unto us in pleasant places, and our's has been a j?oodly heri- tatre." Our pith way h-.is led throuf^h si'eues of ever varied exhilarations. The instances have been rare when we hav,^^ been exposed to inconvenience or 4« * ma — s — (IJscomfoi't ; to tatii^ue or '.vc.ariiuj.ss. Our Goil has Imhmi to MS a sun and shk'Kl. He lias g-ivitii grace iumI jrlory. Xo really ji:ood tliinf>- hath he withheld Iroiii MS. He has planted us not in a wilderness, waste, and liovvling, and desolate, but in a ji^arden of inconceivable alHuence and beanty. Dark clouds have sometimes g\ithered around us, luit they have been radiated with sunshine. We have had times of we(^I)inf^', luit rainbows of promise and covenant have f^listenedon our te.ars, enablinji* us to see tin; opening heavens rv^n Avhen we faiPul to take pleasure in t\u\ smiling* earth. We have had to follow to the S(4>ule]ir(! many whom wedearl}' loved, but the circle of our friendship has widened in spite of the gates of death. We have had disappointments and sorrows, but our realizations and joys have exceeded Ihenk a thousand fold. We cannot touch the strings of these years which we ar<' now holding in review, eitlx'r singly or in combination, without being con- >iously as to iiiake religious living a deliglit. This has been a place of broad rivers and streams, and if any of us have Ikmmi barriMi and unfruitful we certainly cannot charge it to the Irck of vivifying and fructifying ministries. We have not made thi- most and best of our privileges, but God's ])ountifMlnes8 has never failed us. There have been failures through our inability to appre- ciate the largeness and purpose-fulness of the Di- vine tlioMirlit eoncernini'- us, and throujrh onr faith- lessncss to resiX)iKl to tlif Divine ctill to service and to conquest. We certainly slumlfl haA'e been i.iorc resplendent in character, and more imperial in achievement, in view of all that God's ii^race has done for us. Wc could not dare to boast in ourselves, but we will boast in the Lord, for in spite of our iiaiTOwness and feebleness, in spite- of our selfish- ness and worldliness, in spite of our inability to rise into th<», [full grandeur of that ideal of achieve- nuiut and possibility to uhich He has been incitinjius, w«'. have not be(Mi left without <'vidences of His favor. I have an instinctive distatite for anything that savors of th(^ egotistic. Th(^ sunnning- ui of the re- sults of spiritual activity by an imposinjk array of tigures has always appeared ro nie a vain-iilorious exhil)iti()n. J certainly do not l)elie\-e in the infalli- bility of the ])rinciples of arithmetic, as ai)plied to religious work. I Avould )iv ])rofoundly sorry to think that all the beneficent potency of this Church could be measured by any ])urely materialistic <'sti- niate. And y(^t we cannot altogether disregard such i'smts as have dev(do[)ed in the activity of these ten years. There is some music in them surely. They siieakof hundreds of souls whohave made sni ojk'u ju'o- fession of Jesus Christ; nndofthousandsof dollars that have been given to further the interests of Christian- ity iij this and other lands. It would not be possil le to dojustict' ^f^ the requirements of the occasion with- ont some reference to the Avork which has found crystalization in this way. This is my only excuse for giving it. On the second Sabbath in October, 1882, I commenced my Pastorate. The nu^mbershijj at that time numbered 718, which, ])y a careful r<>- visioTj of th{' roll, was reduced to '51l'. There have b iMIMM I — 10 — be.oii reocived by baptism 181', and by lc?ttor and (ex- perience r)18, making a total of Ui^. There bav!7.111.()0; tiie second, .«;i 0,529.00. For some years past it has been little less tlian i*l l.OOO.OO, Tlie total amount raised in tlie ten years is $l2(),H71).r)7. Out of this -sum 8(»1,.*57(>.00 luis been for benevolence. I leave these figures sjjeak for theuiselves. I do not maintain that they art; as lari^ely creditable to us as they niii^ht havelK'.en ; but there is, certainly, reason for profound thankfulness that during a period which has severely tested uiost of the Churches in tlie lower portions of the City ; durinj^ a period when tlie mij^'-iation of the membership to distant points has been alarmini^ly freipient, the coni,'regations Jiave. I)een but slifj:htly affected, and the eontributions of the Cbui'ch towards beneficent enterprizes outside of herself hav»' rather autrmented than diminished. Nor do these tii>"ures indicate all that oin* member- ship have done durinj^ the period under review. Large and generous contributious have been made toward^ dcMiomi national enteri^rizes, and some four thousand dollars contributed towards the erection of tlu! main edifice of the Beverley Street Church which wt)s formerly our Mission. The sources of benc^volence, as far as the individual .memlx'rs of tht^ Church are concerned, are not likely to run dry for the want of ])eing used. Ontario, and even the regions lu^yond, have come to believe that Toronto Baptists are inordinately and uncomfortably rich, and they are beiu'ficently determined to do .'ill within their i>ower to lessen both the discomfort and responsibility. 11 — The iiiflucnrt' which onrChuir.li hnsiixortotl during this decade of years cannot ho estimated. There is not a little Baptist community tlirous"hout the Ieni?th and breadth of the DonvIni(ni but hns felt tlu; throb of her quickcniiny: life. In Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, and on the slopes of the l^acific there are hundreds of spots wliich hav(> been made to J)loj som ))y hands vvhicli received their cunnintr within these sacred walls. As th(^ rills and rivulets that malce the widt^ plains fruitful have their sources in tl«e mountains, even so bas many a fountain ol beneficent influenc«> sprung u]) in the \\ ilderness, bi'causc! here the clouds were pierced which l)ore the moisture of the hea\'ens. Like the life i)lood flowing'- from the heart's central reservoirs into the extremities of the body, then? have ^one out from this Church im])ri'ssions and im- pulses that have quickened human lives for service and for conquest all over this broad land. We are profoundly sensible of the honor God has placed upon us in this re^^ard, and the responsibility which accompanies it should make us very humble. "Not unto us, not unto us, but uu*^o Thy j^reat name be all the ^lory." Every strlnt'; \ibrates with a melody which swells u])ward to the hijjrhest throne. 2 I play tipoti either one of tJicsc strings and there are tones elieited that speak of the Divine /leadership. The history of every true Church has an (Element i)f the supernatural in it. Israel in the wilderness was not more absiluti'ly led by an iuvisi])le hand, than we have been. When I tliink of the diversities of character, temperament, taste and quality, that have been united in the fellowship of this Church ; when I have re^-ard to the comphixities of relijE^ious thinkinjr that are woni to develop(> under "^Sfess^scfar* — ii' — tin' tVcc iiir of an ajrr like this ; when I n'mcinluT that thriv have coiiio into our (•(mnnuiiioii uu'ii ami \voin(Mi of vvicU^ly divovjicnt vi«'\vs in rcj^'-ard to sonic of tlie distinetivi' doctrinfs of the inspirod word, I have, hcen not a littli^ suTjn'ist'd tliat for so lonjLj: a period sncli perfect liarniony iinelievinji-. \\'e have not apiireciated our privile>;e,s, and made the most and best of our o])i)artunities. Well might <;od have cast us (►tf, and allowed us to write *'Icha- bod " upon our walls. But he has not dealt with us according to our des(»rts. \ touch <'ither one of these strings, or i»lay upon them in con)V>i!iation, and the nnisic might be thus interpn'tcMl : "The Lord, the Lord, merciful and gracious full of comjjassion and j)lente«^)us mercy." I. I play npon either one of these strings ami there is )nnsie elieited that shonld l)e an inspiration to its in all onr future life and li'ork. What (Jod has been to us in the past He will ho in the future. We have only tasted of the resources of His grace. He is able to do for us exceeding abun- dantly. Our barrenness and inefticiencv have al- ways resulted from (nu* lack of faith. In th«' meaerceptihly. The strings have not all been set to tlie same k(\v- In one th<^ ])laintive quality predominates, in tlie other tlu^ jubilant, but in combination they Idend into a har- njony suT»lime. (Wxl's judgments as well as His benedictions are exquisitely tuneful. But the music is not perfect until the Harp of grateful sensil>ility strikes in concert Avith "t)ie Harp of years." We must be able to say with tin' Psalmist, '' Ui)un the Harjj of ten strings will we sing," betor»' the iinest effects can be jirodnced. We nmst sing as well as j^lay to realize the ideal of melody as here set forth. The heart's exultant nmsic must interblend with the nuisic of the years to produce the harmony that befits the Being whose praises we would celebrate. 14 h) Qi\)t Accumulating llolumc. These ten years foniiiiijir one t,Tancl instrument of Inconceivable capacity, is sug-^estive of tlie sweep and compass of the aprgre^ated expression. Unlike an ordinary strin^-ed instrument this " Harp of years" has all the combinations of melody in eviTv striiij»-. Their union is not essential to symphonic i)erfectn»'ss. Sweet and varied music mij^ht be brouj^'ht out of 1882, or 18i)2, or any of the intervening years. The grand sweep and swell, " like the sound of many waters," bniaks forth when all tiie strings are swept, when (»very year i)ours out the full volume of its melody, when tlu* whole grand instrument is made instinct with responsiveness. Sueh music 1 would fain hav(! produced to-day, but 1 could not. I have tried, alas ! how feebly, with unskilful tingurs. To ex- perience the full capacity of tbis '• Marp of veurs " wc nuist be content to wait. ^I)c jJrrftct Snmpljouti. That will be on tlie otlu-r side, in the palace of the Kternal King, when the Master Artist Himself shall sweep the strings. Christian living may appear tame and connnonplace enough, as it moves wearily along, but there are qualities in it which will one day thrill the hearts of Angels. There is a whole ocean of imprisoned nnisic in ten years of life and work bent^ath the smiles of Heaven. When the Kedeenu'd ('hureh, that lias lived and loved and 1/i worshipptid within thos«' walls, shall stand in spot- loss purity bolbrc the Throne ; when all that is harsh and discordant shall have been eliminated, and {.ill that is true and genuine shall have been attuned to the concert pitch of Heaven's hi^h melody; then, and not till then, shall it be known how much of pathos and of piirposefulness has entered into our history. I have not followed this line of thouj>:ht with any idea of Churcli ^-lorilication. There has been ♦'iiouifh, God knows ! to mantle our cheeks with shame. If my aim had ])een to brin^ out the mere human elemmits in our relifrious living, I could have m idc the instrument pour forth tones that would m ike our ears to tins'le, and our very lu^arts to weep. t^or all in which we have failed to rise to that idt'al of purity and conseA'ration which our privileges have made possi]»le to us we sincerely pray to be forgiven, and for all that has b(Mui sweet and rich and regnant in our fellowship and S(»rvice we magnify the grace of God. Not to minister to our own vanity, but to e.xalt the name, and celebrate th(^ praises of our ever faithful God, have I sought to play upon this "• Harp of years." I cannot say my last word without expressing sorrow at the thouglit that so many of you who have waited on my Ministry have not become avowed followers of the Lord J esus Christ Y ou have cheered me with your presence. You have won a large place in my affections. You have been a nelp and a joy to me in many ways. I have fain believed that some of you were secretly the disciples of my gracious Lord. I beseech you do not leave this matter in uncertainty. You cannot become divinely musical until the new /I n? clionl ot tbrg-ivi'iiossi is iiusortcid into your liv(^.s. How- ever exemplary your character ''you must be l>orri Hj^aiu." However cxquisit*' your uatural endowments or moral qualities, there can be no real spiritual melody until the Divine Spirit has bc^^n at work. Come then this morning-, and let Him enter into your souls, and chanf^eyour hearts, and thus brinjjf you into unison with the best and sweetest life of the universe. *'And now may the God of Peace, that broug-hl a^ain from the dead Our Lord .iesns Christ that j4reat Shepherd of the? sheej), throus"h tb<' bUnMl of the Everla^tin.a: Covenant, make you i)erfect in every i^ood work, to do His will, workiniir in you that which is ph'asiuK" in His sight, through .lesus Christ, t(» whom l»e glory forever and ever.

JARVIS STREET, TORONTO. Seventeen years ago what was then Ivuown as the Bond St. Baptist Cluireli, under the inspiring and wise leadersliip of the late J. Harvard Castle, D. D., ♦'rected a new church edifice at the corner of Jarvis and Gerrard Streets. During- this time not onl>- the church hut the denomination generally has great cause for gratitude to the Giver of all good for the progress made and the blessings wliieh have sur- rounded them. So substantial and complete were all the apiK)intnients of this building-, that up to the present year, scarcely a dollar has been expended on it for repairs, ^yith the advent of this year, how - (H-er, it was felt that this could no longer be delayed, and during- the summer the main audience room has been entirely renovated, recaipeted and furnished M'ith electric lights, with a largre electrolier hanging- from the centre. The interior has been treated in strong rich tones of cx)lour, growing from a warm red at the ))ase through golden 1»rowns into light yellow / -- IH — at tin.' (ioiTK'.

Tliis brinirs us to notice; a still greater cause for gratitu(U\ With the re-opening of the building, Ur. Thomas, connnenced tin; eleventh year of his pasttn'ate. Preliminary, however, to the services on the Lord's day, the Pastor and his devoted wife were invited to meet the: Deacons and Trustees in the Pastor's room, when Deacon Elliot, on their behalf, presented the Doctor with an «'.legant Parian marble clock, and read an appreciativi? and attectionate address, testify- ing their devotion to him as their Pastor, and their lov(^ for him personally, and for his gentle and devoted wife, for whom every member of the church entertains the warmest affection. Th(^ w(jrds of the Doctor in reply wen; few, but touched tlie hearts of all present. Two or throe short addressi's ))y other brethren, and a short service of praise and prayiir brought this interesting gathering to a close. The services on the Lord's Day were grand and impressive, and as the ^•ast congregation gave forth the inspiring strains of "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty," aeconipanied by the magnificent organ, the occasion was one which will be long remembered. The Doctor took as his text Psalm IIJ, 0. He likened the ten years of his pastorate to a ten-stringed instru- — 1» — niont, and for forty iiilmites, in oloiiiuMit sind ^'rapliic Ijin^'-uaKe, the music of theso ten years prodiu-ed .» harmony which was listened to with eaj,nn- attention. In the evening the Doctor preacluul from the same text with which lie commenced his pastorate here. "And for me also, that utterance may he ^dven me, " etc," He had then invoked the blessing,' of tin- Almighty on the work upon which he was enterin^r, and he needed that now as then. His desire was now! as then, to fearlessly and lovingly declare the whoh' counsel of God; and he needed now, as then, tin- sympathy and earnest prayers of all his people with- out which he could not hope to succeed in th(^ gr(Mit work in which he and the church were engaged. It must have been with a feeling of pardonable pride, as well as one of deep responsildlity, that he looked into the earnest, upturned faces of the great congregation at this service. In entering upon this new term of mutual labor, our prayer is that both church and pastor may g(i boldly forward in the strength of tlu^ Lord, knowing that their lal)ors shall not be in vain in the Lord, and, with Dr. Newman, realizing that So lony His power lius blessed us, sure it still Will lead us on ; O'er uioor and fen, o'er crag and toiTent, till The night is gone. And witli the morn those angel la(!es smile Which we have loved long sin.-e and lost awhile. T. r.. K. I — 20 — Toronto, Hth OctolH'r, 1«!)2. Dkak Dk.

We are satisfied that in doing this we give voice to the lieartfelt sentiment of tlie entire congregation. We cannot l)ut rejoice over the liarinony which l)as reigned in our clnu'cli during th(^ whole period of your nnnistry, and we recognize tlie fact tliat tliis is largely tlie result of the perfect impartiality witli wliich yon liave discharged your duties, and the transparent simplicity of your character. The success which has attended your ministry here shows tliat you came to us under divine leading. We thank God that he In'ought you amongst us. While appreciating the beautiful imagery which adorns your sermons, we value even more the simple unselfishness of your life, and the earnestness with which you present the gospel to the unsaved. We pray God that you and your gentle and devoted wife, for whom every member of the churcli enter- tains the wa-mest affection, may be spared to us for many many years to come, and tliat the Lord may continue to so bless your work with us that yet more jewels may be added to your crown. We beg your acceptance of the accompanying time- l)iecc as a reminder of this anniversary day. May it be your and our privilege together to pass a blessed eternity with the Saviour in that everlasting king- dom where time shall be no more. On behalf of the Deacons and Trustees. Rev. B. D.
