Richard BilUngsley declared yesterday at First Congregational Church as he the tenth anniversary of his pastorate here.

--Out of the various incidents in Wed Yesterday in Pine Island the Bible in which the number ten is used," said Mr. BUUngsley, -it is evident that it represents a measure of responsibility or testing upon which punishment or reward is based, so perhaps it is not too much to say it takes at least ten years to evaluate properly the relationship between a minister and a congregation. The success or failure of a ministry." continued.the pastor, "can be determined by the faithfulness with which he has committed the things of Christ to his congregation, by the witness he has borne to the confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God." Need ot Christ We need Mr. BUUngsley told his hearers, "because we are ignorant of so many things; our world is Ignorant and therefore cer world." he asked, "does so much with so little for so many?

And we need Him because we are mortal and cannot escape the fact of death." People, in the pastor's opinion, are seldom helped by nagging or criticizing but "preaching truly means to draw the curtain aside from the figure of Christ and to lose one's self in the folds of it. If a minister can help people to see Christ a little better, a little more clearly." he asserted, "there will be no need of begging them to have greater faith or-to strive more earnestly for righteousness."

Ber tha Crawford has charge of Mr. BiUingsley emphasized, however, that a church could not live by a minister and his preaching alone, -for a church is a body of believers." Proof of Loyalty He cited the need for loyalty to God and to God's church and maintained that "surely one test of a church's strength, a measure of its worth, is revealed by the number of its members who are loyal enough to God to give their time Sunday after And loyalty to a church." continued Mr. Billingsley. "means supporting its work, "Men have just finished spending billions in an effort to destroy much of the world as possible." he pointed out. "Now the church of Christ with millions would build a new society on the wreckage of the oid.

building this time In the name and for the sake of Christ." in conclusion, the pastor reminded his congregation that "loyalty to a church involves the spending of energy, for faith without works is dead.
