PREACHERS VS.. DOCToRs.-The fol-
lowing extract from an ananniversary SER
mon delivered by T. r. CRAWFORD,
DID,, of the. Nottingham Congregation
Harrison County, will illustrate an
error under which many of the ministry
are laboring in their visits to the sick.
It is often serious affair to listen to a
lengthy discourse when in the best of
health and minister's own confession
in case of sickness should have great
weight:
Among other things learned was this
important lesson, that all ministers
should De exceedingly cautious as to
length and character of their visits to
the sick, especially to such as are very
low and feeble by disease. There We're
days during my illness when it was ut
terly impossible not only to make the
slightest physical exertion, but just as
impossible to make any mental effort
without the greatest pain and prostra-
ton. Whilst my ministerial brethren
were kind in filing my pulpit, and at
tentively visiting me in sickness, yet
there were times that could not enjoy
or be profted by bedside conversation
or prayer. And in reviewing my pas
tordl history in the light of practical ex-
perience, my serious conviction is, that
before my long affiiction / have made
great mistakes in my visits to the sick,
by not watching more closely the pro-
gress Of disease, and thereby wearying
the patient.
