SCEPTICIL PREACHERS.

Some very solemn words 10 preach
ors were recently uttered by DR.. Dy kes-
of London, and we are inclined to
quote them and let them do their own
work. We believe that very many
preachers go into the pulpit Of Sun
dag, without expectancy Of immediate
fruit from their labors. They have
some idea that somehow the Gospel is
10 do the work God has assigned 10
1t. They believe that the Word of
God will not return to Him void,
but this is sort Of general
belief. 1t is not specific for the occa
sion. There is need of preaching as
though everything depended on the
preacher. while recognizing the fact
that without God he is but a cipher
There is no agency ON earth that has
the potency OF the gospel preached by
its ministers, il it be preached in that
kind Of reliance on Gods power and
God 5 promise that makes the preacher
feel it must bring about results. DR..
ID, kes says. "Hopelessness, or rather
faithlessncss. in the success Of preach
ing is the chief cause Of the paralysis Of
the pulpit fear we hardly expect
our sermons TO carry God S power with
them into men hearts. so as to strike
attention, excite thought. awaken
penitence. compel belief. change the
will. or transform the character Re
suits visible and immediate, on wide
scale. eyidencing divine concurrence in
our work and compelling tho admis-
sion that the preaching Of Christ il
strong, and not as men say it is an
impoteut thing in the earth; such re-
suits who weekly looks for or be-
lieyes in; Skepticism has smitten
US as preachers: skepticisn Of the
power Of preaching. What We
cease TO look for fails TO come. When
conversions are thought so unlikely
that minister would be a little sur
prised il be heard Of one, what won
der that few are converted? What
wonder. if ministers have to make, as
they have sometimes made, the miser-
able confession that they can barely
count up more converts than years Of
ministry.
The Word Of God must be mixed
with faith in them that hear it. We
know. for SO that word tells us, but
there will be little faith among the
hearers if there be none in the pulpit.
There are churcl rolls that ought to
make pastors weep. A year passes in
many church that shows few
or no accessions on confessions
of faith. There Is something
wrong in such a church, in pews.
or pulpit. or both The church or the
pastor ought to be removed. The I'M
fruitful preacher must not too often
console himself with the thought that
one SONS and another resps, or with
the assurance that his labor is not in
VAIN in the Lord. These comforting
passages were never intended to set
man at ease in his want Of faith. We
are to expect great things from God, .
and in the expectancy We must
attempt great things for God. y
It would be interesting, even though
il might be deemed impertinent, to AK

Gospel just how far he expects the
story of the cross, as told by him next
Sunday, to prove the power Of

STEWARDS or GRACE.
l. Pefer-41O.
BYcGR

There is something very startling and
solemn IN the thought Of stewardship
OF Gods grece or love to souls. We
are all familiar with the language Of |
Peter 4:l0. As every man hath re-
ceived the gift. even SO minister the
same one to another, as good stewards
Of the manifold grace Of God, but do
we always when reading 1t stop to get
its depth ard breadth of meaning It
is wonderful that God should commit
90 our keeping and our distribution
the full stores OF his love to men. The
gift. as we receive it. Is not for
ourselves alone, but must be min
Istered to others. It should move
oar deepest emotions that God
in his tendcrest and most loving plans
TO those he loves, should select US as
his instruments 10 communicate his
love and 10 bring his rich blessings to
them. How carefully we would select
one to do such loving errand for our
selves. Such a ono should be loving
and tender. delicate in his ways, wise
and faithful: and he must be one whom
we love and who loves Us. What is it.
then. when God honors US by selecting
us for such erfands of mercy How /
much higher ard nobler is this steward |
ship than the Stewardship OF money /
And it carries with it graver responsi-
Il It's. Gods love is not general only. /
Ir is towards individuals. and /
