The Young Man who sIspi under t,r
Sermon.

---~~-~-
This was the subject Of the sermon
Of Rev. A. j. Roland, pastor OF The
Franklin square Baptist Church, on
Sunday last. Among other things
he said:
"Entychus sat in window and
slept while Paul preached. This.
fact should be comforting to minis
tiers of the Gospel. If Parl's hear
ers fell asleep, the ordinary preacher
should not be disheartened if some
of his hearers do likewise Men will
sleep under the very best preachers,
and we are by no means always re-
sponsible for this. 1t is probable
that Paul preached long time, and
Entychus being weary, fell asleep.
Many men spoil what they have to
say. and put their hearers to sleep
by p eachiag too long John Yves
ley said that no conversions were
made after the first thirty minutes
of sermon. The present demand
for short sermons is often unjustifi-
able. A minister ought to be allow
ed, now and then, to exhaust his sub
ject without exhausting his hearers.
Paul's sermon may have been not
only long, but it is doubtful If be
told many amusing stories, or had
many vivid illustrations"
Many young men are afflicted
with sleepy heads. They do not
take proper rest. They are always
tired and unfit for the duties of life.
While. heweyer we may make ex-
cuses tor them, the young man who
sleeps under the sermon misses a
great deal. No sermon can be so
poor as to not have in it much worth
the hearing. The word Of God is
always instructive and men should
not sleep while it is being preached.
Persons who sleep during sermons
are in danger OF spiritual death.
The gospel is preahed to them. and
they neither hear nor heed it."
'In all sermons preacher should
put forth his best efforts to please
his hearers. People who attend
church go there ostensibly to learn
of the mercy and goodness OF God
and it is duty they owe to the
preacher, the truth and themselves
that they listen to what he has to
say. A preacher is often discourag-
ed when he looks over his congrega-
tion and sees several Of them asleep.
Gods houses were not built for sleep
ing purposest Thew were erected
to be places where all may come and
hear the truth. The young man
who sleeps under the s~rmon hears
not what may be moral and spirit
ual benefit to him throughout the
years to come"
