Again l remark that q Brooklyn pas
torate Is chr ;erlzed by breviry. b.
think myself Of bu: three ministers Of
the gospel how preaching here who were
preaching when l came To Brooklyn.
Most Of the pulpits around INC have
changed seven or eight times since my
arrival
Sometimes the pastorate has been brief
for one reason and sometimes for an
other reason. Sometimes the ministers
Of tie gospel have been too good for tins
world. and heaven has transplanted them.
Sometimes they changed places by the
decree Of their denomination. Some
times they came with great blare Of
trunpets. proposing 10 carry everything
before them. and gos extinglishcd before
they were distinguished. Some got
preached out III two or three years aai
told the people al 10y knew. Some
with holy speed did in n short tine work
which !; takes a great many years 10 DO.
Whether for good or bad reasons q
Brooklyn p'lstorate Is characterized by
