they are often men Of less than
ordinary ability for such tasfs.
But they are men who pour
all the rich abundance of a great
mans strength into their public
ministrations. They are men who
tarried in the quiet chamber of
meditation and prayer until the
thoughts of God have been burned
into their lives, until their very
voices have come to vibrate with
those divine accents which fall
on broken hearts like the dews Of
summer nights on dropping roses

men have neglected those task:

1t is evident that the preacher
must determine which is the most

then must be content, for the
sake of that paramount duty, to
neglect the rest. And what is this

declared, "There are two things
which every minister must put
