The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1922-10-11

Won this unusual man for the Kingdom
Uecaus. he preached unto him Jesus.
, Fidelity Determines Success.
, "Parea,hctically. brethren Of tho
Synod Of We. Virginia. the richness.
: the lurcencss Of your ministry will not
, be determined by the influential. atflu-
ant church which you serve. but by the
fidelity with which you preach Jesus
and interpret Him 10 those whom you
serve.
There are TWO large thoughts sus.
gested by this text that We desire 20
emphasize ana amplify. The first is the
need Of preaching. The second Is the
content OF preaching. or the preacher
message.
Once in while we observe that
some men delight In preaching them
selves - they joy in telling of their
achievements. they gather around them
selves an interested aud!enc" which
springs up in beauty like the grain
sown upon the stony ground but alas.
when the minister changes pastorates.
the audience withers away.
Strive to Please People.
t "a close relative of this type Of preach
or Is the man who breaches to please
and satisfy an ease loving people. He
interests and formulates his messages
accordingly. When such a one changes
pastnra,es the congregation is as rtch
as the congregation of the man VIII"
peaches himself. We are quite glad
TO note that both Of these types OF men
mentioned are rare IN the Ministry.
Another class OF preachers treble
in number, preach Jesus but preach him
incorrectly and incompletely. And
this class is Icy no means small.
In conclusion DIR. Snyder said:
. ..E-e,hren OF the Synod. 20 this high
and holy calling are we called to preach
Jesus unto men. to make Him real
Savior in Their lives. The glory and
10Y OF this ministry Is inerfiaS!e. I'M
spcakable and full Of glory.
brethren not OF the ministry. your
hearts are hungry for this same Jesus
whom Philip preached. You realize
,ha: what the world needs Is not r''or,
nation but regeneration. Give need
therefore. TO the preaching OF the Nora
and forsakc not the assembling OF your
selves together for this purpose.
