Excerpt from The Reliance of Christianity on Its Ministers: A Discourse Delivered Before the Rhetorical Society, in the Theological Seminary at Bangor, Me., August 30, 1843

Revealed truth has this in common With all other truth, that it is taught and maintained by human instrumentalities. Supernatural in its ori gin, and accompanied by extraordinary spiritual agencies, it is, nevertheless, applied to the minds of men by means. And, in general, the means, adapted to give effect to other truth, are no less fitted, and no less necessary, to recommend and enforce that Which came immediately from God.

In casting about me for a subject not unsuited to the present occasion, my thoughts have fallen upon the means on which the Christian Religion chiefly depends - the agency of a living ministry. The gospel relies mainly, it is obvious, upon personal influence. It is sustained and propagated by the living preacher.
