Excerpt from Lectures for the People
The high character of the Preacher IS sometimes thought too lightly of, or disregarded. Were a man to visit us, clothed with high powers, and bearing gracious promises from an earthly potentate, we would receive him with all due ren spect, pay him all usual honor, and be grateful for the boon he brought'or promised. Far greater than an ambassador from any, human power, Is he who stands in'thg pulpit, teach to man the saving truths revealed in the holy and in Spired Word of God. In that pulpit he stands, only a human being like ourselves 5 but his mission Invests him with a dig nity which, simply as a man, he would have no claim to. In the pulpit, teaching the lessons which the Gospel gives, the preacher really should be considered as. The messenger, the servant, the orator of God himself. He has to persuade, as well as to teach. It is not enough that his own mind is filled with the glorious truths which he is commissioned to com8 critical and biographical introduction.
