What Shall the filitastar Do
ldusens, EDITORS :—To ministers of the.
Gospel, these are trying times. No elm*
of -men have a stronger , claim on the.
Church's sympathy. The trouble is this :
to pray and preach a Chri;tian patriot is
in duty, bound, : auCto please his Erectile.
Ric ?abor,,,hoc opus est, Any minister of
Christ, for 'his people's benefit., would de,
sire to please them/if that can be dorie
with'a clear conecience. But far'aboVe the
desire to please his'people ' lies the purpose'
to please his conscience tinaltiaGod. And ,
no man who is not thus inspired and re
solved, deserves the name of It rapista of
Christ.' ' '• ',

" great " sermons, being apt to draw off a ' i1c 0 ,. 4 "
tention from the truth itself to the garb in -
which it is presented, are not so well suited
to that purpose as " little" ones—which
in the plainest, simplest, most unpretending
and affectionate manner, seek to bring the
naked truth and the nakedl soul into con
tact. They remember Peter's sermon at
Pentecost, and Paul's at Athens, and the
results which followed; and they cannot
help inquiring whether that is not the
greatest sermon which • does the greatest
good, in being the means of saving the
greatest number of souls without reference
to its intellectual height or depth; ! and
whether the reason why a good . many
"'hungry sheep look up and are not fed,"
is beoanae - they are presented with a great
rattle of husks, instead of 'the sincere milk
of cthe Word. They are, impressed with
Dr. Wayland's remark .that "to ' the
preacher of the Gdspel moral preparation
for the pulpit is of far more importance
than intellectual," and !lig' that - many min
isters might joik.with him in the exclama
ion, " if we gave as much attention to• the
preparation of oar hearts, as to the
