When Ministers have no more sense than Children

"I looked to see the humility of soul that should ever sit as a fitting gar­ment upon our ministers, but it was not upon them.


I looked for the deep love for souls that the Master said they should possess, but they had it not.

I listened for the earnest prayers offered with tears and anguish of soul because of the impenitent and unbe­lieving in their own homes and in the church, but heard them not.

I looked for the burden bearers, who in such a time as this should be weeping between the porch and the altar, crying, Spare Thy people, Lord, and give not Thine heritage to re­proach; (Joel 2:17) ' but I heard no such suppli­cations.

A few earnest, humble ones were seeking the Lord.
But a large majority of the ministers had no more sense of the sacredness of their work than children..,"
