Many look upon their minj^s^
ter as a sort of ogre, and are
afraid they may possibly incur
his severest displeasure and Uis-
resj»ect by revealing to him their
needs. , Friends, this should not
be. God’s ordained ministers
are the friends of the rich, the
poor, the high and low, and all
who need their help. Some of
you may say, “I go te church on
Sunday when I have nothing
else to d«, or when it is conven
ient and I have no vioitors; I
am courteous to the rector; now
what more should I do. My
duty I have done.” Those of
you who say this or think all ob
ligations to have ended are sad
ly mistaken and are in need of a
higher realization of the mean
ing of duty. Ypu have not done
your duty by "your ^pastor if you
limit vour intefOBttttirith him
to the attendance at church ser
vices.
