In every profession there are to be 'found professors who are. far~fro?v measuring uji to the standard of their profession. This is even tpuo .with those who haveo made choice in the' M>._-^humble walks of life. But this cultured age has brought iritb the. >???istry a set of ministers, that ail- not only a reflection upon'if, but an opv" disgrace*^ to the^exalted calling. So] long as the world stands, men will be human beings and not angelic. There j fnrp nrftfticuni'u n\'nr\? wilf WaV^their faults and failures and i will ncvei. lirTftwnmx* to~7nisUkes .uiYT blunders. But when the. ministry reduces itself to the point? >vhere nothing good can be seen itr it $r *said of it, I think it is time and high time to. stop and take stock on the profession. That the?feu id Josh's- Is still calling men to preach tho' gospel, is as true 'as in the days offtlie,'Apostles. .And. that;..thdUsanJs and thousands of ministers are livirur up to that high call? -* ipg today is equally true. But there have crept into this day's ministry some wolves and goats in lamb's fleece, that are guilty of everything on earth but saying 'their prayers. When it comes to honesty,-Hhey will misappropriate any. funds that they' can get their hands on. Their check, for one dollar, is just about as .good "as one from them for a millio'n dollars.' And their promises are only their "good get away." And iis for meeting judt .obligations, thov AviJ1 refuse to pay for the food that tlip.y eat on time,?and the~clolhes that ,.nVy wear on installment. Furniture and'house , rent arc. just out of the question. If mcy ion you that their wives arc dead you had better get an affidavit from the uhdertalsciLljefoiv you mtrkir c preparation to attend'the funeral. They will tell the truth when the other "fellow" is not inconvenient. ^_The .laity should not .tolefate such a rotten set of ministers.' Thby shotdd demand at least a self .respected minis try ?or none at nil.' For these selfcalled, scnfjtnd unconverted ministers, wnnH /1" "'"I1 1" 'i"'1 11 hti' rate f -r the good that they ,ar* thymic. ,A^3or. reCt english sentence never escapes from the lips Vp' most of them' and the bible is butchered by them from Gcnpsis to.Revelation. There, hie luit few of this sorry soft that arcac.quiring an "'lufut"i'in -?"il 11?n? <*"" r trying'to substitute education for regeneration which makes them.'no het> ter than the ignorant sort, if as good. There is. absolutely sio necessity for men posing as. ministers being guilty 'of the above indictment." An\'-m:m I can?toll the iruili. Any man Tan give his creditors satisfaction* .Any^ man can refuse-to sign his name to a. cheek When he has no money in the bank and has never had: any there. Every man can deal honestly! with 1 other people's money with .wKjyh he has been intrusted. These leper spotted ministers who have misiiyttM'pvet.ed the "go plough corn to, "m<i preach \>nrisvf' snoum mined l(M%>4jR?h tlie.se vacant -furms. to work. ;'!'?? <peddle ^ them from congregation to endi; rotation, iaequi'valentHo smuggling a eon-, tageous- disease victim from one c?im-_ niunity to_anqfherr N'nw t lu-lieve al^ ways that justice shoul lie tempered with mercy and that an accused slvould be given* the "bl'fHtfit of every" doubPr ?-But when a minister comes, up yearly . _ withthosame scnriiTal";tnd"Tnun Vvery.wherc Jle gfoes, is. sutlicicnt evidence to adjudge him guilty and' set ' him aside. I'ay no attention what'ev' er to his standing around with appear I ance of a "sick duck in a pit" to crlurt sympathy.. Put him down -'just the| same. These sorry sort of ministers' are nothing less.than stunil>1 ing"bl <icks in the way of' sinnors^aml hindrances to the kingdom of God. A?d the s<jSner the real God-called ministry 'id itself of them, the higher it will lie respected and thy more precious souls ^ will be saved for God and the king-. dom of grace ami glorv.
