Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Christian Minister, His Respectability and Success in Connection With the Prayers of His Flock: A Discourse Delivered on the Occasion of Entering Upon the Pastoral Charge of the Fairmount Presbyterian Church, Sabbath, July 12th, 1868
In the first place, we call your attention to the personal qualifications requisite for our office. These are specified by the Apostle, and are of a two-fold description, a good conscience, and living honestly. The former implies the personality of religion the latter, respectability of character. We say the text implies, in the first place, the personality of religion, We trust, saith Paul, we have a good conscience. He might have said, we know that we have a good conscience. But the Apostle was an humble man, and his language may put to the blush some who are incessantly vaunting of the purity of their motives and of the certainty of their vital piety.
