Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Object and Means of the Christian Ministry: A Sermon, Preached at the Ordination of the Rev. Cyrus A. Bartol, as Junior Pastor of the West Church in Boston, Wednesday, March 3, 1837
This spiritual Providence, designed to effect for the soul what an earthly Providence effects for the body, is to be found in the operation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Not exclusively for the great Father never left his children without witness and without care. But the chief, the favorite, the all-comprehending Institution is that system of grace and truth which came by Jesus Christ, and which makes wise unto salvation; the efficient instrument of whose operation is the ministry.
What then is this perfection for which man is made, in aid of which the Gospel is established, and for which all institutions of human origin had proved inadequate?
