One other thing only would we advise: the people should daily pray for their pastor that he may be aided in the work of preparing his sermons. Well might that be a subject for special prayer, since so much depends on every sermon a pastor delivers, and since the highest human wisdom is so poorly able to perform a work so momentous. Thus to pray for aid to the pastor in preparing his sermons will unite people and pastor in strong sympathy in that which is his greatest work, and, forming that bond of sympathy at the mercy-seat, it will unite people and pastor, and God himself, in that divine enterprise whose aim is the salvation of men and the glory of God.
