Synopsis

Excerpt from The Sermon, Charge, Right Hand of Fellowship, and Address to the People, at the Ordination of Mr. C. E. Ferrin Over the Congregational Church in Barton, Vt., December 10, 1851

It has been thought that a Pastor of Small attainments might do very well as the instructor of a simple, untivated people. The exigencies of the case, however, make it desirable that the simplest people should have a wise - not to say the wisest - teacher. The most untivated are also the most superstitious, and the most willing subjects of preja dice. It requires skill, knowledge, and tact, to teach such a people. It requires strong powers, well disciplined, to undermine prejudice, and roll away the clouds of ignorance and superstition that float over the minds of untutored men. To do this, the religious teacher must be familiar with the truths he would impart, and also familiar with the workings of the human mind. He'should' be able to adapt himself to the most ignorant of men, and as he awakens their slumbering intellects, he should be able to lead them up to the highest point of religious ture attainable, showing himself coment to teach both the simplest and the wisest. So much we conceive to be necessary to facilitate the most rapid growth in knowledge. Therefore the-ideal standard of ex cellence in the Spiritual Shepherd, makes no allowance for the peiar condition of the flock. The flock may be wise, or illiterate they may dwell hardlby the poles, or under the equator; could the idea be re duced to practice, the Pastor of all climes, and bf all flocks, should pos sess the same perfect knowledge, and impart it with the same exquisite skill. In no other way is he able to rouse the understanding of his people, and satisfy to the full their demands for spiritual food.
