Synopsis

Excerpt from Lectures on Homiletics and Preaching

But how much soever the ministerial office may be contemned by others; how low soever their concep tions of its authority or its source the minister himself must magnify his ofiice.'' It 1s of the utmost import ance, that he entertain elevated notions both of its sanc tity and its dignity. The welfare of the people com witted to his charge, no less than the formation and maintenance of his own character requires him to be well persuaded of what dignity, and of how great import ance the office is, whereunto he has been called. Hence the stress which is laid upon it in the Ordination Service of our church. And now again,'' (observes the Bishop, whilst addressing those about to be admitted into the priestly otfice,) we exhort you, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you have in remembrance into how high a dignity, and to how weighty an office and charge ye are called, that is to say, to be messengers, watch men, and stewards of the Lord, to teach and to pre~ monish, to feed and provide for the Lord''s family: to seek for Christ''s sheep that are dispersed abroad, and for his children who are in the midst of this naughty world, that they may be saved through Christ for ever.''
