TOO MUCH WORK There are many whose fame would be doubled if their work was halved. There are preachers who forget that the only thing that really matters in their life work is the sermons they prepare for their own congregations and the pastoral work they do in addition . They wander all over the country. They cross the seas. They undertake all manner of offices and duties. They are never at peace and never at their best. They tell you that they work eighteen hours a day. As a rule they break down pre maturely. When they do not, all the life and freshness go out of them. We are to find our tasks and to concentrate upon them, and not attempt anything that will impair the efficiency with which they are performed .—Sir W. R. Niciioll. 3 » . -■ Have you enquired about the Corres pondence Courses of the Bible Institute of Dos Angeles?
“ It is possible to have the experience and through doubts not be able to enjoy its benefits?” Yes, undoubtedly it is. “ If a minister has the baptism of the Holy Ghost, what effect will it have on his congregation?” On Peter’s congregation on the Day of Pentecost it had the effect that three thousand people were convicted of sin and converted and born again (Acts 2, cf. Acts 1 :8), but on Stephen’s congre gation it had the effect that instead of being pricked in their heart, as Peter’s congregation was, they were cut to their heart and gnashed on him with their teeth and killed him (Acts 7:54, fol lowing). It is true there was one con verted through that sermon that was worth more than thousands of ordinary converts (Saul of Tarsus), but Stephen did not live to see it.
