ABSTRACT

The call to preach:—Preachers are born, not manufactured; this fact is proven by the record of nearly all Bible characters. Though modern individuals have many of them chosen the ministry as a profession, either because of its ease and moral atmosphere or from its remunerative value which some have been able to obtain by having reached the upper rounds of the ladder in scholarly attainments. These ministers have drawn many into ethical societies but usually fail in the real conversion an experimental knowledge of salvation from sin, among their adherents.
