A few Sundays a pro a .minister- got up in his plifp.t- and announced that' He had hot prepared a sermon . but" >v?s going to ' let the Lord speak through him. ? *' A \yom?n in the congregation' turned to! her companion yid whis-. pered, "And we' lire n't going to hoar anything, either ? " and we didn't. The Lord duin't help hi/n out' much The Lord doesn't svem inclined to. en courage omission of duty in preach ers or in anybody else. The -minister who does not come. inlo his pulpit with a well-thought out sermon needn't expect the Lord to da his. work for him. It is an affront to a congregation when a minister steps .into his 'pul pit without having something vital to say and without having figured out the best way to say it! It is an imposition to "ask several hundred- people to take baths and put on their good clothes and leave homes and travel var.ying distances .and sit up. in more or less comfortable reat? in mo .0 or lcsj. comfortable audi toriums just to observe , a preacher claw the ? air and.' string -words and phases together.
