Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pastor Amidst His Flock The expanding sphere of modern life has broadened the sphere of pastoral theology. Among the forefathers, the pastor fought the battle with evil as David, whirling his sling, fought the battle of Israel with the Philistine - while the army stood looking on. The idea of organizing the forces of the church membership for intelligent and efficient work had hardly yet "arrived." Few, if any, but the pastor were men of liberal culture. The higher education for woman was unknown. That youth and children could unite with the church and contribute to its efficiency, was hardly so much as surmised. The Sunday-school, though in vogue in previous generations, had become a "lost art." The mid-week service was a lecture from the pastor. No missionary pioneer had yet ventured beyond seas into the outlying heathen gloom. But, with the advancing springtide of modern Christian intelligence and enterprise, church work has flowered into a new exuberance and diversity. As armies no longer fight by chosen champions, but rely on their leaders for marshaling and direction, so the church comes forward to ask of its pastor the organization and administration, for which of old there was no call. It touches common life at an always increasing number of points of contact. The pastor stands at its head with his hand on magnetic and divergent lines. He must be, in some sense, a man of affairs. He must be Argus-eyed, ubiquitous, with keen insight into human nature, conciliatory, quick in the art of drawing, like the fruit-tree, the sweet elements from even a bitter soil, and unifying the energies of the church for the most decisive effect. Carrying into the moral world the grand discovery of the conservation and correlation of force, he must turn the heat of his sacred ardor into motion and electric inspiration in the souls of the brotherhood. In so large, so diversified, so perplexing a work, the energies of youth must be piloted by the experience of those of riper years.
