T h e   M i n i s t e r.       To:   Pray for the sick and bury the dead.   Preach to the heart as well as the head.   Seek for the sinner and build up the saint.     Encourage the weak and lift up the faint.   Never be tired, discouraged or lone.   Never be smiling and always at home.   Give till it hurts then give some more.   Greet every member as he stands by the door.   Be ready to go both by day and by night.   Ever be listening, never having his say.   Be preacher and poet, wise man and slave.   Never take rest till he rests in the grave.   Marry the young, and counsel them,too.   Be model husband with faults very few.   Draw people in and keep them from drifting.   Lift others up and never need lifting.   It's a high holy calling, this state of a preacher.   But kindly remember, friend, he, too, is a creature.   FROM THE CHARMANA WISDOM STICK, Bro.
