To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If he is deficient in many of the graces of the gospel, and has, at best, but a dubious claim to the christian char- acter, he will be far more likely to be a stumbling block to others, than to help forward their salvation. But if, on the other hand, he always lives under a commanding sense of religious obligation, he will scarcely ever move, without being the instrument of good to those around him : and to say nothing of the direct efforts of benev- olence, with which his life will be filled u...p, the spirit- uality of his general deportment, his watchfulness, and humility, and self-denial, and devotion — all that which goes to constitute his piety, will make an appeal, not easily resisted, in favor of his Master's cause. And what is true of the influence of a private christian, is eminently true of the influence of a christian minister. Let him be a man, who, like Paul, has drank deep into 9 the spirit of that gospel which he preaches ; let his conversation and deportment evince that he sits daily at the feet of Jesus, and that the objects of sense dimin- ish, while the objects of faith rise in his estimation ; and it is hardly possible but that the example of such a minister should exert a benign and extensive influence.
