To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This offers a strong inducement to him to engage at times in those solemn ex- ercises even in the absence of that feeling which he cannot always command, and without which, they are empty or worse than empty words a temptation which, if yielded to, can hardly fail to be in- jurious to the moral sense of the preacher. The congregation, on the other hand, naturally expect the punc- tual performance of the duties which the minister has undertaken, and rely on him to conduct the worship for them. I...nstead of seek- ing to realize for themselves the presence and help of Him who is "the Apostle and High Priest of our profession" the appointed Mediator, through whom alone every individual soul must know ac- cess for himself to the Father they are in danger of too much re- garding the minister as their Priest their medium of communication with the Divine Being. Their responsibility is thus, to a certain extent, transferred from themselves to the minister the individual whose business it is to look after their spiritual interests their own engagements being of a secular character; and the idea that it is pos- sible that they themselves might become the recipients of spiritual gifts, perhaps never enters their minds; or if it should enter, the difficulty would at once occur, that according to present arrangements there is no opportunity for their exercise.
