I would use it as a plea to students to labour day and night in their period of preparation to become good Hebraists and good Hellenists, and to lay the foundations of a sensitive and resourceful scholarship. I would suggest that the crisis of intellectual curiosity and minute research should be got over safely and wholesomely before the active work of the ministry begins, so that no traces of the disease may be seen in the pulpit, but only the happy results of a favourable inoculation. A preacher's knowl- edge of the text, and his instinctive apprehen, sion of linguistic colour and form, should be so deeply settled in his constitution by long and painful toil, that, while a Hebrew or Greek specialist in his congregation would imme- diately perceive that he was an adept, the poorest and least instructed of his hearers would never dream that he knew Hebrew or Greek at all, and indeed would never need to be reminded that the word of God ever came in any other language than good, racy, idio- matic English.
