Good Advice.

The following extract from a letter written by Rev. C. B. Boynton, D. D., to one of the members of his former church in Cincinnati, is well worth remembering: “I have no definite idea of the gifts of your pastor, but if he preaches the truth, is sincere and earnest, his ministry will not be without fruits. Make the most of him. Let him feel the cherishing of the church, which will make him do his best. It is the duty of a church to endeavor continually to bring out of a man all of good there is in him. The best ministers—those who have the finest organization—need kindly cultivation. A man of sense does not need flattery but sympathy. A noble horse, even, will be a nobler animal if he is made to feel that his master thinks well of him—likes him.”
