The Minister’s Summer Vacation

The Rev. M. J. Savage excuses the minister's summer vacation on the ground of necessity, thus:—

“Once in seven days comes the great absorbing effort of the week for them. In seven days again, in seven days again, again, again, again, until you have no idea what a relief it is for a few weeks, at any rate, to get away and forget that such a thing as Sunday exists.”

When preachers preach a kind of gospel that makes even themselves tired, we can hardly wonder at a lack of interest on the part of those whom they address. But a thing that has power in it is always interesting; and the old gospel is “the power of God unto salvation.”
