Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures in Pastoral Theology The general subject of the course of lectures in Pastoral Theology the present year will be: The Pastor in Relation to the Activities of the Church. A congregation is to be viewed as a band of work ers in the Lord's vineyard with the pastor at the head. In the upbuilding of the Kingdom of God, the pastor is to be not only a builder, but a wise master-builder whose business it is to lay out the work and direct the efforts of the workmen. For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. (mark xiii, There is a vast amount of unused moral power in the church to - day, and the minister who can call out this latent talent and direct it into channels of useful service confers an immense bless ing on the workers and gives a mighty impulse to the work.
