Pulpit Don'ts
Don't preach more than thirty minutes. Don't preach your own doubts or the doubts of othors. Your people have doubts enough of tkuii* own, and can always pick up more. Don't preach science ; not even the science of theology. Your pulpit is not a lecture platform, nor your church a class room. Don't substitute gush for good sense, rhapsody for reason, and asseverati.m for argument. Don't uso tho long prayer to fell your congregation tlio nous of the weok, or the L >i\l tho latost discoveries in theology. : Don't imagine that you aro tho boiird of deacons, the board of trustees, tho church meeting, and tinsociety; you are only tho paator. — Christian Union.
