The Missionary Eliot’s word to young Ministers was—‘Let there be much of Christ in your Ministry. (Mather’s Life.) ‘Exhibit,’ said Mather to his Student and Pastor (p. 180) ‘as much as you can of a glorious Christ: indeed, let the motto upon your whole Ministry be—“Christ is All.” Let your Sermons be dyed in the blood of the Redeemer,’ was the strong language of a celebrated Divine. (Skelton.) ‘Persons,’ as Mr. Romaine once observed to a friend of the Writer, ‘wonder that we are always preaching Christ; but the truth is, that we have nothing else to preach about.’ ‘Preach Christ,’ said a venerable Minister to a young brother. ‘I have,’ was the reply. ‘Then preach him again. Be always on it. Let every thing be in connection with it.’
