LAYMAN'S LEGACY.

SERMON I.

A HINT TO PREACHERS.

"And what shall we do?" LUKE iii. 14.

READER, I am about to preach a moral sermon to you. That is, I am about giving a hint to preachers, how they should preach, when they preach morality. It is ten to one that I shall found my moral discourse on good, sound, and substantial Doctrine. I hope you will not undervalue my preaching, for the reason that it has a novelty about it; inasmuch as it has truth for its foundation.

"How shall they hear without a preacher ?" says Paul. Reader, it is one thing to preach; and quite another thing to be a preacher. And Paul, I have no doubt, was of my opinion; for he adds-" And how shall they preach, except they be sent ?" (Rom. x. 14, 15.) Paul has been referred to as a very accommodating Apostle-very desirous of pleasing the people-willing to do any thing, or to abstain from the doing of any thing, rather than to displease the people. As much as to say, and finish the subject, that Paul was a dear lover of popularity; particularly, when it would lead the way to a large salary. So Paul says, "Let every one of us please his neighbour." Only observing one plain proviso, viz:-"for his good to edification." It seems, then, Paul was so desirous of pleasing his neighbour, that he restricted himself to one condition only, viz:-that his neighbour's good to edification should be his sole inducement to please him at all; therefore, when Paul could not benefit his neighbour by pleasing him, he left him to please himself. Now I intend to copy Paul's example; so, reader, we start fair-I VOL. II.-2
