 THE TWO MINISTERS 
 
 2nd Cor. — xiii, 5. 
 
 Kxamine yourselves whether ye be in the faith, 
 prov^c your own selveu, know ye not your own selves, 
 how that Jesus Christ is in you except ye be repro- 
 bates ?

 The Two Ministers 
 
 John 8 — 12. 
 
 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying:, I am 
 the light of the world ; he that followeth me siall not 
 walk in darkness but shall have the light of life. 
 
THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 Taught in the Theological College by his fellow 
 man for money. 
 
 The one thing on earth, 
 That I value most, 
 Is money, yes money, 
 Without that I'm lost, 
 It soothes all my sorrows. 
 Drives away every care. 
 When I've plenty of money, 
 There's nothing I fear. 
 
THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 Taught by the Holy Spirit, without money and 
 without price. 
 
 I Tim. 6 — 9, lo, n. But they that will be rich fall 
 into temptation and a snar'% and into many foolish 
 and hurtful lusts, wh b drown men in destruction 
 and perdition. For t' e love uf " ley is the root of 
 all evil, which while some covei i after they have 
 erred from the faith, and pierced ♦^^mselves through 
 with many sorrows, Brt thou, ' ot God, flee 
 
 these things, and follow after righ «i€ss, godliness, 
 faith, love, patience, meekness. 
 
 Luke 12 — 29, 30, 31. And seek what ye shall 
 
 eat, or what ye shall drink, neither I e of doubtful 
 mind. For all these things do the natiu.. of tijc world 
 seek after, and your Father knoweth ve have 
 
 need of these things. But rather seek ye % ' 'Hi 
 
 of God, and all these things shall be addet. 
 
 Prov. 23 — 4, 5. I,ybour not to be rich 11 
 
 thine own wisdom, Wilt thou set thin j\ upon 
 
 that which is not? for riches certainly nk them 
 
 selves wings, they fly away as an eat^le oward 
 
THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 I got all my wisdom 
 In College you see, 
 From the learned Professor 
 And the Reverend D. D., 
 I gave them some money, 
 And they taught me how 
 To preach and to beg, 
 That's how I live now.

THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 John 6 — 45. It is written in the prophets, and 
 they shall all bo taught of G -d. Every man therefore 
 
 lat hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, 
 Cometh unto me. 
 
 James i — 5. If any of you lack wisdom, let hi*n 
 ask of God that giveth to all men liberally and 
 upbraideth not and it shall be given him. 
 
 I Cor. I — 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. 24. For it is written, 
 I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring 
 to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 
 Where is the wise.^ where s the scribe? where is the 
 disputer of this world ? I or alter that in the wisdom 
 of God, it pleased God by the f<x)lishness of preaching, 
 to save them that believe, For the Jews require 
 a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom. But we 
 preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling 
 block, and unto the Greeks foolishness. But unto 
 them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ 
 the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 Yes 'twas in College 
 That I learned my trade, 
 And I was well taught 
 For the money I paid, 
 And since I've been ordained 
 I've lived well you see. 
 For the whole of my creed 
 Is money for me. 
 
THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 Gal. I — II, I a. But I certify you, brethren, that 
 the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 
 For I neither received it of man neither was I taught 
 it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 
 
 John 14 — 25, 26. These things have I spoken unto 
 you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter 
 which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send 
 in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring 
 all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have 
 said unto you. 
 
 Acts 8— 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. Then laid they 
 their hands on them and they received the Holy 
 Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on 
 of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given he 
 offered them money, saying, Give me this power, that 
 on whomsoever I lay hands be may receive the Holy 
 Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish 
 with thee, because thou hast ihought that the gift of 
 God may be purchased with n oney, thou hast neither 
 part nor lot in this matter for ihy heart is not right in 
 the sight of God ; repent therefore of this thy wicked- 
 ness and pray God if perhaps the thought of thine 
 heart may be forgiven thee, For I perceive that thou 
 art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of 
 iniquity.

 THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 I've got a fine house 
 With servants and all, 
 I don't work for my living 
 Like a did Paul. 
 Jesus and Paul 
 Had no certain dwelling, 
 I have all of earth's comforts, 
 I get them by begging.

 Matt. 8 — 20. And Jesus saith unto him, The 
 foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, 
 but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 
 
 1 Cor. 4 — II, 12, 13. Even unto this present hour 
 we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are 
 buffeted and have no certain dwelling place, and 
 labour working with our own hands, being reviled we 
 bless, being persecuted we suffer it, being defamed we 
 intreat, we are made as the filth of the world and are 
 the offscouring of all things unto this day. 
 
 2 Thess. 3 — 7, 8, 9, 10, II, 12, 13, 14. For your- 
 selves know how ye ought to follow us, for we 
 behaved not ourselves disorderly among you, neither 
 did we eat any man's bread for nought, but wrought with 
 labour and travail night and day,, that we might not 
 be chargeable to any of you. Not because we have 
 not the power, but to make ourselves an ensample 
 unto you to follow us. For even when we were with 
 you this we commanded you, that if any would not 
 work neither should he eat, For we hear that there 
 are some which walk among you disorderly, working 
 not at all, but are busibodies. Now them that are 
 such, we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus 
 Christ that with quietness they work and eat their own 
 bread. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 
 
 \nd if any man obey '.ot our word by this epistle, 
 note that man and havv_ no company with him, that 
 he may be ashamed. 
 
lo 
 
 THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 To preach without begging 
 Would be to acknowledge, 
 Money and time wasted 
 Which I spent at college, 
 Thus exposing the college. 
 I'd proclaim to all living, 
 The true guide is the Bible 
 ^lu preaching and giving.

 THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 Isaiah 55—1, 2, 3 
 
 Ho, evryone that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, 
 and he that 'r.ath no money, come ye buy and eat, Yea, 
 come buy wine and milk without money and without 
 price. Wherefore d- ye spend money for that which 
 is not bread ? Hearken diligently unto me and eat ye 
 that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in 
 fatness, incline your ear and come unto me, hear and 
 your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting 
 covenant wit^ you even the sure mercies of David. 
 
 I Peter 5 — :, 2, 3, 4. The elders which are among 
 you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of 
 the suffenngs of Christ, and also a partaker of the 
 glory that shall be revealed ; feed the flock of God 
 which i« among you. taking the oversight thereof not 
 by constraint but willingly, not for filthy lucre but of 
 a ready mind, neither being lords over God's heritage 
 but being ensamples to the flock. And when the 
 chief shepherd shall apper^r. ye shall receive a crown, 
 of glory that fadeth not awry. 
 
 Matt. 10 — 7, 8. And as ye go preach, saying, the 
 kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse 
 the lepers, raise the dead, cast owt devils ; freely ye 
 have received, freely give. 
 
12 
 
 THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 The Book says God's servants 
 Don't preach for man's pay, 
 'Tis God's love constrains them, 
 They prove it each day. 
 I am not of that class, 
 You see by reflection 
 That whenever I preach, 
 I make a collection. 
 
 m^m 
 
13 
 THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 2 Cor. — 14, 15. For the love of God coustraineth 
 us, because we thus judge, that if one died for all, 
 then were all dead, And that he died for all, that 
 they which live should not henceforth live unto them- 
 selves, but unto Him which died for them, and rose 
 again. 
 
 1 John 4 — 10, II, 12, 13, 14. Herein is love, not 
 that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent 
 His Son to be tlje propitiation for our sins. Beloved, 
 if God so loved 'is, we ought also to love one another. 
 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one 
 another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected 
 in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in Him, 
 and He in us, l^ecause He hath given us of His 
 Spirit. 
 
 John 15 — 12, 13, 14. This is My commandment, 
 that ye love one another, as I have loved you. 
 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay 
 down his life for his friends Ye are My friends if ye 
 do whatsoever I command you. 
 
 2 Cor. 12 — 14, 15. Behol 1 the third time I am 
 ready to come to you ; and I will not be burdensome 
 to you ; for I seek not yours, but you ; for the 
 children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the 
 parents for the children. And I will very gladly 
 spend ana be spent for you, thou":h the more 
 abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

 THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 While I was in College 
 
 I paid as I ought, 
 
 Then why should I spend 
 
 Time and money for nought. 
 
 That would not be called wise 
 
 By any sane man, 
 
 So whenever 1 preach, 
 
 I be^; all I can.

 THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 
 Phil. 3 — 17, 18, 19, 20. Brethren, be followers 
 together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye 
 have us for an ensample, (For many walk, of whom 
 I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, 
 that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ ; whose 
 end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and 
 whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly 
 things). For our conversation is in heaven, from 
 whence also we look for the Saviour the Lord Jesus 
 Christ.

 Acts 20 — 31, 32, 33, 34, 35. Therefore watch and 
 remember, that by the space of three years I ceased 
 not to warn everyone night and day with tears. And 
 now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the 
 Word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and 
 to give you an inheritance auioug all them which are 
 sanctified. I have coveted no man's silver, or gold or 
 apparel, Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands 
 have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that 
 were with me. I have showed you all things, how 
 that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and 
 to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He 
 said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

 From the widow, the orphan, 
 
 The aged, the poor, 
 
 I beg all I can, 
 
 And still I want more. 
 
 So the plate's handed round,

 I want all they've got, 
 
 The very last cent.

 Ps. 68—4, 5. Sing unto God, sing praises > His 
 Name ; extol Him that rideth upon the heav ui, bv 
 His name Jah, and rejoice before Him. A Father 
 the fatherless and a judge of the widows is G( in h 
 holy habitation. 
 
 Ps. 146—9. The Lord preserveth the strangers ; 
 he relieveth the fatherless and widow but the way of 
 the wicked he turneth tipside down. 
 
 Is. 10—2. To turn aside the needy from judgment, 
 and to take away the right from the poor of My people 
 that widovvs may be their prey, and that they may rob 
 the fatherless. ' 
 
 Matt. 23—13, 14. But woe unto you Scribes and 
 Pharisees h^ pocrites ! for ye shut up the kingdom of 
 heaven again men ; for ye neither go in yourselves, 
 neith. r suffer ye them that are entering to go in' 
 Woe unto you you Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites ! 
 for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make 
 long prayer ; therefore ye shall receive the greater 
 damnation. 
 
i8 
 
 THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 For out widows and orphans, 
 And the aged divines, 
 ^fiind is provided, 
 We did wisely betimes. 
 Don't be selfish or mean. 
 Or you may be dunned. 
 But give us )w/r money 
 To strengthen our fund. 
 
THE GOD-M L)K MINISTER. 
 
 James 5—1, 2, 3. Go to now. ye rich men, weep 
 and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 
 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are 
 moth-eaten. Your jjold and silver is cankered ; and 
 the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and 
 shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped 
 treasure together for the last days. 
 
 Matt. 6 — 19, 20, 21. Lay not up for yourselves 
 treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth 
 corrupt and where thieves break throug and steal ; 
 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where 
 neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thie . es 
 do not break through nor steal, for where your 
 treasure is there will your heart be also. 
 
 Luke 12—16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. And he spake a 
 parable unto them, saying, the ground of a certain 
 rich man brought forth plentifully ; And he thought 
 within himself, saying, what shall I do, because I 
 have no room where to bestow my fruits ? And he 
 said this will I do, I will pull down my barns, and 
 build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits 
 and my goods. And I will say to my soul, soul thou 
 hast much goods laid up for many years, take thine 
 ease, eat, drink and be merry. But God said unto 
 him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required 
 of thee, then whose shall those things be which thou 
 hast provided. So is he that layeth up treasure for 
 himself and is not rich toward God. 
 
20 
 
 THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 The religion I preach 
 Is an invention of man, 
 'Tis keep all you've got 
 And beg all you can. 
 So the plate's handed round, 
 To be filled to the brim ; 
 Although some may sink, 
 I always can swim. 
 
21 
 
 THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 Eccles. 7 — 29. Lo, this only have I found, that 
 God hath made man upright ; but they have sought 
 out many inventions. 
 
 Is. 2 — 22. Cease ye from man whose breath is in 
 his nostrils ; for wherein is he to be accounted of ? 
 
 I John 2 — 15. Love not the world ; neither the 
 things that are in the world ; if any man love the 
 world, the love of the Father is not in him. 
 
 Matt. 6 — 24, 25, 26. No man can serve two 
 masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the 
 other ; or else he will hold to the one and despise the 
 other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon. There- 
 fore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, 
 what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet 
 for your body what ye shall put on. Is not the life 
 more than meat, and the body than raiment ? Behold 
 the fowls of the air ; for they sow not, neither do they 
 reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father 
 feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they ? 
 
 Matt. 10 — 29< 30, 31. Are not two sparrows sold 
 for a farthing ? and one of them shall not fall on the 
 ground witnout your Father. But the very hairs of 
 your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye 
 are ot more value tliau many sparrows. 
 

 
 22 
 
 THE MAN-MADE MINISTEF. 
 
 There's a question you may heai 
 Discussed every day, 
 Who gets the most profit 
 On the smallest outlay. 
 Not mechanics, not lawyers, 
 Not doctors, oh no, 
 My begging is all profit, 
 That really is so. 
 
23 
 
 THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 I Tim. 6 — 5, 6, 7, 8. Perverse disputings of men 
 of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing 
 that gain is godliness, from such withdraw thyself. 
 But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we 
 brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we 
 can carry nothing out, and having food and raiment 
 let us be therewith content. 
 
 Heb. 4 — 2. For unto us was the Gospel preached, 
 as well as unto them, but the Word did not profit 
 them, not being mixed with faith in them that 
 heard it. 
 
 Prov. 15 — 27. He that is greedy of gain trouble th 
 his own house. But he that hateth gifts shall live. 
 
 Phil. I— 21, 22, 23, 24. For me to live is Christ, 
 and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh this is 
 the fruit of my labour, Yet what I shall choose I 
 wot not, for 1 am in a strait betwixt two, having a 
 desire h- depart and to be with Christ, which is far 
 better. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more 
 jieedful for you, 
 
24 
 
 THE MAN-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 When reading the Bible 
 We often find a mistake, 
 Say some divine doctors, 
 Whose judgment I take. 
 But in one thing 
 We all agree to perfection, 
 That whenever we preach

 THE GOD-MADE MINISTER. 
 
 John 7—37. 3^. 39- In the last day that great day 
 of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man 
 thirst let him come unto ivie and drink, he that 
 believeth on Vie as the Scripture hath said, out of his 
 belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this 
 spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on 
 Him should receive, for the Holy Ghost was not yet 
 given ; because that Jesus was not yet glorified;. 
 
 I Cor. 2—12, 13, 14. Now ;e have received not 
 the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, 
 that w- might know the things that are freely 
 given to us of God, which things also we 
 speak, not in the words which man's wisdom 
 teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, com- 
 paring spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural 
 man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for 
 they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know 
 them, because they are spiritually discerned. 
 
 lyuke 24—45. Then opened He their understand- 
 ing, that they might understand the Scriptures.

 My clothes of black cloth 
 And it's clerical cut, 
 Insures me due reverence, 
 Whene'er I walk out, 
 And the prefix and affix 
 Attached to my name, 
 Proclaims to the world 
 That I am divine.

 works they do, for to be seen of men. they make 
 broad their Phylacteries and enlarge the borders of 
 heir garments, and love the uppermost rooms at 
 feasts and the chief seats in tU synagogues, and 
 greetings in the markets, and be to called of men Rabbi 
 Rabbi, but be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your 
 Master even Christ, and all ye are brethren, and call 
 no man your father upon the earth, for One is your 
 Father which is in heaven, neither be ye c - 
 masters, for one is your Master even Ch ist but he 
 that is greatest among you shall be your servant and 
 whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased, and he 
 that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

 Sometimes the thought coupes, 
 And Oh ! well it may, 
 Where shall I stand 
 In the great Judgment Day ? 
 The Judge is infallible, 
 He'll make no mistake, 
 And the Bible tells plainly, 
 Which road I must take.

 troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In

 know and the way ye know.

 world.
