tion Strain ofn Ministers Rev John Mount of Oshawatolda seminar of Unitedchirrch ministers in Peterborough that the occupational hazard of the calling is nervous breakdowb This may come as surprise to many laymen but not to the ministers them selves The Peterborough Examiner com ments It is nevertheless important that all should be aware oxthe demands 01min lsterlng to congregation It is something less than desirable for congregations to seek spiritual calm from harassed and bar ried mlnisters whose tranquility is only on the surface Then The Examiner continues Mr Moffat gives good advice it is advice which should be followed by all men upon whose nervous energy great demands are made Rest and relaxation vare great spirit uai and physicalcreators and in advocat ing this we must make our meanlneclear By rest and relaxation we do not mean laz iness and sloth or neglect or work It is possible to do great deal of work without becoming tired and harassed providing the mind is not cluttered or strained with un necessary concerns church minister for example may be as worried over the arrangementsand success ofthe annual tea and sale as he is over the spiritual well being or his flock church more so today than at any time inthepast is centre for social activities and recreation the minister is expected more often than not to be the power be hind such enterprise indeed he may well feel it is his duty to urge every activity of his church on to successon his own guar antees The effect of spending valuable energyin this direction is catalogued by Mr Mcifat no proper time for sermon preparation Spreading oneself too thinly has other drawbacks as well We have no intention of giving ser mon here butlt seems to us that one of the most important aspects of churchgoing is the sermon In it the congregation expects something at which Bishop Latimer hinted in 1548 Oh that our prelate would be as dillgenbe to sowe the come of good doctrine as Sathan is to sowe cockel and darnel And this is the deuilyshe plough ings the which twprcketh toihavuthinges in latine and letbetlr the frubetul edificult The thin sermon is no newcause of complaint Chaucer Mltonlohn Knox have complained of it the teaching duty of the ministry was sacrificed to the organ ization mania in their day as well To sowthe gooddoctrine needs more than hackneyed sermon it means re furnishlng the mind with spiritual and phil osophic matter from reading learning and contemplation from literature and the best works of man It is this kind of relaxation we have in rnind it is kind which cannot be done while hustlingsupport tor the church bazaar Canadian Dictionary distinctively Canadian dictionary is be ing compiled of words hsed in this country borrowed from Britain the United States and
