Inscription for a Pulpit
This came through the Christian Quote for the Day; the thought is worthy of meditation.
Inscription for a Pulpit by Robert Hammond Adams (1883-1975)
"The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed." The hungry sheep, that crave the living Bread, Grow few, and lean, and feeble as can be, When fed not Gospel, but philosophy; Not Love's eternal story, no, not this, But apt allusion, keen analysis. Discourse well framed -- forgot as soon as heard -- Man's thin dilution of the living Word.
O Preacher, leave the rhetorician's arts; Preach Christ, the Food of hungry human hearts; Hold fast to science, history, or creed, But preach the Answer to our human need, That in this place, at least, it may be said No hungry sheep looks up and is not fed.
