MINISTER Need ot Personal Tenderness, – Charles Spurgeon

Speaking of the temper requisite to the right discharge of ministerial duty, Person said, ” I never was fit to say a word to a sinner, except when I had a broken heart myself ; when I was subdued and melted into penitency, and felt as though 1 had just received pardon to my own soul, and when my heart was full of tenderness and pity. No anger, no anger.”
