A true minister does the work of the Master. He feels 329 the importance of his work, realizing that he sustains to the church and to the world a relation similar to that which Christ sustained. He works untiringly to lead sinners to a nobler, higher life, that they may obtain the reward of the overcomer. His lips are touched with a live coal from the altar, and he uplifts Jesus as the sinner's only hope. Those who hear him know that he has drawn near to God in fervent, effectual prayer. The Holy Spirit has rested upon him, his soul has felt the vital, heavenly fire, and he is able to compare spiritual things with spiritual. Power is given him to tear down the strongholds of Satan. Hearts are broken by his presentation of the love of God, and many are led to inquire, "What must I do to be saved?"

En sand prædikant gør Mesterens gerning. Han føler betydningen af sin opgave og er klar over, at han overfor menigheden og verden skal opretholde et lignende forhold, som Kristus gjorde. Han arbejder utrætteligt for at lede syndere til et højere, ædlere liv, så de kan opnå den sejrendes løn. Hans læber er berørt af en glød fra alteret og han ophøjer Jesus som synderes eneste håb. De, som hører ham, ved, at han har været Gud nær i inderlig, brændende bøn. Helligånden har hvilet over ham, hans sjæl har mærket den levende, himmelske ild og han er i stand til at drage sammenligninger mellem de åndelige spørgsmål. Han får kraft til at nedbryde Satans befæstninger. Hjerterne smelter ved hans fremstilling af Guds kærlighed og mange kommer til at spørge: "Hvad skal jeg gøre for at blive frelst?"
