Dr. J. Whit comb Brougber believes In

One of hla wall-known sayings Is. "Jesus

this thought, ha asya ha has striven at
least to be a helpful preacher. , He seeks
to find out what the people really need,
and then gives It to them. He 'says
that a Chriatianity that does not help
people In tha great struggles of life Is
not worth having. A sermon thst does
aot lead people to a better, happier life
la hardly worth hearing.
The great problem a preacher has to
face, however. Is ta meet the needs of
auch a vast number of people, with such
a variety Of sxpertenoes. A preacher,
therefore, cannot strive to please- every
body, but simply make aa effort to-be as
helpful ta as many as possible. In the
effort to be successful In life, everyone
hss to meet some difficulties and ever,
