13/22 Pastors are worried over their congregations,--occasionally about their salaries, very often about their large families, and now and again about their fitness for their holy office,--and there are few congregations that, at one time or another, are not worried _by_, as well as _about_, their pastors. The miner is worried when he sees his ledge "petering out," or finds the ore failing to assay its usual value. The editor is worried lest his reporters fail to bring in the news, and often worried when it is brought in to know whether it is accurate or not. The chemist worries over his experiments, and the inventor that certain things needful will persist in eluding him. The man who has to rent a house, worries when rent day approaches; and many who own houses worry at the same time. |
