Pastoral Visitation - From Pastoral Theology 1877

Deeply important to the pastor are the questions, Who of his dear people are doubting-- Who tempted-- Who almost giving up in despair-- Who inquiring the way of life-- Who almost in the kingdom-- Who needing but a word from him to bring them to a happy decision for Jesus-- These wants can be found out only by his going amongst the people and seeing and hearing from themselves. The pastor will find that there are always those who are just waiting for him to open a conversation with them about their eternal interests.
