A Shorter Work with an Impressive Spiritual Lesson. The story revolvesaround a young preacher, Mr. Blatherwick, who because he is self-confidentand prideful, makes a very big mistake which dogs him like the hound ofheaven throughout the story. He refuses to face himself, his faults and hisneed for a redeemer until his conscience almost drives him mad. He hadbecome a preacher to make a name for himself, and in reality he had nothingto offer and everything to hide. The characters here are very sympatheticand well drawn. We follow a grieving young girl, a compassionate olderminister from the neighboring town, the wise shoemaker and his daughter,and the dissapointed and alienated parents of the young preacher. Theending is quite a shocker.
Where pride rules, the soul is lost and the heart is dead. It is, while disappointing, not at all surprising that such a one as he is preparing to enter the church as one of God's ministers. Is he dedicated to God, does he revere the Almighty Creator, are his motives pure and altruistic, does he ache for the lost, hurt for those who hurt, cry with those who cry? Not hardly. The ministry offers him the opportunity to display his intellectual prowess and scholastic achievements as well as provides a vehicle by which he may readily obtain prominence, position, power, influence, and a quite comfortable living with minimal exertion-not unlike many pastors, priests, and ministers who I have personally had the distinct misfortune toencounter in this century. Rather than called of God, for he does not know God, to minister to His flock, Blatherwick has chosen the ministry as a profession. He cannot minister, for he cannot love. He cannot heal, for his heart knows no compassion. He cannot do anymore than repeat, from the pulpit, the words that he has memorized, the words that hold absolutely no meaning for him, the words which he himself does not truly believe. There abides, however, a loving and patient God who will take whatever steps He deems necessary to redeem and recover His lost sheep. While Blatherwick feels himself quite safe and secure within his thin veneer of pride, the Almightybegins to work. There resides in the same town in which Blatherwick is comfortably ensconced, a humble cobbler and his daughter, both, having neverattended seminary, know more of God than Blatherwick could have conceived possible. It is through the love, patience, understanding, and lives of these two children of God that Blatherwick begins to enter the 'fiery furnace' ofredemption and repentance. The redemption of a single soul is, indeed, a process of rebirth, for intrinsic to this procedure is often to be found agonizing and excruciating birth-pangs. It is doubtful whether it could be accomplished otherwise. The old must die, and he does not die willingly, while the new struggles midst cries of pain, sorrow, andsuffering to the surface. As the new birth is taking place midst the death of the old, there are prayers innumerable ascending toward the Throne of God. The angels and saints in Heaven, the children of God on earth-all participate in this glorious event. You are cordially invited to attend both the death and the rebirth of James Blatherwick. In attendance there may be many with whom you have had no prior experience. I ask that you pay particular heed to one old cobbler and hisloving daughter, Maggie. I also request that you not be shy, for this is truly a wondrous occasion. The Blatherwick family will be only too pleased towelcome you to the birth of their new son. ... Read more |
