Daniel Dana - The Importance of Seriousness for a Minister (1840)

Daniel Dana - The Importance of Seriousness for a Minister (1840) . . . 

Daniel Dana (1771-1859) was a Presbyterian pastor in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. This piece was originally an article in the American Quarterly Register. In it, Dana speaks to the reasons why a minister must be serious, the nature of a minister's seriousness, and the influence and effect of his seriousness. This topic is generally unknown in our day and age, thus it is well worth thirty minutes of your time.
