Consider the following quote regarding a pastor's philosophy of ministry.
A "tendency is to thoroughly popularize the ministry. He is no longer God's man, but a man of affairs, of the people. He prays not, because his mission is to the people. If he can move the people, create an interest, a sensation in favor of religion, an interest in Church work— he is satisfied. His personal relation to God is no factor in his work. Prayer has little or no place in his plans."
