Watching for Souls
They watch in behalf of your souls. Hebrews 13:17
"Watching for souls" was a common phrase in the speech of our fathers. It has largely fallen out of use in the Christian Church in the present day, or it is carelessly used, with sad ignorance of its Biblical sanctions and its proper values.

We Have the Mind of Christ
We have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16
