Abstract
"The ministry is a strange calling - perplexing, precarious and foolish. It is, at least, disconcerting to have the kind of job which once seemed to have universal validity hut which now is regarded by many with suspicion and by some as absurd. Recently, in a train, I tried to tell a Hindu about my work and having · drawn the sketch I leaned back waiting for his response. He looked at me for a while with oriental patience and eventually managed a bemused murmur, • Well! I suppose we must all do something to earn a living '. Thus undone, I found refuge in some words by Lord Darling ·who once said that hundreds of years ago in the old Law books it was decided that to call a lawyer a fool was actionable because if he was a fool he could not be a good lawyer. But to say of a minister that he was· a fool was not actionable because the judges decided that he might still be a very good minister"
