To A Young Minister

Abstract

"I read your letter with great: pleasure. I congratulate you on the "call" and am uplifted that you should write to your old Minister and ask him for any advice he can give you as you face your new life. It is refreshing to find a young man who is not confident of omniscience but is conscious of his need of another's help. That is a promising disposition to start with, anc;l that you should tum to me bows my head and lifts my heart. In responding I would ask .you to keep this letter by you "to be taken as required." Much in it will seem unnecessary now, but as the days go by, I believe you will find something here prescribed which will help you. I say nothing to you which I have not said and find I still need to say to myself after over 30 years in the Ministry"
