entering the ministry. There is danger that through<br />

glowing representati<strong>on</strong>s some will be drawn out of<br />

the path where God bids them walk. Some have<br />

been encouraged to take a course of study in<br />

medical lines who ought to be preparing<br />

themselves to enter the ministry. The Lord calls for<br />

more men to labor in His vineyard. The words<br />

were spoken, “Strengthen the outposts: have<br />

faithful sentinels in every part of the world.” God<br />

calls for you, young men. He calls for whole<br />

armies of young men who are large-hearted and<br />

large-minded, and who have a deep love for Christ<br />

and the truth....<br />

It is not great and learned men that the ministry<br />

needs, it is not eloquent serm<strong>on</strong>izers. God calls for<br />

men who will give themselves to Him to be imbued<br />

with His Spirit. The cause of Christ and humanity<br />

demands sanctified, self-sacrificing men, those<br />

who can go forth without the camp, bearing the<br />

reproach. Let them be str<strong>on</strong>g, valiant men, fit for<br />

worthy enterprises, and let them make a covenant<br />

with God by sacrifice.<br />
