Excerpt: ...There can be no misunderstanding between us: He cannot be misinformed. The evangelist must come close, in sympathy and counsel, to the personal and individual life of those whom he would help. Perhaps the best way to emphasize this point would be to insert here words written by a woman who has been thinking on this subject. She says: "I have never had a pastor.

Excerpt: ...There can be no misunderstanding between us: He cannot be misinformed. The evangelist must come close, in sympathy and counsel, to the personal and individual life of those whom he would help. Perhaps the best way to emphasize this point would be to insert here words written by a woman who has been thinking on this subject. She says: "I have never had a pastor. It is the one good thing lacking in my life. I have grown up among ministers, and have had many friends among them-some of them have cared for me.

My friend loves me-that does not matter-it is his spiritual intensity I care for. And this is his reward for his fidelity and tenderness: In the hour when I come to die, when one does not ask for father or mother, or husband or wife, or brother or sister, or friend or child, but only for the strong comfort of the man of God-in that hour, I say, if I be at all able to make my wishes known, I shall send for that man to come to me.
