The Joy of the Ministry: An Endeavour to Increase the Efficiency and Deepen the Happiness of Pastoral Work (Classic Reprint)

by Frederick R. Wynne

Excerpt from The Joy of the Ministry: An Endeavour to Increase the Efficiency and Deepen the Happiness of Pastoral WorkOne workman cannot give to his fellow-worker the strength of hand, Clearness of sight, wisdom of heart, with which skilled labour has to be carried on; from the Creator, and not from the fellow-creature, these gifts must come. But he can give his comrade many a useful hint, Show him in many a little way how his work can best be got through, and cheer and guide his apprentice efforts by sympathy and counsel. To endeavour to do this for each other is surely our right, our duty, and our privilege. I claim the right and exercise the privilege as I send out these pages among my brethren, hoping that the spirit in which they receive them will cause the little endeavour to be for many hearts a real success.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
