A LEADING Methodist Church official in Indiana declared a year or so ago that the Methodist Church in North America needed about three thousand new ministers every year, but that only a little more than a thousand were leaving the seminaries each year to take positions in the church, and that out of this number some six hundred asked for clerical jobs or some sort of work that did not entail preaching.

OH, IT is wonderful, it is marvelous and wonderful what Jesus has done for this soul of mine. The half has never been told!"
