CANCELING CALLS

 

     In my early years I was glad to be recognized by anybody, and to get a call once in a great while to the smallest church or camp. But now, after these forty years of hard study

     After all, I believe I had rather be a humble, radical, holiness evangelist than anything else. It is a great privilege to mold character for God. The greatest calling ever entrusted to man is that of SOUL-WINNING. If we fail in this -- no difference about our eloquence, our position, our ability to dedicate churches, preside at great gatherings or do a dozen other things -- we are failures before God.
