Excerpt from The Princeton Seminary Bulletin, Vol. 14: May, 1920 Permit me to extend to you this morning most sincere and hearty congratulations. I stand here unofficially as the spokesman for the Seminary, the church, and especially for the ministry whose service you now join in the interests of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. The interest in an occasion like this may not be adequately expressed by any exer cises in which we engage. The urgent call in these days for the devotion of men to interests other than material is so wide-spread and em phatic that the graduation exercises of our theological seminaries take on a new and ln creased interest. Thirty - eight years ago at the Western Theological Seminary I was in your position and now after a generation of service I come to you with some Observations growing out of this experience in the hope that you may put a new appraisal upon the impor tance of the service of the minister to his gen cration. Accordingly, I have selected for the topic Of this address, The Ministry for the Modern Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
