Good Counsels for Plain People
Rev WS Plumer
"READER, I am a plain person. I have seen hard times. I have been cast upon the Lord from my birth. All my life I have been a child of Providence. I am familiar with poverty and hardship. My feelings have often been hurt by the gay and the proud. I have been sick among strangers. I have often wept when all around were merry. I have acquired a small share of knowledge. Some of it I know by experience to be valuable. Allow one who wishes you well to give you a few counsels."

Come, while yet there is room; come and prove that God is the Father of all them that believe. ... with true penitence by faith in Jesus Christ, the Mediator and Advocate, the Captain of our salvation; in whom, to every believer, God is well pleased to be a father and a Friend forever."

Hints to Young Ministers
Rev William Jones
"You are separated from the general business of life by being called of God to the work of the ministry. The Holy Ghost said, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereto I have called them." Paul said to Timothy, "Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace." "And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron." Your ministry, therefore, is not a profession but a divine calling; not a department of life, of your seeking, but of God's appointment. The Church recognizes this call of God, and supplements it with ordination and assignment to certain fields or departments of work."
