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."

How Paul Became an Apostle
Rev Henry Bleby
"Paul's conversion and call to the Christian ministry and the apostleship is one of the most remarkable events in human history, showing that God's ways are not our ways, nor his thoughts our thoughts. ... Paul was the true successor of Judas, appointed by the highest possible authority, and that the election of Matthias, being disapproved by him whose sole prerogative it was to invest men with apostolic office and honor, was rendered by Paul's appointment entirely null and void."

How the Pastors Took Up the Collection
Rev LD Barrows
"WE always notice with much interest the manner in which pastors take their public benevolent collections.. In no place or duty can we more readily and accurately discover whether or not they are men of taste, culture, and earnest simplicity, agreeable or repulsive, efficient or inefficient, than in this important department of their work."

How to Hear
Adam Clarke
"Let it ever be remembered that the great Bishop of souls, the Lord Jesus, who had every ministerial qualification in absolute perfection, preached the everlasting Gospel to many who were not profited by it; and that, he departed from a certain place in which he could do no mighty works, because of the people's unbelief. Matt. xiii, 58. In this case it is manifest that the fault could not be in the preacher, nor in the matter of his discourse, but in the hearers only. The grand business, therefore, of the people is to inquire in the most serious manner how they are to hear so as to be saved." This tract lists 21 ways on how to hear.

How Will It Look at the Day of Judgment?
Rev E. Wentworth
"Reader, have you, too, thought bow that Sabbath traveling of yours; that pleasure excursion; that game of chance; that hunting tour; that novel reading; that needless visiting; that frivolous conversation; that secular letter-writing; that inspection of account books; that horse-racing, drinking, debauchery; that habit of staying from Church when you are conscious of the slightest indisposition, or the weather is ever so slightly unfavorable; have you thought how all or anyone of these will appear at the DAY OF JUDGMENT?"

I Did Just as You Told Me
"Mary Cass had-though living an outwardly moral and respectable life-been ignorant about the way of salvation through Christ until the time of her illness, but as soon as she was taught the truth she immediately obeyed it. "I did just as you told me," was her own account of the matter. Now contrast this with the conduct of her mother. Mary's mother trifled with her opportunity and lost it."
