"`No, I couldn't,' he said soberly. `I tried to be something else for a long time -- I didn't want to be a minister. But I came to see at last that it was the work given me to do -- and God helping me, I shall try to do it.'

SHE would be no feather, blown about by every fickle wind of fancy. SHE would always know what hat to put on. Probably she would have only one. Ministers never have much money. But she wouldn't mind having one hat or none at all, because she would have Jonas.

Good night,
PHIL."
