Advice for young preachers!

I thank God that i was stuck down in a quiet little obscure place to begin my ministry;for that is what spoils half of you young fellows.You get pitchforked into prominent positions at once,then fritter yourselves away in all manner of little engagements that you call duties....instead of stopping at home and reading your Bibles,and getting near to God.I thank God for the early years of struggle and obscurity. (Alexander Maclaren).
