...life of the ministry is one of hardship, of difficulties unforeseen, but it is a vocation that demands the best in men, and in the coming generation it is to be more important than ever in the past. Let us not ask for easy lives but for strength to meet the tasks that come through strenuous lives

The result of this division of responsibility is that nothing definite has been done, further than to test the strength of the old bridge, and thus insure the safety of the crowds who will witness the Harvard-Yale game on Saturday...
