Frederick William Conrad Call to the Ministry

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The questions accordingly arise: Must the laborers always be too few, and much of the harvest continue to perish? Has the Lord of the harvest been unwilling to call an adequate number Of laborers, or has the Church entertained erroneous views con cerning the call to the ministry, and failed to make the neces sary efforts to induce those called to enter her service To us it is manifest that the latter, and not the former, is the true cause Of the inadequacy Of the number Of ministers to preach the Gospel according to the great commission of Christ to every creature. This we hope to establish by an examination of the prevalent and true theories concerning the call to the ministry.
