Emphasis Preaching Journal

Years ago, while I was a seminary student in Pittsburgh, I had the opportunity of a summer's experience in a small church in St. Charles, Iowa. I knew no one there, of course. I had never seen the town. The session made arrangements that I would stay in the home of a retired mailman and his wife. They lived right across the street from the church, and they continued to be active there even into their older years. How good they were to me, providing me a home and welcoming me into their family!
