Emphasis Preaching Journal

A young woman attended a weekend conference. She had driven a long distance to be present. No one else in the conference knew her. In the course of a small group discussion each person was asked to share the most important contact he or she had outside the family circle. Finally, the young woman was asked to respond. She said that when she was about 10 years old Elton Trueblood visited her home. Her father was an elder in charge of the program at church where Dr. Trueblood was to speak, and he invited the speaker to stay in his home for a few days.
