Excerpt from The Circuit Rider on Foot: Or, My First Year in the Ministry Dear reader, this is my first effort at book-making. I do not know as one's experience become as interesting to others as to self. What one knows for himself may be of more worth to self than to any one else. Be that as it may, there may be great lessons drawn from other's experience. It certainly can do no harm to tell what one has known for himself in the line of duty. A minister's life is sometimes looked upon as an easy life. Some even think that is a pleasureable life, with little care and plenty to eat and wear. If there is any pleasure in the ministry it is not in the fact one is a minister, but rather in the fact that the duties of the office are performed to the best of one's ability. If there is a state of ease to one in the work it is the ease of conscience and not mortal laziness. A preacher's life is not a life of no cost and all pay.
