Dedication

To Dr. George Rice, teacher, pastor, and friend

“The greatest work of the teacher is to lead those under his charge to be intellectual Christians” (1MR 322).

“As the physician deals with physical disease, so does the pastor minister to the sin-sick soul. And his work is as much more important than that of the physician as eternal life is more valuable than temporal existence” (GW 338).

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Proverbs 17:17).
