31. BACK TO SCHOOL

Some time after Todd’s conversion he entered a school in a nearby town to prepare himself for the call which God had given him to the ministry. He was surprised when making application for admission to find that the president was the same man who filled that office in the first school he had attended, and who had said, "You can be a man if you want to." When he entered the room and the president recognized him he said, "Well, well, if it is not my old friend, Todd, what can I do for you?" Todd said, "Doctor, I have come to see about entering school." The president remembering the old days, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Todd, what do you want to go to school for?" When he replied, "To study for the ministry," the good president sprang to his feet and giving him a glad hand said, "Well, we are delighted to have you then."

Two years after his conversion God gave him man’s greatest temporal blessing, a good wife, a true Christian helpmeet.
