Were we to follow in the wake of a sister Mission, remembering all the supposed questions of advantage involved, we could ordain twenty-five men to-morrow, but we very much fear we would repent the step before the year would be out. We must have men educated in a higher school than the college, and teach them things which can only be learned by experience and... Read Less
