Each in His Own Armour -- We are failing in another direction, and that is that men who can work should be linked in their labours with those who are inexperienced, that they may get an experience in the right direction. The inexperienced ones should not be sent out alone. They should stand right by the side of older and experienced ministers, where they could educate them. They should say to them, "You must not copy my gestures,
300
nor the tone of my voice, so that nobody will know whether you are speaking or whether I am speaking. You are to stand in your own armour, with your own phase of character, sanctified by God. You are not to take my phase of character, nor my gestures, nor my tone of voice, nor my expressions, nor my words."-- Ms 19b, 1890.
