Illus: Such is the case, when Dr. Odell Belger was starting in the ministry, as a young man in his mid twenties. When he was called to a church, the church had just had a ...read more

    Hope is the expectation of attainment. A man without hope has no fear. It is also true that a man without fear has no hope.
