Some of us are mystics and some are practical men and women, some put the emphasis on prayer and worship, others are philanthropic and social services, some love to be up and doing and others love to stand and wait, some of us are of a choleric temperament, some phlegmatic, some sanguine, some of us are bright and gay and others somber and sad. And God is the God of all because He is the God of each. There is a place for each in His love and care. The love of God is broader than the measures of our mind and the heart of the Eternal large enough to take us all in. — Fred Barrett (the father of CKB, and a remarkable Methodist preacher of the first half of the 20th century).
