Instability in the pastoral office is the common fact and every pastor,
sooner or later, meets the question, Shall I change my field? One cause
of this is to be found, doubtless, in the restless spirit of the age,
which is impatient with the old and ever clamoring for the new. This is
specially the case in our country and is one of the natural results of
rapid growth and a widely-diffused spirt of enterprise.
