BABE RUTH’S TRIBUTE
The following testimony to the useful life of an old minister was given by “Babe” Ruth, the famous baseball player. “Most of the people who have really counted in my life were not famous. Nobody ever heard of them, except those who knew and loved them. “I knew an old minister once. His hair was white; his face shone. I have written my name on thousands of baseballs in my life. The old minister wrote his name on just a few simple hearts. How I envy him. Because he was not trying to please his own immortal soul, fame never came to him. I am listed as a famous home-runner, yet beside that obscure minister, who was so good and so wise, I never got to first base.” From The Civic Bulletin
