1t Runs Through
My Mind
When The Hair Is Silver
BY POLLY J. HANST


There is something SO rcassuring
about an elderly person with silver
hair, especially when the voice is
soft.
This is especially true when We
see and hear one in the pulpit. May
be it's because we always think of
the early prophets as being elderly
men with white hair that gives us
a feeling that these men have been
endowed with a special gift from
God
The lift of the hand, the bow of
the head, the move of the body as
they face the altar all radatc a
spirit Of reverence and is felt by a
congregation.
In our thinking and planning for
that retired age, which is in the
thinking of most socially minded
groups, | hope the ministers are
still used within the limits Of their
strength.
a little lady from whom I've
gotten so much inspiration, now in
her seventies, has recently been or
daincd a minister. She had the
schooling for it as young wo-
man. She now has the full duties Of
a pastor, preaching, going to meet
ings, making her calls.
Having always lived in a parson-
age she said. It's so good to be
back in a parsonage again. With
Dads and the childrcn's and grand
childrcn's pictures on the mantcl,
| feel that am home
At least once in the lifetime of
every person he should have the
experience of being close to min
lister who is elderly. | wonder if
that isn't the period in ones life
when spiritual growth is the great
est.
