Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Typical General Secretary: The Life of Edwin F. See
I have thought of him as a repro sentative man among those who, like himself, have devoted their lives to the building up of Christian character and the increase of Christian service among young men through the General Secre taryship of the Young Men's Christian Association. He was as truly typical of this very important leadership - I had almost said of this highest art - as was Saint Gaudens in sculpture, and as one who wished to show the lofty mis sion of art in efifiohling the ideals of a people might use the life of the most eminent artist to do so - making it serve as a fulcrum for his lever - I have hoped that this little volume might promote a similar end in showing clear ly the value of the personal equation and the type of gifts and graces needed in those who may hope for success in this field of Christian work.
