I shall never forget Ralph Rockwell. He was the farmer on our place in the country. Ralph was a New Englander of the old school, always caring for the place as though it were his own. He said to me once, when I was presuming to give him advice: “Tell you what, Dr. Peale, you do the preaching. I'll do the farming.” It is good to remember to take advice as well as give it.
