Numbered. Assigned. Appointed.
The total tribe of Levi is in place. The able-bodied soldiers ready. The organization is impeccable. "The Merarites were but 6200 in all, and yet of these there were 3200 serviceable men, that is, more than half." Soldiers were called at 20. Ministers were called at 30---an honor for those more in the prime of life. May we step into our calling even when the world may recognize us as returnable.
