I have been under a commanding sense of stewardship which impelled me to make this ministry central in my thought and life: to give Christ the preeminence in all things, and to give myself wholly to this work...I can honestly say, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision." Bishop Stamm closed his farewell address by saying "I am not tired of the Christian ministry...The years that lie ahead are in the hands of God...Officially I will stand on the sidelines, but I shall cheer for our leaders. I shall do more. I shall pray", Death Bishop Stamm died March 5, 1956. Selected writings Evangelism and Christian Experience, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: Evangelical Press, 1930.
