A Fearless Preacher
Ezekiel 2:6
And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you…


It is said that when a Roundhead in St. Andrew's, Holborn, levelled a musket at the breast of the venerable prelate Hacker, and bade him desist from preaching, he never hesitated for one moment, but simply said, "Soldier, do your duty; I shall continue to do mine."

(W. Denton.)
