The Poor not to be Despised
Proverbs 22:2
The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.


Leslie, the painter, tells us of his hearing the preference expressed by Rogers for seats in churches without pews opposed by a gentleman who preferred pews, and said, "If there were seats only, I might find myself sitting by my coachman." Rogers replied, "And perhaps you may be glad to find yourself beside him in the next world."

(Francis Jacox.)
