2 Kings 6:1-6 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with you is too strait for us.… On one occasion the wife of General Sir Bartle Frere drove to a railway station to meet her husband. She told the footman to go and find his master. The servant, who had been engaged in Sir Bartle's absence, asked how he should know the General. "Oh," replied Lady Frere, "look for a tall gentleman helping somebody." The description was sufficient. The servant went, and found the General helping an old lady out of a railway carriage. How well it is for men and women themselves, as well as for the world they bless, when they are known by God to be persons who are always trying to help somebody! (Quiver.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. |
