Humility of a Minister
Ephesians 3:8
To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given…


Doctor Durham, of the Scottish Presbyterians, and a popular young minister, were walking together to their several places of worship, situated near to each other, into one of which multitudes crowded, while but few entered the other. "Brother," said the Doctor to his young friend, "You will have a crowded church today." The other replied, "They are to blame who leave you and come to us." "Not so," replied the Doctor, "for a minister can receive no such honour and success in his ministry, except it be given him from heaven. I rejoice that Christ is preached, and that His kingdom is gaining ground, though my estimation in people's hearts should decrease; for I am content to be anything, so that Christ may be all in all."
