Excerpt from Sermons, Preached on Public Occasions But it Shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. WE can easily suppose, that, if we introduced these words, without illustration or comment, into a circle of men unaccustomed to the acting on high Chris tian principles, they would be received with feelings of scorn and dislike.
