Greatness Realized in Humble Service
Mark 10:35-45
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Master, we would that you should do for us whatever we shall desire.…


Dr. Chalmers was great when he presided over the General Assembly of his church, and when he lectured in the Divinity Hall from his professor's chair, and when he electrified vast audiences by his power in the pulpit all over Scotland, but never did he attract more reverential admiration or loving regard than when he was seen walking through the dark "closes" and filthy lanes of Edinburgh, with ragged children clinging to his fingers and to his skirts, as he led them out and gathered them into the schools he had organized for their benefit.

(M. D. Hoge, D. D.)
