Christ spent most of His time during the three years He was engaged publically about His Father’s business in training twelve men. The training He gave them was very different from the training of the schools at that present day. The world teaches men that they must seek to be great; Christ taught that His disciples must be little; that in honor they must prefer one another; that they are not to be puffed up, not to harbor feelings of envy, but to be full of meekness and gentleness, and lowliness of heart. This spirit of seeking to be the greatest has nearly ruined the Church of God at different times in its history. If the Church had not been Divine it would have gone to pieces long ago. There is hardly any movement of reform today that has not been in danger of being thwarted and destroyed through this miserable spirit of ambition and self- seeking. May God enable us to get above this, to cast away our conceit and pride, and take Christ as our teacher, that He may show us in what spirit His work ought to be done. Be Blessed....
