Importance of Servants in a Household
Baxendale. Luke 7:1-10 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.… A worldly man began to taunt a celebrated preacher, and, among other things, told him it was true his congregation was large, but it was chiefly made up of servants and low people. "I know it is," said the sagacious divine. "My Church is composed of such converts as Jesus Christ and His apostles gained; and as for servants, I had rather be instrumental in converting them than their employers." "Why so?" inquired the man. "Because," observed the minister, "they have the care of all the children." (Baxendale.)
