Christian Disinterestedness
Philippians 2:4
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.


It was said of Wilberforce that he was asked one day by a pious lady how the salvation of his own soul fared in the midst of business entailed on him by his efforts for the slave, and that he answered (surely a noble answer), "Madam, I forgot for the time I had a soul."

(W. H. Fremantle, M. A.)
