A true Christian gladly works for the souls of the people without hope
of any earthly fee or reward, but such an elevated policy naturally
appears aimless to the selfish or unenlightened worldling.
Gipsy Smith says: “My father was once preaching in the open air
at Leytonstone. A coster in his donkey-cart shouted out, ‘Go it,
old party, you will get ’arf a crown for that job.’ My father
stopt his address for a moment, and said quietly, ‘No, young
man, you are wrong; my Master never gives half-crowns. He gives
whole crowns.’” (Text.)
