Spurgeon’s Autobiography!
To despise no opportunity of usefulness, is a leading rule with those who are wise to win souls. Mr. Knill might very naturally have left the minister’s little grandson on the plea that he had other duties of more importance than praying with children, and yet who shall say that he did not effect as much by that act of humble ministry as by dozens of sermons addressed to crowded audiences? At any rate, to me his tenderness in considering the little one was fraught with everlasting consequences, and I must ever feel that his time was well laid out. May we do good everywhere as we have opportunity, and results will not be wanting!
What a lesson to learn! Despise no opportunity of usefulness! How many times have we thought that this particular ministry is beneath us and we are not satisfied until we have such and such a ministry! Charles Spurgeon never forgot the pastor who took time to talk to him about Jesus and future ministry.
