“O thou confident leaf!…” |
Thou hast been confirmed in serving those who are
nigh unto the divine household. Thou hast been cut
from aught else save God and hast been made a maid-servant
for the men of God

This is now servitude by sovereignty, and this is not
service but chieftanship and greatness! This is the garment
of everlasting glory with which thou hast clothed
thyself, and this is the rose of eternal exaltation with
which thou hast adorned thy head. It is said in the
New Testament: “Whosoever will be chief among you,
let him be your servant.” In short, thou shouldst thank
God a hundred-thousand times for having been confirmed
and strengthened in obtaining such a great gift!
Know thou the value thereof and consider that its price
is highly appraised.
