Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Unpopular Men
A tender regard for all humanity Is a sign of true greatness. It is the trade-mark of a genuine Christianity. It is the master sign of an apostolic church. To believe that a man with £60 a year. Canon ldon once said. Is just as much worthy of respect as a man with you must be seriously a Christian. Lord Chesterfield showed a touch of the true spirit when he wrote a clause in his will leaving to each of his ser vants' two years' wages. These are his words: I consider them. Said my Lord. As unfortunate friends; my equals by nature. And my infe riors only by the difference of our fortunes. How pleasant it is to turn to the last will and testament of John Wesley and read: Let me be borne to the grave by six poor men: let there be no hearse. No coach. No escutcheon. No pomp, no funeral eu logy - nothing but the tears of those who love me.
