‘One of the best universities, and one far too unvisited, is the retired apartment of suffering poverty, the cottage or the garret of the afflicted; and one of the best lectures in divinity, and most fruitful of Christian conferences, is conversation about the things of God with those “poor of this world,” whom “God has chosen rich in faith.” Many a Minister has there first learned the lesson of saving knowledge for his own soul, and there has carried the best lessons which he could give to his people.’ Bickersteth’s Christian Student, p. 37.
