A short word of encouragement, for pastors, from a pastor . . . a pastor who felt that his work, his ministry, his church had become all but totally insignificant . . . a faithful but ordinary preacher in a small country church. Yet Spurgeon himself had words of honor for such men. Christ too will some day reward His undershepherds! Listen and take heart to stay the course. Truly God is responsible for the special fruits of ministry that ripen in the light of eternity.
