As to the Lord, Not to Men – Charles Spurgeon
Whether we are servants or masters, whether we are poor or rich, let us take this as our watch-word, “As to the Lord, and not to men.” Henceforth may this be the engraving of our seal and the motto of our coat-of-arms; the constant rule of our life and the sum of our motive.
