“A critic recently described me, with deadly acuteness, as having 'a kindly dislike of my fellow-creatures.'

“The last sort I shall mention are verbal critics - mere word-catchers, fellows that pick out a word in a sentence and a sentence in a volume, and tell you it is wrong.

“My fellow critics and I may occasionally fault a movie for departing, in detail or in spirit, from its literary source, but the grousing of a few adult pedants is nothing compared to the wrath of several million bookish 10-year-olds.

“My brethren, let me say, be like Christ at all times. Imitate him in "public." Most of us live in some sort of public capacity-many of us are called to work before our fellow-men every day. We are watched; our words are caught; our lives are examined-taken to pieces. The eagle-eyed, argus-eyed world observes everything we do, and sharp critics are upon us. Let us live the life of Christ in public. Let us take care that we exhibit our Master, and not ourselves-so that we can say, "It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me."” MenWorldCareChristianChristTakenPiecesOur LivesMastersCapacityLet MeFellowsCriticsCaughtTake CareChristian LifeAll TimeLive LifeFellow ManEaglesExhibitsBrethrenOur Words Author:Charles Spurgeon
