I have heard of Robert Burns, that on
one occasion when at church, he sat in a
pew with a young lady whom he observed
to be much affected by certain terrible
passages of Scripture which the minister
quoted in his sermon.

The wicked wag scribbled on a piece of
paper a verse which he passed to her.
I fear that the substance of that verse
has been whispered into many of your
ears often:

"Fair maid, you need not take the hint,
Nor idle texts pursue;
'Twas only sinners that he meant,
Not angels such as you."

This sermon is meant for those who think
themselves angels as well as for those
who know themselves to be sinners.

Cease from all dreamy confidences.
Arouse yourselves from proud self-
content, and come to Jesus the Savior,
who alone can save from sin and death.

--C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)
