Pride – Charles Spurgeon

When men refuse to hear the gospel from the lips of a gracious but uneducated preacher, they remind us of the Spaniard in South Auriea, who surficial severely from the gout, but refused to be cured by an Indian. ” I know,” said he, “that he is a furious man, and would certainly cure me, but he is an Indian, and would expect to be treated with attentions which I cannot pay to a man of color, and there- fore I prefer remaining as I am.”
