This worthy man was almost garrulous about his master. Count the number of times in which he contrives to introduce those two words, “my master.” He put the errand on which he had come before his necessary food, and poured out his story in a stream of crystal utterance, which was the highest eloquence. This identification of his thought and speech with his master’s interests is full of teaching for us all. He could talk of nothing else, was only anxious not to

fail for Abraham’s sake; and took the favorable reply as kindness shown to him whom he represented. George Herbert caught the same spirit when he spoke of “the aromatic fragrance” of “My Master’ when appled to Jesus. We, too, are called to be ambassadors, as though God did beseech men by us. If we are in the way of God’s will, be sure that the Lord will not only lead, but lead “in the right way,’ and will create for us a sympathetic reception whither we go.
