John Kenneth Galbraith, a noted economist and confidant of
President Lyndon Johnson, received a call at his home from the president. Emily, the housekeeper answered the
phone. President Johnson identified
himself and asked to speak with Ken Galbraith.
Emily responded that he had asked not to be disturbed. The President replied, “Wake him up. I want to talk with him.” The dutiful housekeeper answered:” No. Mr.
President. I work for him, not you.” Later
when Ken Galbraith returned President Johnson’s call he told Ken he wanted
Emily to come work for him at the White House.
Now as then, the general view of a servant is that they are
lowly workers, but a good one brings pleasure to his master. Of His own account, Jesus stated that He did
not come into our world to be served but rather to be a servant. The Father Himself referred to Jesus as His “Beloved
Servant.”

English farmer and Pastor. Morgan came to trust Christ as Savior at an early
age and preached his first sermon at age 13.
He served as Pastor of the famed Westminster Chapel of London for many
years. He spent 67 of his 81 years of
life in ministry. G. Campbell Morgan was
called “the Prince of Expositors in the twentieth century. He died in 1945.
