A test of a great man, as well as a test of a modest man, in the true sense, is whether he is willing to have other able and eminent men around him as his assistants and fellow-workers. The most remarkable instances of this among our Presidents were Washington and Lincoln.
He had been used, however, to so little personal appreciation in his life that he had grown of late to look forward, with pathetic eagerness, to the hearty morning greeting of his fellow-workers for one of whom, a fresh-coloured youth named Baldwin, he had come to cherish a positive affection.
He prayed for others by name, and still does. He prayed with others: A habit that might well be more widely copied. A few minutes spent in quiet prayer by friends or fellow-workers before parting wonderfully sweetens the spirit, and cements friendships, and makes difficulties less difficult, and hard problems easier of solution.
For the end we always aim at is to save those who hear us. Think what that is! What a magnificent life work! It is to fight against sin, to destroy the works of the devil, to make human souls gentle, noble and godlike, to help on the progress of the world, to sow the seed of the future, to prepare the population of heaven, to be fellow-sufferers and fellow-workers with Christ, and to glorify God.
I had been working in this way perhaps fourteen months when an accident occurred in the mine at which I was engaged. There was a serious fall of earth and masonry; two or three of my fellow-workers were killed on the spot, and I was taken up for dead. I was removed to a local hospital there had been some serious injury to my head and spine, but I still had life in me, and I was brought round.
And so they entered the "Pig and Whistle," and were greeted enthusiastically by the red-headed barmaid, while many voices went up to greet them, showing that already they had got on the right side of the men who were to be their fellow-workers. "Gen'leman 'ere yet?" queried Cleek, jerking his thumb in the direction where Borkins had stood the night before.
However, people had their whims, and he mused on the scheme of the universe which ordained that certain people should have whims, and that others should humour those whims whether they liked it or not. Many people many of his fellow-workers talked of the day when the universal levelling would take place and when all men could be equal.
There was a stamping of feet, a clanking of knives on glasses, a cry of "Hear! Hear!" Martin Briggs knew it by heart and launched it with the aid of two swallows of water. His voice boomed big. "Fellow-workers, friends, and the Old Man!" This produced tumults of applause. "We are met to-night on a solemn occasion. Ties are to be severed, friends parted. Such is life. Mr.
Without loving our work, and doing it to the best of our ability, as in the sight of God, we cannot be fellow-workers with Him who hath made our bodies so wonderfully, and cultivated our souls so carefully; for "ye are God's building" "ye are God's husbandry." "An awakening" expresses better than the stereotyped phrase "revival," the idea of a wide-spread interest in religious truth.
The heads of a great concourse of his fellow-workers in the Arts were bowed around his tomb. In the spring of the year 1853, I observed, as conductor of the weekly journal Household Words, a short poem among the proffered contributions, very different, as I thought, from the shoal of verses perpetually setting through the office of such a periodical, and possessing much more merit.
