A French king was found one day by some of his attendants engaged in teaching his cook’s little boy out of the Scriptures.
They said it was beneath his dignity as the king of France to be engaged in teaching his cook’s child.
His answer was a noble one. “My friends,” he said, “this boy has a soul that is as precious as mine, and it was bought with the same precious blood. If it was not beneath the dignity of my Saviour, the King of glory, to die for him, it is not beneath the dignity as king of France to tell him what has been done for his salvation.”
