ONE day, in the depth of a severe winter, when the snow was deep on the ground, I was asked to call on a poor man, whom I found without food and firing. He had just been reading his bible, and he said to me, “I was just thinking what a rich portion mine is, for I can say the Lord is the portion of my soul; but what a poor portion the Lord’s is, for the Lord’s portion is His people.”
