Christ taketh as poor men may give: where there is a mean portion. He is content with the less, if there be sincerity; broken sums and little feckless obedience will be pardoned, and hold the foot with Him . . . He breaketh not a bruised reed, nor quencheth the smoking flax: but if the wind blow. He holdeth His hands about it till it rise to a flame.

S. Rutherford.
