The Saviour Exalted Self Eclipsed.

WHEN C. H. Spurgeon was preaching in a large hired hall in London, a terrible accident occurred through a false alarm of fire.
He thus refers to it.
“I did my best to hold the people together till I heard that some were dead, and then I broke down like a man stunned; and for a fortnight... so broken in heart that I thought I should never be able to face a congregation again. I went down to a friend’s house a few miles away, to be very quiet and still. I was walking round his garden, and I well remember the spot, and even the time, when this passage came to me, ― ‘Him hath God exalted with His right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour’ (Acts 5:3131Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5:31)); and this thought came into my mind at once, ‘You are only a soldier in the Great King’s army, and you may be in a ditch; but it does not matter what becomes of you as long as your King is exalted. He is glorious. “God hath highly exalted Him”!
... What matters it about me?’”
