One day a minister wrote a stinging reply to a caustic criticism of him that had appeared in the local small town newspaper.

Before he sent it he had several of his ministerial friends look it over and make comment.

One of them wrote across the top, “Not sufficiently redemptive.” He had made his case, proved that he was right, but the price, if he sent his letter, would be too high.

“Do nothing from selfishness or conceit….” That’s the way Paul put it.

But that’s a large order, for unfortunately there is no scarcity of either in the hearts of men.

Selfishness and conceit, oh how often they are giants in our hearts. And oh, how often they make bigots and shrews, and cause even the kindest Christian to not always be so kind. They are truly a cancer to the soul.

A proper balance is hard to accomplish. Too little pride and you have no confidence. Too much and you become vain. Too little and you never reach your potential. Too much and you begin to act as if you are God.

“We all want to play Hamlet,” is the way Carl Sandburg put it.

“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”
—Ecclesiastes 1:2
