Falcons and Owls

“Some men never can do much for God in the way which they would prefer, for they were never cut out for the work. Owls will never rival falcons by daylight; but, then falcons would be lost in the enterprise of hunting barns at night for rats and mice . . . Friend, be true to your own destiny! One man would make a splendid preacher of downright hard-hitting Saxon; why must he ruin himself by cultivating an ornate style” (Charles Spurgeon, An All-Round Ministry, pp. 232-233).
