Some look with contempt upon those whom the Lord honors. They regard them with indifference because they have not had the educational advantages they themselves have enjoyed. But though not highly educated, these children of God are consecrated to his service, and they work for him with self-denial. In his sight they are much farther advanced than many who have had greater opportunities and have been entrusted with a greater number of talents. Let us rejoice that the Lord does not measure the workers in his vineyard by their learning or by the educational advantages they have had. The tree is judged by its fruit. The Lord will co-operate with those who co-operate with him, even though, judged by the world's standard, they may not be educated.

Nogle ser med Foragt på sådanne, som Herren ærer. De betragter dem med Ligegyldighed, fordi de ikke har haft den Anledning til Uddannelse, som de selv har nydt. Men skønt disse Guds Børn ikke har nogen stor Uddannelse, så er de helt hengivne i hans Tjeneste, og de arbejder for ham under Selvfornægtelse. I hans Øjne er de meget længere fremme end mange, som har haft større Anledninger, og som har fået flere Talenter. Lad os glæde os over, at Herren ikke måler Arbejderne i sin Vingård efter deres Lærdom eller efter de Anledninger, de har haft til at erholde Uddannelse. Træet bedømmes efter det Frugt. Herren vil samarbejde med dem, som samarbejder med ham, selv om de verdslig set ikke besidder Lærdom.
