The other officers said, "What right have you here?" He said, "I am a captain of the corps." "What, who made you that? Where is your uniform." Ah! he had the emperor's word, and he wanted and needed no more. Brethren, imitate this little incident in the more solemn matter of your soul's salvation. Are you a sinner? Are you..."
