"There was a young American Presbyterian minister, whose besetting sin was not laziness, but conceit. He frequently boasted in public that all the time he needed to prepare his Sunday sermon was the few minutes it took him to walk to church from his manse next door. Perhaps you can guess what his elders did: they brought him a new manse five miles away!"
(John Stott, Between Two Worlds, Eerdmans, 1982, pp 211)
