One of the great preachers of the nineteenth-century was a Scottish Presbyterian minister by the name of Alexander Whyte. Alexander Whyte was one of those wonderful people who had a living, loving relationship with his Savior. That, coupled with the fact that Reverend Whyte had done some serious soul-searching, made him loved by the congregation he served for almost 40 years. So great was their admiration that one day, a member of his church came, and gushed, “Dr. Whyte, I just love being in your presence. You are so saintly." Alexander Whyte looked the lady in the eye and replied, "Madam, if you could look into my soul, what you would see would make you spit in my face."
