When man pleaded with Him to rest, He answered: 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.' When one of Christ's followers desired to express the true nature of his work and office, he called himself a servant.

He used a word, 'doulos,' which means, in the Greek language, a slave or a bond-servant.

By the word 'doulos' he meant to say that his mission in life was to work, to do good, to serve.

This man was a great preacher, but it is possible for any one to become a 'doulos' in so far as he is willing to serve God and his fellowman.

You see, Sibylla, the spirit of Christian work and brotherly love is the spirit of 'doulos.' The word has been transformed by service and unselfish devotion to duty.
