the path of self-renunciatioT

[Christ] looks today, as He has ever looked,
not for crowds drifting aimlessly in His track,
but for individual men and women whose undying
allegiance will spring from their having recognized
that He really wants only those who are prepared
to follow the path of self-renunciation which He
trod before them.
- H. A. Evan Hopkins, "Henceforth: the Meaning of
Christian Discipleship"
