Spurgeon on "White Chokers."
--Mr. Spurgeon recently expressed himself against what the profane call white chokers. He wished they were done with. ‘"No person wears them,"’ he says, ‘"but waiters at inns, assistants in drapers' shops, undertakers' men and ministers. I believe they are a badge of servitude. I believe they were originally invented by the old sort of deacons who used to control the ministers. They are all dead nowadays, I am happy to say. What I mean by a man is just this kind of person; One who has got a thing in his heart, and means to do it — if he smash the earth and shake the heavens in doing it."’
