A Humble Origin Remembered
Amos 7:15
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.


Felix Faure, the late president of the French Republic, never sought to conceal his lowly origin. Hanging in a conspicuous place on the wall of his presidential office was a photograph of a young man wearing a tanner's blouse and wooden shoes. Faure the president, did not forget that he was once Faure the currier.
