November 16. Oswald Chambers, Scottish Author. Under the preaching of Charles Spurgeon, Chambers became a Christian. He ministered in the United Kingdom, in the United States, and in Japan. For six years, he was principal of a Bible school in London, and during World War I, he served as chaplain to the military in Egypt. He had a passion for shepherding his people.

While he was still in college, Chambers shepherded four-footed, wool-bearing sheep. He said, “I did not like it at the time, but I am thankful now I had to do shepherding in the Highlands of Scotland. When you have to carry across your shoulders a dirty old [ram] and bring it down the mountainside, you will soon know whether it is not the most taxing, the most exhausting, and the most exasperating work; and Jesus uses this as an illustration of a passion for souls.”

Chambers loved his people, and they loved him.

On this date in 1917, 100 soldiers escorted Chambers’s body to the military cemetery in Cairo.
