Discreet

Charles and Susannah Spurgeon, according to The Chaplain magazine, would sell, but refused to give away, the eggs their chickens laid. Even close relatives were told, “You may have them if you pay for them.” As a result, some labeled the Spurgeons “greedy” and “grasping”. 

They accepted the criticisms without defending themselves, and only after Susannah died was the full story revealed: All the profits from the sale of eggs went to support two elderly widows. 

Because the Spurgeons were unwilling to let their left hand know what their right hand was doing (Matthew 6:3), they endured the attacks of their critics in silence.
