A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another.

JOHN 13:34

ONE with our brethren here in love,

And one with saints that are at rest,

And one with angel hosts above,

And one with God for ever blest.

ISAAC WILLIAMS

ALL extreme sensitiveness, fastidiousness, suspicion, readiness to take
offence, and tenacity of what we think our due, come from self-love, as
does the unworthy secret gratification we sometimes feel when another is
humbled or mortified; the cold indifference, the harshness of our
criticism, the unfairness and hastiness of our judgments, our bitterness
towards those we dislike, and many other faults which must more or less
rise up before most men's conscience, when they question it sincerely as
to how far they do indeed love their neighbors as Christ has loved them.
He will root out all dislikes and aversions, all readiness to take
offence, all resentments, all bitterness, from the heart which is given
up to His guidance. He will infuse His own tender love for man into His
servant's mind, and teach him to "love his brother as Christ has loved
him."

JEAN NICOLAS GROU

Enjoying each other's good is heaven begun.

LUCY C. SMITH
