should be, Laying aside his dlYlnl'
ty and the fact that Christ came into
the world to formulate and complete
a prophesied plan by which all the
world may be ultimately saved he
was the grandcst teacher, the clear
est expounder of the universal NOR
al law that has ever hyed, forgetting
that he was and is that law himself.
"Who is my ncighbor," was asked
the Saviour when he had admOnlShed
his hearers to Glove your neighbor as
Yourself" Then the parable above
referred to was recited.
A neighbor then is, according to
our Americanized phraseology, a
friend. A friend when the recipient
of a kindness is really IN need, a
friend through evil as well as good
report. One who will speak of your
faults to you, and when with Others,
present your virtues and good traits
of character,
Your neighbor don't make a loud
noise about the f2vOrs he extends
you. He don't want everybody to
know that this or that man is under
obligation to him.
These thoughts were brought to
mind by a little incident related by
q friend of the RECORD man, who
never dreamed of ever seeing or
hearing 1t referred to again. He
was IN far away city during the
holidays to see his kindred and be
with those who were near and dear
to HIM while the Christmas cheer
and other good things were being
enjoyed with many friends of yore.
One night while at the depot a train
arrived, and out Of innocent curlosl
ty he stepped up where he could obs
serve those who got on and off. a
familiar face was soon discoved, that
of young fellow who was evidently
not looking for an acquaintance, and
the following conversation in sub
stance followed, after exchanging a
friendly "howdy-do," our friend
leading:
care you going to take Christmas
with relatives hcre2o
'No, I'm going to N to see my
aunt"
"lIow long will you be away"'
q can't t ;" then in a colGdmg
tone told abont being IN trouble and
distress, and expressed regret at his
predicament.
"Did you get your affairs in props |
er shape-squaro up your business
before leaying"
"No, ! did not. | didn't have the
time or hardly any money. l owe
you a bill that ought to be paid, but
| have only enough money to buy a |

dimes and nickles from bis pocket

"But l owe you now, and don't

lie took it and was then escorted
o a bountiful supper, which for
ack of funds he would have done
Without.
Just before the train started lie
banked our informant for his kind.
Tess and expressed much surprise at
he good treatment received from a
reditor he would have lodged, and
rave an order for the amount which
proved to be satisfactory.
The motive which actuated this
,iudness was the same that moved
he Samaritan of old to assist the
distressed traveller to rise, give his
,oat, place him on his own steed,
axe him to an inn and there pay the
lost for his trouble. 1t takes a truly
leighborly, charitably inclined heart
