Christ's answer to the lawyers ques-
ton: Who Is our neighbor? He shifts
the question so as to show that the
supreme concern Is not who Is our
ncighbor, but whose neighbor am l?
If / am Christ's, my supreme concern
will be to find those who have need
that may be neighbor t, them. IF
we love God supremcly, we shall find
all along lifcs highway souls who have
been wounded and robbed by sln

those who have need. This kind of
sympathy Is greatly needed today.
