Italian ArOuSeS Pity

In last weeks Glacier | read the
article written about the Italian who
has been living between two trees, on
scraps from the garbage dump on the
lowlands. What pity in this Christ
ian land of ours, with seven or eight
churches in the town of Hood River
and all claiming to be followers of the
Lord Jesus Christ, and to know a
human being exists in such a manner
is a shame.
But some say, "Oh, he is only a
dirty, filthy Italian and who knows
maybe he is an escaped convict. :"
Even if he is, should people kick him
on little farther. The trouble with
this world, there is not enough kind
ness in it and when man gets down,
it is easy enough to kick him still far
ther. Who is our neighbor? All may
find who our neighbor is by reading
the 10th chapter of Luke, 25th to 38th
verses. Also Matt. rs: 34-46 verses.
1t isn't going to church each Sabbath
and going through a lot of form and
have a social occasionally to help pay
the preacher, that makes a Christian
but it is as Jesus says in Luke, 10th
chapter. 25th to 80 verses, that makes
a Christian.
People don't have to rush to this
neghbor and carry him around on
cushioned seat. but help him up by
helping him to help himself and let
him feel like he was human being
instead of dog.
Don't make any difference, it seems,
what kind of a character a man has, if
he has plenty of money he is usually
received with open arms as somebody !
but man that is down and out usually
is given kick and driven down still
farther. By A Reader.
