CHAPTER THE SEVENTH

CHAPTER 1HE SEVEN Iii
A S Our Saviour sat teaching
"A the people and answering
their questions, a certain Lawyer
stood up, and said Master what
shall 1 do, that I may live again
in happiness after I am dead?"
Jesus said to him THE first of all
the commandments is, The Lord
our God is one Lord: and thou
shalt love the Lord Thy God with
all Thy heart, and with all Thy
Soul, and with all thy mind, and
with all thy Strength. And the
second is like unto it. Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as myself.
There is none other command
ment greater than these"
Then the Lawyer said But who
is my neighbour? Tell me that 1
may know" Jesus answered in
this Parable:
There was once traveller"
he said, "journeying from Jerusa-
lem to Jericho, who fell among
Thieves; and they robbed him Of
his clothes, and wounded him,
and went away, leaving him half
dead upon the road. A Priest, hap
pening to pass that way, while the
poor man lay there, saw him, but
took no notice, and passed by, on
the other side. Another man,
Levite, came that way, and also
saw him; but he only looked at
him for a moment, and then
passed by, also. But a certain
Samaritan who came travelling
along that road, no sooner saw
him than he had compassion on
him, and dressed his wounds with
oil and wine, and set him on the
beast he rode himself, and took
him to an Inn, and next morning
took out of his pocket Two pence
and gave them to the Landlord,
saying take care of him and what
ever you may spend beyond this,
in doing so, will repay you when
1 come here again. '-
Nov which of these three men,"
said our Saviour to the Lawyer, do
you think should be called the
neighbour of him who fell among
the Thieves?" The Lawyer said,
THE man who showed compass
sion on him" TRUE" replied our
Saviour, Go thou and do like
wise Be compassionate to all
men. For all men are your
neighbours and brothers"
And He told them this parable.
of which the meaning is, that
we are never to be proud, or
think ourselves very good, before
God, but are always humble. He
said, When you are invited to
a Feast or Wedding, do not sit
down in the best place, lest some
more honored man should come,
and claim that seat. But sit down
in the lowest place, and a better
will be offered you if you deserve
it. For whosoever exalteth him
self shall be abased, and whose
ever humbleth himself shall be
exalted.

jobs have been so scarce the

wouldn't recognize a worker if
