Section LXXVIII

Duties to the World

Christianity alone teaches the true brotb« erhood of mankind. “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,” is the second table of the Law. And if you ask, who is my neighbour? the reply of our Lord in a beautiful parable is, that your neighbour is he whom Providence throws within the reach of your help. Henceforth it should be your purpose to do all that is within your power for the temporal and spiritual good of all youi fellow men.

Prov. 28: 23. f Lev. 19: 17.
