Week 48, Sunday

The One Antidote

Sunday. Gen. 37: 18-28.

What a horrid brood it is, this serpent’s ugly brood of hate — envy, jealousy, bitterness, lying, heartlessness, cruelty, slavery, if need be, murder; the milk of human brotherliness and fiHal affection curdled thick and sour with the sharp acid of hell; vipers poisonous brooded of vipers venomous! Horrible! the only safe thing is to strangle the smallest beginning before it gets born. And the only antidote is love, hut the real thing, God’s own love in us.
