“3. But how are we able to love one another? Shall we love them when they love us? That is a very easy way, but this not the way of love at all. Or shall we say, we will love them, but the heart is not willing to do so? Is this the way to love? Or, shall we say by mouth, yes, we will love him truly, but still try to listen to him when he talks, or preaching, or studying, to find fault with him, and go right off and tell some one else instead of telling his fault before him by yourself alone; is this the way to love? Or, he speak something against me; then I do not like to speak to him any more: is that the way to love? Or, to wait, find out all his mistakes and all his faults, and then go find some one who you think best,—who you think love you very much, and who you think can help you any way, and who do always to please you with talk, and who can scold them better than you, for perhaps they are better person than you, and perhaps they have more respect of men; and your heart is full of envying, and always try to knock him down: is this the way to love one another? Is that your _brother_, that you ought to treat him so? No, my friends, this is not the way to love at all. But we are _truly_ to love one another; this is our duty. What Jesus told us to do, we must do it by heart, not by talk, nor by pleasing, neither by any other way. But first knowing that God is always looking down from above, so we must be careful how we love God and our brother. This is what we ought to have;—that is, we must first have our hearts pure, then comes the peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and _good fruits of righteousness, without partiality and without hypocrisy_. Do it by heart. Amen.” I have transcribed it just as it was brought in—the first draft roughly penciled—and the italics are his own. As a work of homiletic art, it is open to criticism certainly; but as an utterance of truth, it may reach the case, and fitly stir the conscience of many an American Christian, as well as of our Chinese believers. I close with, this extract from the report of the teacher of our Barnes School: “The most enjoyable lessons to me are those in the Bible, and I am often surprised at the interest shown, and the questions and answers given. * * * Last night in Sabbath-school one was learning the passage, ‘Take heed that ye do not your alms before men,’ etc. I asked him if he knew what that meant. He answered, ‘When you give away something, or do something kind to any body, don’t go talk about it, tell everybody. If you do, God think you too much foolie.’ I think I have given his exact words.” * * * * * WOMAN’S HOME MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. Room 20, Congregational House, Beacon St., Boston.
