Between them was just the thickness of the oaken door, all the time she
had been needing him as he did her, and neither knew where to find the
other. They were neighbors in very truth, and they did not know it.
It may be that your neighbor lives as near to you, in want of much that
you can give, your love and friendship first and last. Go and seek him.
And when you have found him, bind up his wounds, help him and care for
him; and, when you must depart on the morrow, leave of your substance
that he may be cared for until you come that way again. That was
neighborliness as the Good Samaritan saw it.
“Go,” said the Saviour, “go, and do thou likewise.”
