Our Relation to Others

“I HAVE been a member of your church for thirty years,” said an elderly Christian to his pastor, “and when I was laid by with sickness for a week or two, only one or two came to visit me. I was shamefully neglected.” “My friend,” said the pastor, “in all those thirty years how many sick have you visited?” “Oh,” he replied, “it never struck me in that light! I thought only of the relation of others to me, and not of my relation to them.”—Christian Register.
