Christianity and Compassion

CHRISTIANITY is not the offspring of fraud or of fiction. To show that it cannot possibly be derived from human wisdom, or human imposture, is a work, I think, attended with no great difficulty, and requiring no extraordinary abilities. Prophecies are permanent miracles, whose authority is sufficiently confirmed by their completion, and are therefore solid proofs of the supernatural origin of a religion whose truth they were intended to testify.—Tenyn.
WE cultivate tenderness of heart by sympathizing with, and relieving the sorrows of others; we become hard-hearted by withholding kindness from others and bestowing it upon ourselves.
