Compassi<strong>on</strong> and Sympathy to Be Cultivated<br />

The tender sympathies of our Saviour were<br />

aroused for fallen and suffering humanity. If you<br />

would be His follower, you must cultivate<br />

compassi<strong>on</strong> and sympathy. Indifference to human<br />

woes must give place to lively interest in the<br />

sufferings of others. The widow, the orphan, the<br />

sick and dying, will always need help. Here is an<br />

opportunity to proclaim the gospel—to hold up<br />

Jesus, the hope and c<strong>on</strong>solati<strong>on</strong> of all men. When<br />

the suffering body has been relieved the heart is<br />

opened, and you can pour in the heavenly balm. If<br />

you are looking to Jesus and drawing from Him<br />

knowledge and strength and grace, you can impart<br />

His c<strong>on</strong>solati<strong>on</strong> to others, because the Comforter is<br />

with you.<br />

You will meet with much prejudice, a great<br />

deal of false zeal and miscalled piety; but in both<br />

the home and the foreign field you will find more<br />

hearts that God has been preparing for the seed of<br />

truth than you imagine, and they will hail with joy<br />
