August 2

“Bear ye one another’s burdens.”

GAL. vi. 2

“God has furnished us with constant occasions of bearing one another’s burdens. For there is no man living without his failings; no man that is so happy as never to give offence; no man without his load of trouble; no man so sufficient as never to need assistance; none so wise but the advice of others may, at some time or other, be useful for him; and, therefore, we should think ourselves under the strongest engagements to comfort, and relieve, and instruct, and admonish, and bear with one another.”

THOMAS à KEMPIS

“Now thou may’st give
The famished food, - the prisoner liberty, -
Light to the darkened mind, - to the lost soul
A place in heaven! Take thou the privilege
With solemn gratitude. Speck as thou art
Upon earth’s surface, gloriously exult
To be co-worker with the King of Heaven.”

Mrs SIGOURNEY
