TO THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Reading edition
What Paul was to the Gentiles, may you, the Young Apostle of our Church, become to the Jews. Surely, not as the priest or the Levite have you so long passed them by "on the other side."
Haply, being a messenger on the King's business, which requires haste, you have never noticed their need. But the world sees, and, re-reading an old parable, cries out: "Who is thy neighbor? Is it not even Israel also, in thy midst?"
Nor knowest thou what argument Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent. —EMERSON.
