More From Frederick William Robertson

For us christians, love of neighbour springs from love of god; and it is its most limpid expression. here one tries to love one's neighbour, but also to allow oneself to be loved by one's neighbour. these two attitudes go together, one cannot be exercised without the other. printed on the letterhead of the missionaries of charity are these words of jesus: "as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me". loving god in our brethren and loving our brethren in god.

The first theft marked buck as fit to survive in the hostile northland environment. it marked his adaptability, his capacity to adjust himself to changing conditions, the lack of which would have meant swift and terrible death. it marked, further, the decay or going to pieces of his moral nature, a vain thing and a handicap in the ruthless struggle for existence.
