There is a great difference between love for people you never saw and never shall see and for those with whom you mingle in close relations. There are some persons whose souls glow with compassionate affection for the Chinese, the Hindus, the Japanese, who yet utterly fail in loving their nearest neighbours, those who jostle against them every day in business, in pew, in church-aisle, in society. The test of Christian love is that it does not fail even when brought into closest contact, into the severest frictions, of actual living.
