To Make Men Better

 

Our mission as Christians in this world is to do good to the worst people, to comfort, to help, to bless, to save. We are debtors to all men. We owe to every one we meet some benediction. We have an errand to every one. Where we can see no beauty, we are to seek to put the beauty of holiness; where we find only enmity and rage and wrong, we are to seek by patient love to overcome the evil with good. So, always forgetting ourselves and our rights, we are to strive to save others for heaven. If we go among men with this motive in our hearts, we shall have great joy in doing good even to the lowliest.
