THE GREATEST LAW IN THE WORLD
Love is the divine law of life. Love somebody; help somebody; lift up somebody; bless somebody. This is the divine law. Live not unto yourself alone. Forget your selfish schemes. Get out of the narrow shell of your egotism. Brighten the lives of those around you. Make sweeter the cup of some other of God's children. WflS bonds of affection, of patriotism, and of brotherhood. Love unites the family, the nation, and the race. It is the soul of the social system. It is the regenerating power of the world. Love for God and man is the soul of religion. Take love out of it, and you have left a theological husk, a mere creed. It is a dead thing, for love gave it life. Love for country, for the flag, ior a principle, is what makes men heroes and martyrs. It is the motive force that impels the triie statesman. It is the Light that illuminates all the great and. good. Genuine love can be told from the spurious in this way. The spurious thinks only of self, and demands sacrifice from others. The genuine is ready to sacrifice self for the happiness of others.—Cries of Light.
