Humaneness of the Bible

Who can undervalue a Bible which speaks in a tone like this? The proverb, "Every man must take care of himself," has no place in the Book of God.

We must take care of one another. "Whoso hath this world's goods, and seeth his brother have need and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?" We hold our knowledge for the benefit of the ignorant; we are trustees of our strength that we may save the weak from oppression.

It is a coward's trick to close the eyes whilst wrong is being done, in order that we may not see it.

Christianity means nothing if it does not mean the unity of the human race, the common rights of humanity. — JOSEPH PARKER.
