“But it did not satisfy him, barely to abstain from doing evil. his soul was athirst to do good. The language of his heart continually was, “`My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.’ My Lord went about doing good; and shall not I tread in his steps” As he had opportunity therefore, if he could do no good of a higher kind, he fed the hungry, clothed the naked, helped the fatherless or stranger, visited and assisted them that were sick or in prison. He gave all his goods to feed the poor. He rejoiced to labour or to suffer for them; and whereinsoever he might profit another, there especially to “deny himself.” He counted nothing too dear to part with for them, as well remembering the word of his Lord, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me” (Matt. 25:40).
