SYMPATHY

of the word

The greatest word that Mr. Barger used in my opinion was "the word sympathy. Through the

interpretation sympathy civilisation has made its greatest progress. There are other words that means a great deal for instance charity, which begins at home.

Lincoln, interpreted this word in its greatest sense when he said "With malice towards ntne and with charity for all but since then this word charity has lost its greatness and acquires dirogatory meaning when used in relation to some one in distress or inferior.

Then there is the word love which acquired greatness when used by Our Lord to express man's relationship to man and man's re- lationship to His Maker. Our Lord expressed in Himself the Bving idea of the word love but some- times I feel that ideal is at:le too high for us to reach. But the word sympathy expresses the idea between man and man.

WHAT WE 'LEARN Sympathy is the word which ex- presses what we-feel for others as for ourselves. Sympathy is what we learn to show for others when In we have suffered ourselves.
