====Do unto others ====

Not a day passes in the commonest experiences of life, in which other people do not stand before us with their needs, appealing to us for some service which we may render. It may be . . . 

only ordinary courtesy, 

the gentle kindness of the home circle, 

the patient treatment of neighbors, 

the thoughtful showing of interest in the elderly or in children. 

On all sides, the lives of other people touch ours, and we cannot do just as we please, thinking only of ourselves and our own comfort and good — unless we choose to be false to all the instincts of humanity and all the requirements of the law of Christian love. 

We must think continually of other people. We may not seek our own pleasure in any way, without asking whether it will harm or mar the comfort of some other. 

" Do unto others , as you would have them do to you." Luke 6:31 

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." Philippians 2:3
