My dear children, I am very anxious that you should know something about the history of Jesus Christ. For everybody ought to know about Him.
And when people seek ill of the Poor and Miserable, think how Jesus Christ went among them and taught them, and thought them worthy of his care.
And because he did such Good, and taught people how to love God and how to hope to go to Heaven after death, he was called Our Savior.
Remember!—It is christianity to do good always—even to those who do evil to us. It is christianity to love our neighbor as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them Do to us. It is christianity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them, or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to shew that we love him by humbly trying to do right in everything.
