tion of the sick at public institutions who is selfish or self-centered.
Certainly no one can work among the sick and needy with any
degree of success unless he forgets self and dedicates himself to
this great cause and important and blessed work. The sight of
poverty, the cry of the distressed, the plea of the soul waiting for
its release, the hopelessness and despair that hovers over many, all
grip the heart of the Christian worker and spur him on to work to
the limit of his strength. Among other things, it was these that drew
compassion from Jesus as He looked on the multitudes without
a shepherd. His was a life dedicated to suffering humanity. Can
ours be less if we are true Christians? All this requires more con-
stant prayer, more consecration, more sacrifices, in order that
precious souls shall not be lost. Let us, then, continue to do the work
assigned to us by our Lord and Master prayerfully and cheerfully,
and also to show compassion and sympathy to the sick, to visit
and comfort them in their afflictions and sorrows. And when our
work on earth is done, we shall be greeted in heaven and wel-
comed into eternal glory by the Lord, who will say: "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into
the joy of thy Lord."
