The Christian Spirit is not exemplified alone through human sentiment, human sympathy, and human love. If human sentiment, sympathy, and love were a saviour from sickness and death, there would be little sickness and few deaths, for those human beings are rare who have not some kindred or friends who wish for them, and would have for them, health and life rather than sickness and death.
Could the devoted wife and loving children, through their mere human devotion and love, save the husband and father from pain, disease, and death, few of earth's husbands and fathers would suffer pain, languish with sickness, or go down into the valley of the shadow of death.
Could the fond mother save her children from harm, sickness, and death, through the mother-love alone, how many boys and girls would go astray, fall into sickness, O' pass away from the mother-care in death? So, too, of husbands, fathers, brothers, sisters, and relatives of less degree. So, too, of friends and associates of no blood relationship. They would save through human sentiment, human sympathy, and human love, if they could.
