- When you hear of a father sacrificing his own life for his children, when you hear of a soldier dying for his country; when you hear of a clergyman or a physician killing himself by his work, while he is labouring to save souls or the bodies of his fellow-creatures, then you feel their is goodness in its highest shape. To give up our lives for others is one of the most beautiful and noble and glorious things on earth. But to give up our lives willingly, joyfully, for men who misunderstand us, hate us, despise us, is if possible, a more glorious action still, and the very perfection of perfect virtue. The Cooking, on Christ's cross, we see that and and ever more - ay far more than that.
