- Goodness 4-7-1938When 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 the souls of the bodies of his fellow creatures. Then you feel that is goodness in it's 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 our lives willingly, joyfully, for a man who misunderstands us, hate us, despise us, is, if possible, a more glorious action still, and the very perfection of perfect virtue. Then, looking on Christ's cross, we see that and even more, say for more than that.
