and ye gave me meat: I was
thirsty, and ye gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took

me: I was sick, and ye visited
me: I was in prison, and ye
came to me.

equality of mankind. It is the cornerstone of the Christian religion. It is the first element of all lawful government upon earth.

Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labour and not to ask for any reward
Save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
Ignatius
