CHAPLAIN’S CORNER*
THE LAN Chaplain Keefe
Each of us should pay our debts in a-’
reasonable space of time. In this dollar
down-dollar-a-week age, this is no light
admonition.
But no matter how much we pay we can
never rid ourselves of our debt of love
to our neighbor.
St. Paul pointed out the prohibitions
in the law against adultrey, murder,theft
and lust.
But he insisted that if we have char
ity we will not break the commandments nor
do our neighbor any harm.
All the commandments of God are con
tained in the words: thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.
How do we love ourselves?
tWe make mistakes, but we can explain
them. Learn to explain the mistakes of
others.
We indulge in self pity and excuse
‘‘nobody loves me." Pity others and make
sure no one has to feel-lonely because
of your neglect.
We are careful about our own needs.Our
love should'extend to filling the needs
of others. .
And who is our neighbor? Every man,
woman and child on the face of the earth.
For just as salvation touches all mankind,
so our love is challenged to ^ombrace each
cf its members. Chaplain Keef'e.
