Help the Weak.
The world is full of weak ones. The Bible has not commanded us to despise the weak, to crush the weak, to neglect the weak, but to support the weak. "We that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak."
Christ bore our infirmities. Like Him we should be burden-bearers. But how can we support the weak so long as we have no strength of our own? How can we support the weak while we walk in doubt and fear? Before we can support the weak we must become strong. This is a duty. "Be strong," is a command.—Christian Advocate.
