The Bishop of Huron based his talk on that section-of the parable of the Good Samaritan concerning the priest and the Levite, who pass ed by on the other side, Luke 10:31-32, ’’And .by chance there came down a certain priest that Way: and when he saw him he pass- . And like-ed by on the other side. wise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him and. passed by on the othei* side.” Rev. Seager said that the priest to those who wander about in lone liness and lovelessness and again, if we fail to render to those who need it the benefits of our fellow ship and sympathy we have passed • by on the other side. The church has been given the privilege of administering all these comforts as the. official servant of ’Christ > and we dare not withhold its aid from apy creature. —V- HENSALL RED CROSS NOTES .

The first reason might have been the extreme frequency of such Xoceurences in that day, just as misfortune and ,un- happirtess are so very common in out-own times that w.e are placing an ever-dfecreasing value on human life, Another good reason might have been that they were on their way t.o Jerusalem for the perform ance of religioxxs rites and contact with the^ Wounded man would have made them unclean and so unfit for duties in the Jewish church.
