We are not to understand by this
that Jesus' tells Christians they are ;
to give, no parties to their friends,
but a Irian is not to fancy himself as
being hospitable and a good fellow be-
cause he often entertains his friends
and those whom he likes. There is
nothing meritorious about that. The
distinctive element in the Christian
character is that it has a love which'
breaks through the narrow restric- l
cons of class and •f the group of
people we happen to like, and em-
braces the whole world, including our
"enemies." -
