DISCOURSE: 1909SYMPATHY RECOMMENDEDRomans 12:15. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.AS creatures, we have many duties to perform towards our Creator: and, as members of one universal family, we have duties also towards each other.

DISCOURSE: 1910OVERCOMING EVIL WITH GOODRomans 12:21. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.THE writings of the Old Testament exhibit a system of morals incomparably superior to any that was ever promulgated by the wisest philosophers.

Romans 12:1 . I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God. Under the form of entreaty he now tenderly exhorts them, in return for all the glory of redeeming love, to present their bodies to God, in chastity and in temperance, as temples of the Most High.
