Real Burden-Bearing
Galatians 6:2
Bear you one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.


A poor woman was reduced to extreme poverty by the loss of her cow, her only means of support. A neighbour, who was unable to give aid, personally went round to different friends to solicit money to buy another one. He went from one to another, and told the pitiful tale. Each offered sorrow and regret, but none practical assistance. He became impatient after being answered as usual by a plentiful shower of feeling, and exclaimed, "Oh, yes, I don't doubt your feeling; but you don't feel in the right place." "Oh!" said he, "I feel with all my heart and soul." "Yes, yes," replied the solicitor, "I don't doubt that either; but I want you to feel in your pocket."
