Mark 2:3 And they come to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. "Two," says Solomon, "are better than one; for if one fall he can help the other, but woe unto him that is alone when he falleth!" The cobbler could not paint the picture, but he could tell Apelles that the shoe latchet was not quite right, and the painter thought it well to take his hint. Two neighbours, one blind and the other lame, were called to a place at a great distance. What was to be done? The blind man could not see, and the lame man could not walk! Why, the blind man carried the lame one; the former assisted by his legs, the other by his eyes. Say to no one, then, "I can do without you;" but be ready to help those who ask your aid, and then, when it is needed, you may ask theirs. (Smith.)
