Jeremiah 2:4-8 Hear you the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:… Selim, a poor Turk, had been brought up from his youth with care and kindness by his master, Mustapha. When the latter lay at the point of death Selim was tempted by his fellow servants to join them in stealing a part of Mustapha's treasures. "No," said he, "Selim is no robber! I fear not to offend my master for the evil he can do me now, but for the good he has done me all my life long." May not many Christians learn a lesson from Selim?
