The Sum of Duty Like the Ocean
British Weekly
Luke 10:27
And he answering said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength…


When a man is told that the whole of religion and morality is summed up in the two commandments, to love God and to love our neighbor, he is ready to cry, like Charoba in Gebir at the first sight of the sea, "Is this the mighty ocean? is this all?" Yes! all; but how small a part of it do your eyes survey! Only trust yourself to it; launch out upon it: sail abroad over it; you will find it has no end; it will carry you round the world.
