Let him pass on” (Egyptian). “One should seek for others the happiness one desires for oneself” (Buddhist). “Let none of you treat his brother in a way he himself would dislike to be treated” (Mohammedan). “The true rule of life is to guard and do by the things of others as they do by their own” (Hindu). “All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them,” said Jesus, the Son of God. His word lifts obligation to others from the realm of ethics to the realm of service in Christ's name. March 1941
