To Do the Most Good

ROBERT G. LAWRENCE

Considering the heart's desire to meet the hungering needs of our fellowmen, we may ask, "How can we best accomplish this?"

Programs attacking poverty, crime, social injustice, indicate a growing concern of people for one another. But many programs, even when quite massive, often seem ineffectual. One reason for this may be that the human approach, as commendable as it is, doesn't always get to the source of the problem, the underlying thinking of mankind. A more substantial spiritual content is needed.

There's no leaving God out of the equation if we would effectively aid our neighbor and really reach people with lasting good. We might take to heart the words of Christ Jesus not to omit "the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith." "These," he said, "ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."^{Matt. 23:23;}
