an affection is
intensified and uplifted by religious motives and forces. Which of these
motives are directly taken from the personality and life of Christ?

_Do you remember any quotations from non-Christian literature in which a
similar love for love is expressed?_

Fifth Day: Solidaristic Responsibility

Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
works were done, because they repented not. Woe unto thee,
Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had
been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would

_What have we learned from the Great War about national solidarity?_

sepulchres of the prophets, and garnish the tombs of the
righteous, and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we
should not have been partakers with them in the blood of the

them that slew the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your
fathers. Ye serpents, ye offspring of vipers, how shall ye escape
the judgment of hell? Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets,
and wise men, and scribes: some of them shall ye kill and crucify;
and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and
persecute from city to city: that upon you
