Job 29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. An Italian coastguard officer reported a shipwreck to his Government in these words: "We saw the wreck, and we attempted to give every assistance possible through the speaking trumpet. We shouted ourselves quite hoarse, and notwithstanding which next morning twenty corpses were washed ashore."

The Samaritan of the New Testament represents the benevolence of which the world stands in greatest need."
