10. Our common Membership.
"Ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular." (1 Cor. xii. 27.)
"We being many are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." (Rom. xii. 5.)
Seneca (Letter 95): "Do we teach that he should stretch his hand to the shipwrecked, show his path to the wanderer, divide his bread with the hungry?... when I could briefly deliver to him the formula of human duty: all this that you see, in which things divine and human are included, is one: we are members of one great body."
11. Secrecy in doing Good.
"Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth." (Matt. vi. 3.)
Seneca (On Benefits, ii. 11): "Let him who hath conferred a favour hold his tongue.... In conferring a favour nothing should be more avoided than pride."
12. God's impartial Goodness.
"He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matt. v. 45.)
Seneca (On Benefits, i. 1): "How many are unworthy of the light! and yet the day dawns."
