"I have compassion on the multitude."-Mark, viii. 2. What a pattern to His people, the tender compassion of Jesus He found the world He came to save a moral Bethesda. The wail of suffering humanity was every where borne to His ear. It was His delight to walk its porches, to pity, relieve, comfort, save The faintest cry of misery arrested His footsteps-stirred a ripple in this fountain of Infinite Love. Was it a leper, -that dreaded name which entailed a life-long exile from friendly looks and kindly words? There was One, at least, who had tones and deeds of tenderness for the outcast. "Jesus, being moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him."
