Christians are obligated to have.

( 1 John 4:l l ) Within the Chris-

tian congregation, brotherly love is

being demonstrated. But can we

go on doing it in fuller measure ?

1 Thess. 4:9, 10.

HOW TO DEMONSTRATE LOVE

Concern and thoughtfulness are

qualities that we all appreciate when

they

are

demonstrated toward us.

When we show thoughtfulnessto our

elderly and our infirm brothers we

imitate our God, Jehovah, who highly

regards gray-headedness . when

it is found in the way of righteous-

ness. (Prov. 16:31) But how can

we show love for these older ones?

By picking them up for meetings,

visiting them in their home, going

shopping for them, running errands,

inviting them over to our home for a

meal, and so forth. (Gal.

6:lO)

about the fatherless boys? Have we

shown concern for them lately?
