"It requires far more of the constraining love of Christ to love our cousins and neighbors as members of the heavenly family than to feel the heart warm to our suffering brethren in China or the Sudan. To love the whole Church is one thing; to love—that is to delight in the graces and veil the defects of—the person who misunderstood me or opposed my plans yesterday, whose peculiar infirmities grate on my most sensitive feelings or whose natural faults are precisely those from which my natural character most revolts….. Ah, that is quite another thing."
- E. Charles
