Our Duty to the Erring
Galatians 6:1
Brothers, if a man be overtaken in a fault, you which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness…


The soul which sin has overtaken is like the bruised reed. It must be raised up gently that it may once more aspire heavenwards.

(E. Bersier, D. D.)The graceful vase that stands in the drawing-room under a glass shade and never goes to the well, has no great right to despise the rough pitcher that often goes and is broken at last.

(A. K. H. B.)
