Fraternal Affection
Genesis 45:24
So he sent his brothers away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that you fall not out by the way.


Fraternal affection approaches very nearly to self-love, for there is but a short remove from our own concerns and happiness to theirs who came from the same stock, and are partakers of the same blood. Nothing, therefore, can be more unnatural than discord and animosity among members so allied, and nothing so beautiful as harmony and love.

(L. N. Stretch.)
