Sunday Magazine 1 Thessalonians 4:9-11 But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write to you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.… Thomas Samson was a working miner, and working hard for his bread. The captain of the mine said to him, "Thomas, I've an easier berth for you where there is less to do and more to earn: will you accept it?" "Captain," said Thomas, "there's our poor brother Tregony. He has a sick body, and is not able to work so hard as I am. I fear his hard work will shorten his useful life. Will you let him have the berth?" The captain, pleased with the generosity, sent for Tregony, and gave him the berth, which he is now enjoying. Thomas was gratified, and added, "I can work a little longer yet." (Sunday Magazine.)
