Rev. Mr. Harold H. Griffis - Portland, Oregon. - This prosperous citizen (in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus) was not dishonest or licentious or intemperate. So far as the record goes, he never stole any money, he never eloped with another man’s wife. He never guzzled any champagne. The fact is this man stood condemned, not for something he did do, but for something he did not do. His crime was that of omission, not that of commission. He was afflicted with nothing more nor less than the damning sin of selfish inhumanity.
