Altruism

When a book is packed with truth, Never leave it on the shelf; Pass it onward to your friends, Having mastered it yourself.

If you have a friend indeed, And you love him as a brother, Do not keep it to yourself, Tell it. He may bless another.

If you've heard a wise word spoken, To a friend that word impart; 'Tis a seed-thought full of blessing, Plant it in another's heart.

The book you lend will quicken thought; The friend you praise another bless; The word you speak may save a soul' And all promote God's righteousness.
