Service Room Spotlight

God. No man knows who

may attack, or who may heal,

who may act as a stranger or

who may act as a neighbor.The story of the road to Jeri-

cho teaches us that safety liesonly in the hearts of men.

The values that a neighbor

possesses are compassion,

mercy, sincerity, love, empa-

thy, friendliness, and generos-

ity. Our Jericho Road may

not be clearly marked, neither

may the injured cry out, that

we may hear. We must bewatchful for those less fortu-

nate, helpful to those whohurt, and mindful of those

doomed by neglect. When wewalk in the steps of the Good

Samaritan, we walk the path-

way that leads to perfection.

Each of us in the journey

through mortality will travel

his own Jericho Road. What

will be your experience?What will be mine? Will I

fail to notice him who hasfallen among thieves and re-

quires my help? Will you?

Will I be one who sees the

injured and hears his plea, yet

crosses to the other side?

Will you? Or will I be the

one who sees, hears, who

pauses, and who helps? Willyou? We can change Jerichoto a place nearbya school,workplace or sidewalk that

leads us home. The certain

man could be a child who is

neglected, ignored or aban-doned. He or she could be a

retired person, a widow or an

inexperienced youth. The

thieves could be slick talking

promoters, shoplifters, gang-

sters, those who bully

anyone who would drag usdown. The priests and Le-

vites could be employees who

refuse to work, doctors who

neglect the sick, or church-

men who are too busy withduties to respond to un-

scheduled needs. WHO ISMY NEIGHBOR? A

neighbor is one who will

serve a stranger without cere-

mony. A neighbor is one who

does not flee disaster but lin-

gers to examine and relieve

distress. A neighbor is one

who may be lonely and de-

spised yet is compassionate.A neighbor is one who acts

generously out of love, notout of duty alone. A neighbor

is one who refuses slander bygood deeds. A neighbor is

one who thinks well of him-

self and loves others as him-

self. A neighbor is one who

sees his fellowmen not as

Jews, Levites, or priestsbut

as menone who thinks of

himself as a man among menwho are equal in the sight of

Thank you to everyone who has

participated in our Community

Project of making fleece jackets

for children in the Meridian

School District. We expect to

exceed our goal of 100 jackets,

thanks to the hard work and dedi-

cation of our missionaries and

volunteer seamstresses. Please

turn in all jackets to the Service

Room by September 15th, (even

if they are not completed) so

that they can be inventoried, com-

pleted if necessary, and delivered

to the school children before the

cold weather sets in.
