true
Christians are obligated to have.
( 1 John 4:l l ) Within the Chris-
tian congregation, brotherly love is
being demonstrated. But can we
go on doing it in fuller measure ?
1 Thess. 4:9, 10.
HOW TO DEMONSTRATE LOVE
Concern and thoughtfulness are
qualities that we all appreciate when
they
are
demonstrated toward us.
When we show thoughtfulnessto our
elderly and our infirm brothers we
imitate our God, Jehovah, who highly
regards gray-headedness . when
it is found in the way of righteous-
ness. (Prov. 16:31) But how can
we show love for these older ones?
By picking them up for meetings,
visiting them in their home, going
shopping for them, running errands,
inviting them over to our home for a
meal, and so forth. (Gal.
6:lO)

about the fatherless boys? Have we
shown concern for them lately?
