The Rotary Balita no. 651 (July 27, 1950)
It has been said that, "As a man think, are a terrible sinner, and that yo„ in his heart, so is he.' If you think it ' spent most of your life praying and pay,: for atonement, you better get busy and start giving service above self and stop wasting time on self-condemnation. Jesus of Nazareth, who spent his time and thoughts in behalf of the sick and distressed, the widows and orphans, the bland and crippled set a splendid example for Rotarians. You remember that he told Simon Peter to feed His sheep, if he truly loved Him. More thought about the "under dog," about the families in the barong-barongs, about the children at Welfareville, and "how the other half lives," will surely put more stars in our crowns than lamentations about our own wickedness. The unselfish Rotarian who thinks about the misfortunes of his neighbors, and does his best to relieve their distress, surely won't need to worry too much about whether he's going to Heaven, for unselfish thoughts followed by unselfish acts open wide the portals of heaven. Every Rotarian should have some community service project for his homework hobby.
