15. Rejoice with them that rejoice; and weep--the "and" should
probably be omitted.
with them that weep--What a beautiful spirit of sympathy with the
joys and sorrows of others is here inculcated! But it is only one
charming phase of the unselfish character which belongs to all living
Christianity. What a world will ours be when this shall become its
reigning spirit! Of the two, however, it is more easy to sympathize with
another's sorrows than his joys, because in the one case he needs us;
in the other not. But just for this reason the latter is the more
disinterested, and so the nobler.
