The Fatherless Orphans

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,... James 1:27

"All who profess to have a Father in heaven, who they hope will care for them and finally take them to the home He has prepared for them, ought to feel a solemn obligation resting upon them to be friends to the friendless and fathers to the orphans, to aid the widows, and be of some practical use in this world by benefiting humanity. He stands there in the person of the poor, the homeless orphans, and the afflicted widows, who need love, sympathy, affection, and encouragement. If you do it not upon one of these, you would not do it unto Christ were He upon the earth. Now is your sowing time. You will reap that which you sow. Avail yourselves while you may of every privilege to do good." Testimonies for the Church vol.2, p.329,330
