Love Your Enemies

LOZAR was a negro teacher at Malabar in Africa. When he became a Christian, his heathen neighbors forbade him to take water from their wells. He had no well of his own and some other water was a great distance from his home. He asked the Lord to help him and he began to dig a well. Soon lovely clear water came up.
Then came a time of drought and all the wells became dry; only Lozar's well had plenty of water. The heathen neighbors came to him and asked if they might draw some water from his well. He answered cheerfully, "Take as much as you like, there is plenty of water for us all."
The kind, unrevengeful behavior of Lozar made a great impression on the heathen; and soon quite a few believed in the Saviour of Lozar whom he not only preached with his tongue but also with his Christlike conduct.
