FAMILIAR SAYING
“CRUEL TO BE KIND"
“We are all familiar with the saying which reminds us that there arc times when we have ‘to be cruel to be kind.' And we "know how that truth has to be applied in the realm of training children or in dealing with some one who is ill. The conditions may be such that the best interests of the child or the patient is served by causing temporary pain. It is a difficult task for the parent or the doctor, a task from which he shrinks and which he tries to avoid to the uttermost. But if he has the real interest of the other at heart he just has to do it.’’ —The Rev. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Associate Minister at Westminster Chapel, author of “The Plight of Man and the Power of God.”
