Henri Dunant was a Swiss business man who was so horrified by the suffering of wounded soldiers during wartime eighty years ago that he started a movement to help them. This movement grew into the Red Cross Society, with branches in almost every country in the world. Today's interlude is abou; Henri Dunant and it illustrates the ancient saying to which Christ gave a new meaning: ' Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (St. Matthew 19, v. 19).
