Henri Dunant was a Swiss business man who was so horrified by the sufferings 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 about 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).
