CHARITY-A FABLE.-There is a good
moral in the following extract:
'When Abraham sat at his tent door,
according to his custom, waiting to en-
terrain strangers, he espied an old man
STOPPING and leaning upon his staff, wea.
ry with age and travel, coming towards
him, who was hundred years of age; he
received him kindly, washed his feet,
piOvlded supper and caused him 10 sit
down; but observing that he a:e and pray.
ed not, nor begged for blessing on his
meat; he asked him why he did not wor.
ship the God Of Heaven. The old man
told him that he worshipped the FIRE on.
ly, and acknowledged no other God. Al
this answer, Abraham grew so zeaIousIy
angry that he threw the old man out OF
the tent. When the old man was gone,
God called Abraham and asked him where
the stranger was. Abraham replied,
thrust him away because be did not wor-
ship thee. God answered him, have not
suffered him these hundred years, al
though he has not honored me, and
wouldsl thou not endure with him one
night, when he gave thee no trouble2-
Upon this Abraham brought him back
and gave him hospilable entertainment
and wholesome instruction.
