REMEMBER THE POOR.

destitute and unfortunate, the benevoence of the
philanthropist, and those who may be favored with
bounteous store Of goods of this earth, should be
exercised towards their fellow men suffering in want
and poverty. lfpeople generally knew the degree
of good they could accomplish by little personal

visit to their sick beds, we sure no selfish or
falsely sensitive feelings would deter them from the
performance Of such benevolent and truly Christian
act. e'a....5,.u, 4s.S F d

the thougltof their wants and suferhgs should
lead them to- the observance of benevolent duties
enjoined upon them by the Savior they profess to
serve and worship, and by the religion they
profess to practice. Let not the religion you
have embraced become adisrepute, nor Your SINGER
ity and honesty questioned, by refusal or neglect
to exercise those acts Of kindness which make the
heart Of the sufferer leap for joy, and the dcscate
home brighten with the abundance of succor. Now
is the time for the Christian TO show by his works
that he is not merely professor, but practiscr Of
the doctrines 4ineulcated by the Savior for the
extend hisSprks Of love to suffer
ingr hnnanty ;for the rieh to show their gratitude
ued prosperity and bouneous earthly store, by ex-
tending the helping hand to their less prosperous
and less fortunate neghbor- for every one who
has itwithin his power, to give bounilnlIy to the
poor and needy. ALI should remember the poor.
