Christian Ch0rf1VI

Christian charity is universal beneSo.
lence, Obeying the injunction, ''loge thy
ne;ghbor as myself" and being always in
readiness, without grudging, to beitow their
goods TO feed the poor, as their Heavenly
Father in his bountiful goodness hath given
unto them all things necessary for life and
goodness. As faithful stewards Of the man.
fold grace Of God, it is the duty of all
Christians TO appropriate the means which
he has placed in their hands, to the further
aRce Of his cause, and the leliefof kis needy
followers; not burying the Lords money as
slOthful servants, nor laying up treasures on
earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt.
and thieves break'through and steal. The
/ word charity is also employed in the sense
fof love. The Apostle Paul, wFitipg TO the
/ church Of CoIinth, uscs,it in this seuse--hs
lsays:-" Though speak with the tongues
of men and angels, and have not charity,
| am become as sounding brass or tinkling
symbal. And though have the gifI of proph.
, ecy, and understand all mysteries, and all
knowledge: and though have all faith, 90
, that could remove mountains, and have
not charity, ! am nothing. And though /
bestow all my goods TO feed the poor, and
though / give my body to be burned, and
have not charity, il proiteth me nothing
E Charity suFereth long and is kind; charity
9 cnvieth not; charity vaunteth not itself,is mol
e pulled up, doth not behave unseemIy, seek,
eth not her own, is Dot easily provoked
i thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not IN iniquily
e but rejoiceth in truth; beafeth al things
70 believOth all things, hopeth all things, en-,
e dureth all things, Charity never faileth.'
y And ia concluding the chapter, he saws
g .sAnd now ab.deth faith, hope, charity, thes,
i three, but the greatest Of these is charity.
