Those societies which bat htt spiritual force eu-
tcrs cannot effect much spiritual good. We cannot
say, viii give my money bat not our time and our
love, and yet accomplish any work that vii result
love, or spiritual good. Oar charities DO al The
GOOD that can be expected If them. The
irgraitude Of the poor is often commented on,
but is i no, equal TO our charity The pagpersm of

evil growing ont OF our state OF society, aud th'y
usually become ostentatOu- nuisances. lney are
necessary in society yet, they need almost hnNei
sal reform. They need our sympathy ana personal
effort more than our money. Ihe personal sacrnce
and labor of head aud heart must be increased Sus-
tain those societies which give sympathy and work
instead of money. THIS Society, ne thought, was
Of the beet in the whole world because il gave the
Target proportion love- sympathy and core, TO the
money they bestowed II is elastic Society; II Is
for improving the condition OF the poor It AS no

But IN private charity we must place our reliance,
for il affords the brudest ground for the exercise OF
the true spiritual relief which is most needed Relief
should be love and sympathy As we'll as bread and
money! Relief takes away seii-respect from the poor
yet It be bestowed in sIch kindness As To restore
selfrespect and 1i the dignity Of labor. IL
costs as much tn give away money conscIentlously,

recommended the of few families 20 any one
who wished to exercise charity and faithful care OF
these families. Having chosen the poor, stand by
them, educate them, and be- kind 10 them aud their
children must get the key to their hearts to make
our ard really efectual.
lie said the charity Of prevention is wisest and best,
and lie could speak for lOng time but he had not
time. The charity Of relief is more difficult, and he
hoped the discussion had made this more plain, and
shown that moral relief is the thing greatly needed.
Love- ideas hope and sympathy are our greatest and
most blessed benelactions. Such il true Christian
charity.
After the applause which broke out as the Doctor
closed his address had sub-ded Mr.. l.. B. MlNrrRN
offered resolution Of thanks to DIR. Bellows for his
able and Interesting address which was adopte /
with cheers apo applause.
The Society then reelected the present officers, to
serve for another year, ar adjourned.
