Rev. Mr.. Moor, of this city, in discourse
last Sunday morning upon the Good Sama-
ritan" said, George Peabody was good
He m VII fnr
ly smiled, and who poured ont his wealth,
while living, to bless the poor of London, and
the ignorant of the South in this country. He
has set the world an example of giving,
rarely, if ever equalled, in the human race
Neither him nor his idea, ever will or can be
too much honored. But there are only few
persons in the world, ever in possession of
such large wealth as Mr. Peabody had before
he gave those magnificent sums, or as he had
left after he gave all he ever did. And let no
one suppose that immense fortunes are essen
tial to true charity. Let no person, however
small his or her earthly treasures, feel that
the love of the Gospel cannot be made per-
sonally practical. do not know but many
people, according to their abilities, have done
as nobly, and much, as Mr.. Peabody; if they
have not in the sight of men, they doubtless
have in the sight of angels and God. There
are two children, that know of, in this city,
who to-day are suffering with broken ankles.
do not know but it would e as much for
some of the men and women among us, who
are comparatively poor, who are busy, over
worked and oppressed with many cares and
trials, to visit those children and give them
some slight delicacy and some kind word, or
the kind word without any other delicacy, as
any thing this man of princely benevolence
ever did for others! At any rate, | am
very sure that we all may bless many of our
race, though our outward means are very
small, and have the blessing of heaven on and
In our souls for our work."
