Mischievous Charity.
(From one Of Moody's sermons

IRWIN oHS Vi AVouy OcfihoHs.|
Some years ago / picked up
several children in Chicago, and
thought j would clothe them and
feed them and / took special in
terest in those boys TO see what |
could make OF them. / don't think it
was thirty days before the clothes had
all gone for whisky, and the fathers
had drank it all up. One day I met
one of the little boys for whom l
bought pair of boots only the day
before. There was a snow-storm
coming up, and he was barefoo,ed.
"Mike,' said |, shows this Where
are your shoes ?" "Father and
mother took them away" said he.
There is good deal we think of char
ity that is really doing great deal of
mischief; and the people must not
think because we don't give them
money 10 aid them in their poverty
that we don't love them, for the
money would go into their pockets to
get whisky with. 1t is no sign that
we are all hypocrites and insincere in
our love that we don't give them
money. ! believe if the prodigal son
could have got all the money he
wanted in that foreign country he
would never have come home, and it
was good thing for him that he did
get hard up and had to live on the
husks that the swine ate. And it is
good thing that people should suf-
fer. IF they get good living with
out work, they will never work. We
can never make anything of them.
God has decreed that men shall earn
his bread by the sweat of his brow.
and not live on other people.
