Lending to the Lord.

T. Perhaps the reason why so many of US
haggle over the demands which the needy
make upon us it because we really are
dissatisfied with the security, and are not
thoroughly convinced that giving to the
poor is lending to the Lord. However
may be. we certainly take infinite credit
to ourselves in the transaction, when it
occurs, which ought at least to count for
interest at generous percentage, even if
it does not go toward the liquidation of
the debt. There is no question that to
the right-minded person-and who will
admit that he is not right minded
there is no such exquisite pleasure as the
power of giving affords, of relieving the
necessities of others, of carrying comfort
