Forth tO "A PhiladeIphia Paper.
Philadelphia Ledger.
In our actual effortH for others, il ia
not always so simple as il seems to help
and not to hurt. The momentary help
is sometimes real hurt. This is often
the case when in ministering to their
lower needs we sacrifice their higher.
1ndiscriminate aims giving entails more
suffering than IT relieves. In supplying
food or warmth for q day It often weakens
the powers and energies that should sup
ply it for lifetime. SO the parent who
looks no higher than the immediate graft
fication OF his child is mot helping, but
hurting him. His character will not be
thus raised, his powers will not be de.
veloped, his maniins4s will not be Sc
cured. II is self. controlled manhood and
womanhood that is most of oil needed in
the world, and any help that tends to
pull this down is a positive hurt, an
injury that can never be repaired. To
help without hurting needs more than a
benevolent intention; it needs intelli.
gence, forethought, Judgment, wisdom to
deal with Causes rather than with symp.
toms; to look 10 permanent well-being
more than momentary qualification.
Yet in thus exercising the intelligence
we must also beware of hardening the
feelings or crushing out sympathy. The
hearth may be piled high with fuel, but
until the dame ignites it it is cold and
useless. So there may be intelligence
and judgment, discretion and fore
thought, but until the flame OF love in.
spires their action they cannot truly help
mankind. The spirit of kindness must
animate the whole being, and the mental
powers must combine to guide and di.
rect it before We can succeed in helping
men aud not hurting them. There must
bo no surrender of effort, no resting on
our oars, no mere copying of others,
however worthy and useful they may be.
There is no one way best for ell; esch has
his distinctive abilities, and must exercise
them as host he can. The needs of hu.
mainly are as varied as the powers to
minister TO those needs, and each one
must decide FOR himself in what way he
can best do his part. Neither must he
think thu. such question can be decided
once and fosager. Il is in need of con.
