the rump of a pale-red calf-I'm here
to stick. Ny text this morning is one
of love and good fellowship and broth
erly federation. 1t is found in LIST
Corinthians, chapter 16, and IA verse:
@Let all your things be done with
charity" This text does not advise
organized charity but individual and
perpetual charity. Organized charity
Is simply donation of funds to some
one authorized to distribute the same
among the needy poor, provided the
needy poor can persuade this author
lied agentthat they are in need, and
have not refused to work sixteen
hours day for their board, and at
tended prayer meeting every Wednes-
day night.
Now this sort of charity gives the
donator of funds about as much
heartfelt pleasure in relieving the
restitution of the miserable poor, as
it does to throw mackerel out in the
back yard, knowing that the neigh
boris dogs will come during the night
and carry them away. A duty per-
formed without realizing any pleasure
while doing it is about like opening a
boil ON yourself with a table fork,
and God knows that away. down in
your secret heart you have big fat
wish that the boil was on some one
else. Now, does the christian that
belnogs to an incorporated company
that gives employment to laborers-
does he always do all things with
charity? Does ne grant them an in
crease in wages in all charity and
God-hke love, or does he fight them
tooth and nail until the very last, and
then threaten to close up his works,
In preference to granting one little
lota to the men who perform his la.
Dor?
And then, after he has ground his
employees down to suit his great
christian heart, can be, by donating
tritie to organized charity, and by
building fashionable looking church
building, and dedicating it to some
imaginary god-can he square the ac-
count with the only living and just
God, and still remain little burning
candle shining in the night of super
stition and greed? trow not, with
trows as big as elephant ears, if not a
trifie bigger. In fact, it's not the
style any more for christians to do all
things with charity. Why, good
lands of chasing stub-tailed COW
over the hills of Zion, there isn't one
good christian out of a ten-acre
patch full that can drive pig out of
the garded in pure and unadulterated
charity.
He can't even feel up under the
hinder part of his vest in search of an
escaped suspender with love and
charity and good will to all men and
perpetual peace on earth SO thick
that one could spread it with a tar
paddle all over the face of nature,
Some of the best goody good people
l ever saw get up in a class meeting
and tell how faithfully they had serv-
ed God at a dead loss financially
couldn't even treat their hired girl
with charity and love, but would
work her eighteen hours day, and
when visitors came to spend the
evening she was banished to the
kitchen like an unclean thing that
was not fit to be seen in a room full
of modern christians.
If the honest hired girl who does
kitchen work on earth for miserable
pittance dosen't have q higher and
better seat in paradise than the lazy
society woman who worries for money
and position, ] am sure there is more
Justice and equity in that other place,
and would suit my complexion best
