The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-11-25

The charity that goes hand in hand with
genuine gaiety, the charity that receives as
well as gives is that which is most effective,
because it does no violence to the senslbll-
ties of charity's object When, in the season
of Thanksgiving and Christmas merrymaking,
the sOmber thought of the less fortunate
stimulates generosity; $40 seems not great
sacrifice; but when with 1t goes the reailZa-
ton that the money brings delight as wei
as carries it, it justly seems no sacrifice at
all That such benevolence is in harmony
with the laws of human nature, the con-
tinuous success of the charity balls for the
last twenty years, proves beyond doubt. IL
has been a help to cheerful giving and a
shield to the self-respect OF those IN need'
for there is the saving clause of compensa-
ton. Surely man has value received, VINO,
for so may go with two ladies to Masonic
temple, enjoy an evening IN brilliant as
sembly and leave himself and ladies served
with an irreprOachable supper, and yet MS
money brightens an hour in another Ire
than his own or those about him. II one
wishes to go alone, 81 will be all that is
asked for his share in the blessing Of Civ
ing and receiving. That the representative
people of ST. Paul are still in hearty accord
with the principle of cheerful charity is at
tested by the interest shown in the ball TO
be given next month in its interests. VI
the eight boxes available, six have already
been sold and other indications point TO a
success equal TO the preceding annual func-
tions. Great care is being taken 10 secure
a perfectly satisfactory condition OF the foor,
