Helen Gould, In letter 10 tho

the rich and says Ia part:
"rhe Christian idea Of wealth Is q
stewardship Of trust, not based on
personal pleasure, but ON the welfare
Of others, which certainly seems
noblcst Those who have more money
or broader culture owe a debt 10 those
with fewor opportunities. There are
many ways one can help.
"Childrcn, and the sick aud aged
especially, have claims ON our attcn-
tion. The forms Of work for them are

require gifts iu order 10 do the best
