Christian charity. We all admire the
of the earth, who give tens and hundreds
of thousands of dollars to good objects
But I am speaking now of those who, out
of their pinched poverty, help others-.oi
such men as those Christian missionaries
at the wes+, who proclaim Christ to tAt
people, one of them, writing to the secre
tary in New York, saying: l thank you
for that s25; Until yesterday. we have
months. nua l We have suffered terribly. Ny,
children have no shoes this winter" And
of those people Fho have only half loaf
| of bread, but give a piece Of it to Others
who are hungrier, and of those who have
only o scuttle of coal, but help others
| to fuel, and Of those who have only a
| dollar in their pocket and give twenty
five cents to somebody else, and of that
father who wears shabby coat and. OF
that mother, who wears a faded dress,
eled. You call them paupers or ragamuf;.
fins or emigrants. I call them heroes and
heroines. You and L may not l:now
where they live, or what their name is.
| God knows, and they have more angels
lowering over them than you and [ have,
and they will have a higher seat in heaven.
They may have only cup of cold water
to give poor traveller or may have only
picked a splinter from the nail of a childs
the treasury, but the Lord knows them;
Considering what they had, they did
more than we have ever done, and their
| faded dress will become a white robe;
and the small room will be an, -xterna!
| mansion and the old hat will te exchanged
for coronet Of victory and all the ap.-
fplause of earth and the shouting OF heaven
| viii be drowned out when God rises up
TO give His reward to those humble WORK
