foreign countries without previously gain
ing permission to do SO from the German
government. But in the case Of shells

a decision yesterday regarding the in
heritance tax to be paid on that portion
Of the estate of the late George NJ. Pull

True Charity.

True charity is an active principle.
1t is not properly single virtue, but a
residing in the heart as a
fountain whence all the virtues of be-
nightly, candor, forbearance, generos-
ity, compassion and liberality flow as
so many native streams. From general
good will to all it extends its influence,
particularly to those with whom we
stand in nearest connection and who
are directly within the sphere of our
good offices. 1t prompts corresponding
sympathies with those who rejoice and
those who weep. 1t teaches us to
slight and despise no man. Charity is
the comforter of the afflicted, the pro-
tector of the oppressed, the reconciler
of differences, the intercessor of Often
ders. 1t is faithfulness in the friend,
brother, and equity and patience in all
things. Therefore, in all our daily
walks through life, let.us have charity,
which is the bond of peace.-R. A.
