CHARITY CARRIED TO EXTREMES

ENRY JAMES, at the conclusion of of lectures
Balzac, told anecdote about the great French
novelist.
.Balzac walking with friend, = he said, "when
beggar approached and asked for a little money.
This beggar had red nose he unkempt, he smelt
of abnthe and the dull look of his eye indicated that
already had drunk that day absinhe than was good
for him.
Nevertheless Balzac, with pleasant smile word
Of encouragement, handed the franc.
Why did do that 2 said the novest's companion
Surely you know that man is not deserving?
. It is because he was not deserving that gave to
him. said Bazac There is real charity in giving money
to the deservng it is only coldblooded performance Of
duty'''
