GETTING AND GIVING.


The Horn of Plenty appears to be
hung horizontally these days, the
big end down. Men are making
money faster now than ever before
in the history of the world.
If so. they ought to give money
away more literally than ever before
In history. Else the equilibrium of
things must be disturbed.
Because
The Identical system that makes
some men rich makes other men
poor. And so the need for helpful
ness grows. There are men who have
tried to succeed just as faithfully as
their successful fellows; men who
have hoped too much. or ventured too
much; who lie half dead on the
Jericho road waiting for the Good
Samaritan who shall bind up their
wounds and take them to an inn and
pay the score~tilI. they be sound
again.
There are women who have trusted
too much, or loved too much. who.
betrayed and bounded, seek to hide
their faces from an accusing world
until such a day as they may hold
their ways in purity and in honor.
There are old men and old women
who have worn out their days in
working for the world, who have long
since earned their respite, who for
some reason, or for no reason, de-
serves a home.
There are little children parent
less. miserable. who need the haven
OF merciful orphanage. Upon all these
no bounty comes I'm their dlreful day
of need. Is 1t enough that In the
name OF charity" men should send
to these the worn-out garments, the
street corner dole, the Thanksgiving
basket? MOI The measure OF re-
sponsibility is the ability TO help.
There is penalty put on the getting
OF much money-a penalty of moral
law. II IS this: Freely ye have
received; freely give"

Zazal That Is name to conjure

her glory. all her Joy, all her ury.
all her sadness. all her despair. I'm
all her betautiful resignation to n
