CHARITY IN THE TWENTIETH
CENTURY.
y q

" ~ WHAT is charity? Some of
M us used to think II red
copper cent or crust OF
bread. But charity Is
something else. Charity is not even a
sack OF flour OF bag of potatoes. 1t
is a great deal bigger and broader
than either Of these There are
:houghtless persons who imagine and
declare that the world is growing
worse. Yet IT is within the memory
OF men now living that practically all
the great world movements for the
amelioration of the condition of man
kind have been started. Until the
middle OF the nineteenth century the
world over human life and human
happiness were held as cheap and as
despicable as dirt. There has grown
up among men a sacred feeling for
humanity. The world is growing more
charitable day by day
Charity does not mean the mere Civ
ing of a begrudged nickel to a SILVER

means acquiescence I'm the universal
desire to make human life more pleas
