EQUITY. but reioiceth with the truth
Charity gives recognition. when the
cloths are old and worn
Charity comes TO cheer and sOothe when
lying sick and worn.
Charity takes your hands and lifts them
when on the downward track.
Charity does the same before you, that
It does behind your back,
II when odds are strong against you, It
fights for You to the end.

The Bible tells us. without charity or
love, we are nothing. and Christ shows
US in the lesson Of the Good Samaritan
the nature OF that love, or charity, which
we should all have.
Love is the greatest commandments
is the fulfilling OF the law.

Like the song Of the lark in the first
days Of spring,
Is the word from your heart with love in
its ring.
Like the scent OF a rose IN the sweet
month Of Jdne.
Is your cheer-Efving thought put IN
words opportune
Like a cup Of cold water-clear, spark
ling. and fresh
Are yours words Of good cheer and OF
comfort and rest
The world Is sweary,
Re IoN-iuo and CHEEKY
Send forth the good words that VIII
strengthen and bless.

1861 Fifteenth street northwest
Fit up a feet 70 sail around the world
And touch al every port where man
abides;
Give unto charity complete control
While DER the pillows on her TRIP she
rides.
If she assistance needs her plans to make
And TO dispense the gifts she holds for
Sweet faith and hope win join in sweet
accord
And answer promptly to her urgent call
No stock too large to have for the demand
The cry Of need is ever at our door;
Great hearts are born each day and the
commands
To measure out in full to needs most
sore.
So ever thus It is and aye viii be,
And charity VIII never Office lose;
She cannot be retired at any age,
Her feet around the world must ever
cruise. L. .. ELLIOTT.

He doeth well who doeth good
To those Of his own brotherhood;
He doeth better who doth bless
The stranger In his wretchedness:
Yet best, OH best OF all doth he
Who helps a fallen enemy.
