CHARLES ALBERT BREWTON.
Imagine well a human life
Brim full Of love divine;
You'll find in It a radiance
To bless your life and mine.
But supplement that Ufe in mind
With other means and powers;
And. in the end. you'll find It out
It's blessed this world Of ours
One lives not to himself alone,
But on 10 others lean;
And he who has OF this worlds goods
A giving should Do seen.
The poor we have and always will
The fault is not their choice;
And we'aTe bound by charity
To help with means and voice.
VICTOR P. HAMMER
Practical charity does not consist in
giving money promiscuously or In contrib
Uting freely 10 every charitable enter
prise presented; but in searching out the
needy and alleviating their distress.
Every eCiI must be known before il can
be remedied, and man must enter into
the cottages and garrets Of the poor:
must see them naked. hungry. and
thirsty. exposed 70 the inclemencies Of
the weather, 20 the sudden attacks or
slow wastinss Of disease; they must see
the effects or their UnrHIy passions and
their grovellng vices; and must acqua.ut
himself with all the consequences OF Is-
norance and poverty before his charity
IS practical OF true.

Let us act toward our feIIow-creatures
as God does 20 us and be 20 them what
the sun is TO the whole universe. As he
daily diffuses His benign influence over
the whole earth: as He shines upon the
ungrateful as upon the righteous. and as
He gilds the bosom Of the valley, as well
as the lofty summit OF the mountain. so
let our lives be useful. berefcent. and
consolatory 10 our fellCw-Creatures- May
each returning day renew the charitable
emotions OF our hearts. and may we do
all the good in our power. and e1deavo-
so 10 live and TO act that ou- lives should
be a blessing 20 mankind. IDA BIZ.
Though I speak with the tongues o.
men and angels and have not charity. I
am become as sounding brass or a tin
king cymbal.
Aad though I have the gift Of pr0ph-
ecy. and understand all mysteries and all
knowledge; and though / have all faith.
so that I could remove mountains. and
have not charity. am nothing.
Charity sunereth long and is kind.
chariety envieth not. charity vaunteth
not itself. is not pufed up.-Autonio.
