They were as follows:
l. Motive in giving. 1t should be
for the love vi God because the OBJ
ject of charity is child OF God and
therefore worthy Of love.
=. The Conception of Equality and
Brotherhood. There is no condescen-
ton ON the part of the giver and no
abascment on the part of receiver as
all are equally Gods children.
8. The Importance of Personal
Service. This is as important us the
gift itself. Its effects on the giver are
to make him more humble, to lead
him to see more clearly the concrete
needs of the poor and unfortunate,
and to make him more generous in
giving Of material help.
4. Right use Of Wealth. All mate
rial wealth, over and above needs Of
body and that which is necessary to
support social position tittingly, is a
trust and belongs of right to our
needy neighbor.
5. Our needs regard heart and mind
rather than physical material COM
forts A note of exaggeration marks
our spending from the highest to the
lowest classes. All increase in mate
rial wealth should go for the benefit
of mind and heart, not for better
homes and better clothes.
