To Him who in The love of mankind holds
Communion with all kinds men, In time
comes charity. Self knowing. he rcfrains
FROM Judgment Omniscicnce alone tell
IL saint be sinner, sinner saint, or each
The thing lie seems. He who. with purpose mixed
In man his elemental qualities
Alone can gauge the strength and weakness which
Compose each being. God and Cod alone
Knows deed and dOer to the uttermOst.
The bent herctlity has given the trend
Environment has lent what circumstance
Has done to shape event. He, only knows
Who marks the sparrow's fall and whose design
Not hap nor chance the universe both rules
And runs. Who Judges defics himself
And arrogatcs II knowledge without which
MI Judgments vain. What mercy is in God
Is charity in men The Fathers love
To all is shown; He makes Ills sun To rise
Alike upon the evil and the good
md sendeth rain just and unjust both
Created In His image ne'er falls
SO low the likeness to efface Who this
Denies would minimize Gods fatherhood
Who would know God must first know men, for God
i;eveais Himself In men. and the divine
Is strongest and most easily discerned
In Him. or rich poor high or low,
in unbounded charity pre-emnent
tieFc giving ~ not char1ty, though great
Enough to beggar him who gives. Kind speech
Fen though with angel cadence charming ear
Not Of itself IL charity. What, then
Is Charity? life. not words must show
What's charity. One word defineth God.
That word Is love And charity in men
Is Gods image shining through the walls
OF flesh which hold the breath God breahcd In them
Long suffering is charity, and kind;
1t enyies not boasts itself nor shows
"A puffed-up feeling DER it's deeds; doth not
behave itself unseemy seeketh not
Its own and Is not easily provoked:
No evil thnkeh; In intquty
ltejoceth not, but in the truth alone.
Imbued with charity, life gives cheer,
And warmth. and comfort unto all who como
Within Its sphere 1t moves upon plane
or universal brotherhood 80 broad
AS to embrace all mankind He who lives
Upon that plane Is not abashed at might
Or place. OF pedigree He knows with God
as Father, man brother he's the peer
or any man. This feeling humbles him
II makes him brother to the drunken sot
Or him who's stepped from lonor's path aside;
fe does not draw his mantle close when vice
Is stalking by; the outcasts from the pale
Society has drawn still to him
Ills sisters needing love. and help. and cheer,
tie knows that now we see through glass
But darkiy, yet day will come when face
To face shall he our sight and shall know
AS we arc known. Meanwhile he is content
To show friendly face to all the world.
Withholding Judgment. understanding God
Alone knows why do the things do
And measures both weakness and our strength,
temptations downward pull, the fight make
To keep the straight and narrow path. and all
The pride and penitence of human hearts.
So live that, when Death opens wide for thee
The gates which only He who best loved men
Eepassed, thou go who's tried to do
10 others he'd have them do to him,
AS one who's loved his fellow and served,
In serving man. the God who fashioned him.
Through life have faith and hope and charity.
The last Of which is greatest Then in DEATH
Trust mercy: Mans sncerest charity
ls dimmest shadow of Gods graciousness.
Note The paraphrasing OF several OF the
First Corinthians. of will be readily apparent
with that grandest passage in tho writings Paul The
