10 him who IN the love of mankind holds
Communion with all kinds Of men, in time
Comes charity Self knowing. he refrains
From Judgment. Onniscience alone can tell
II saint be sinner. sinner saint, or each
The thing he seems lie who. with purpose mixed
In man his elemental qualities
Alone can gauge the strength and weakness which
! Compose each being. God and God alone
Knows deed and doer TO the uttermost
The bent heredity has given the trond
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 defies himself
And arrogates q knowledge without which
All Judgments vain. What mercy is in God
ls charity in men. The Fathers love
To all is shown; He makes His sun TO rise
Alike upon the evil and the good
snd sendeth rain on just and unjust both
Created In His image man ne'ey falls
so low the likeness to efface VINO this
Denies would minimize Gods fatherhood
Who would know God must first know men, for God
Reveals Himself in men, and the divine
Is strongest and most easily discerncd
In Him. or rich or poor. high or low
In unboundeds charity pre-emsnent
Mere giving Is not charity, though great
Enough to beg&ar him who gives. Kind speech
Fen though with angel cadence charming ear,
Not OF itself ts charity. What. then
Is Charity? life. not words, must show
What's charity. One word dcfineth God
That word Is love. Aud charity in men
is Gods image shining through tho walls
or flesh which hold the breath brcatcd In them,
Long suffering is charity and kind:
1t envies not nor boasts itself. nor shows
A puffed-up feeling DER Its deeds; doth not
Behave itself unscemly; secketh not
It's own and is not easily provoked;
No evil thtnkoth; in iniauity
.Itetdfcetht not, but In the truth alone
1Imbnhd with charity. life gives cheer
And warmth and comfort. unto oil who como

Il makes him brother to the drunken sot
Or him who's ssstepped from honors path aside;
He ;Gees not draw his mantle close when vice

Society has drawn arc atill to him & .u
tIis sisters needing love- and help, and cheer
He knows that now through glass
But darkly. yet. day Will come when face
To face shall be our sight and shall know
AS we are known. Meanwhile he is content
To show friendly face to all the world
Withholding Judgment. understanding God
Alone knows why do the things We do
And measures both our weakness and strength,
Temptations downward pull. the fight we make
10 keep the straight and narrow path, and all
The pride and penitence Of human hearts.
So live that when Death opens wide for thee M
The gates which only He who best loved men

As one who's loved hia fellow men and served, - 81
In serving man. the God who fashioned HIM:
Through life have faith, and hope ana charity.
The Last OF which is greatest. Then in death.
Trust mercy. Mans .sinesrest charity
is dInln,rst shadow of Code graciousness.
