Giving.

One Of the persistent efforts OF peo-
ole is to give to some good cause with
out feeling It. When this is successful
the virtue has departed from the gift
II n person does not feel that he has
parted with something, II is dead
gift. He might as well put a pewter
coin In the contribution box. The fact
ls, II the dime man gives Is not n
sacrifice, he should raise II to n dollar.
Sometimes one will meet a person who
enjoys a belief that he has helped n
good cause by eating n chicken leg at
church supper. He simply thought
he could gather n flg from n thistle.
Charity Is simply another name for
love and II this is not the spirit In
which every gift is made It may post

no real good. When gift partakes
