He Giveth Richly to the Needy.

Rev Or. H n B. Turner. rector a
St Peters p p Church, Lewes. has set
an example for aiding those who are
without work that will doublv commend
itself to every lover Of his fellowman
There are many sailors out Of employ
ment and without money at Lewes, and
Dr. Turner, who has q nice, comfoI table
home, has invited them to sleep in his
house at night, whenever they may wish.
Not infrequently, we are informed, this
humane host goes TO bed with no one.else
in his home and awakens in the morning
to find every available bit Of space filed
with sleeping sailors.
Bishop Cook did well in bringing this
example of real helpfulness to the atten-
tion of the public, for such charity is
most unusual and this instance reveals
the identity of man who is wiling and
glad to give of bis best to his needy
brethren. 1t is, indeed, pleasure to
record such an example Of unselfshness
and such splendid helpfulness for there
are no conditions attached to this hos
pitality except that the recipient is in
need.
Really. one must bow before such
man who gives Of his very self to the
poor. How many Of US would open our
door all night to the homeless and spell
welcome" above the portal in such an
atmosphere Of love and sincerity that all
who come enter and find comfort, refresh
ment and good cheer We used to hear
Of such unselfshness IN earlier yeals, and
we are glad to know that this spirit Of
love your neiRhbor as yourself still
lives and is occasionally, though rarely,
manifested
