have somebody in one day a week
to help with the cleaning than for
you to do the work yourself and
then run about distributing food and
clothing to the poor.
SO much Of our feminine charity
is misplaced, wasted and even does
more harm than good
For the world is so filled with or
sanized charity that one is sure to
find in every locality men and women
who will work neither for money nor
owe. They simply prey upon the
!indness of others. And charity
hey do not deserve.
When we offer to work to a beggar
who is physically able, we are doing
the best sort Of good If he re-
fuses TO accept it, then he should
have no share of our bread.
There are so many worthy persons
in our midst who want work and a
home and a bit to save. These we
should aid, but for them we must
use our heads as we'll as our hearts.
Real charity DIES begin at home.
Give somebody a job yourself if
you are at all able. and there will
not be so much need of your going
out on drives TO collect funds fol-
