Charity suffereth long, and is
kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed
up.-Q Corinthians 13, A.
The real meaning of charity is a
deep and true love of ones fellow
men; this includes an abiding un-
derstanding of and sympathy for
their faults and failings as we
realize our own-and it means hui
mility, and gratitude to God for
the power and privilege of .lelping
someone in spiritual, mental or
physical need.
