To help the needy and the poor I always do I he best 1 cnn." Anothor gavo a bit of gold that he could well afford to spare And he too vxallted alone th" street as one who'd really done his share. And if you'd asked him he'd have said as proudly as a mortal can: "I am not steeped in selfishness, I always al-ways help my fellowman " j Now, pounderinc: on the gifts wr make, I wonder where such giving giv-ing leads. Han he done everything he should who gives what he no longer needs " Has he the right to pride hlmsell whoso kindly works are told in this: That he has merely given away tho things which he will never miss? The world needs kindly men today, unselfish un-selfish men who'll glady give Some nf the joys they crave themselves that other men in peace may A broader vision now we catch; no longer any man can say t . That he has done his duty when ho ' gives but worn-out clothes away. IrBH |
