Excerpt from Lectures on the Book of Proverbs

When, however, such a gift is bestowed, it must, in order to its answering its end, be bestowed discreetly - not in any such way as is calculated to produce the impression Of selfishness, or vanity, or a mercenary spirit, on the part of him who receives it. It must, therefore, be a gift in se cret, not ostentatious not such as to bring credit to o selves, and attach meanness to the other party, - credit to us for generosity, - meanness to him for selfish cupidity. There may be cases, indeed, in which the offence has been public, and in which the gift may be a public acknowledg ment and public reparation. In such cases, publicity may be called for. But there must nothing be done that either implies on our part, or seems to impute on the other, aught that is hypocritical or dishonourable. All must be open and ingenuous,-all in simplicity and godly sincerity.
