Synopsis

I. VHY ORGANIZATION BEGAN. " GIVE to him that asketh" is one of the most d ireet commands in the Christian Seri pture; doubtless, in some fonn, the same command n13Y be found in every scripture since man began his race with man. The stOV growth of moral ei viliza tion is only no,v beginning to unfold the true signifi ... cance of this law'J which is found to stand side by side vith other laws belonging to it and explaining it. These bring us to consider the Exam pIe from whom we receive our doctrine. V c find him living the life of an utterly poor man, who could give neither silver nor gold, yet whose bounty ,vas unceasing. He taught his follo~ers to speak of themselves "as poor, yet making many rich." "Give to him that askcth,'t therefore, should be the true motto for this revival in benevoIe nt work which ,ve calI organized or associated charity, whereby we learn to take hold

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from How to Help the Poor "Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." - St. Paul. "The grand doctrine that every human being should have the means of self-culture, of progress in knowledge and virtue, of health, comfort, and happiness, of exercising the powers and affections of a man, - this is slowly taking its place as the highest social truth." - William Ellery Channing. "No historic event is so important as the advent of a conviction, of a new truth. These convictions of the human soul build up institutions, change the course of events, and alter the tendencies of human affairs; and among all convictions there are none so strong, permanent, and unconquerable as religious convictions." - James Freeman Clarke.
