CHARITY.

Be not frightened at the hard words "imposition," "imposture;" give and

ask no questions. "Cast thy bread upon the waters." Some have, unawares,

entertained angels.

--_Lamb._

215

As charity covers a multitude of sins before God, so does politeness

before men.

--_Lord Greville._

216

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.

--_Pope._

217

Where there is plenty, charity is a duty, not a courtesy.

--_Feltham._

218

We step up, when we stoop down, to help the needy.
