KINDNESS OF THE POOR

A touching story of how the poor help one another comes from one

of the Claremont Crusaders. A man, destitute and homeless, had

been found by him shivering on the Thames embankment. He gave

him a ticket which would provide a night’s shelter at Medland

Hall. An hour or two later the man ran up to the Crusader. “I

have just done a job,” he said, “for which I earned sixpence.

Take this ticket back. It will help some other chap.”

(1722)
