We can not permanently benefit men until we are willing to get near to
them. The Christian method of charity is illustrated in this incident
in the career of a notable promoter of London city missions:
Love is not fastidious; her hands are as busy as her heart is
full. He (Frank Crossley) found five dirty youngsters (their
father a sot, their mother in the sick ward), and he burned
their old clothes and clad them in clean ones, and then sent
them to play with his own boy! Is it any wonder if both their
father and mother were won?--PIERSON, “The Miracles of
Missions.”
