To do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God
is well pleased.

HEBREWS 13:16

Freely ye have received, freely give.

MATTHEW 10:8

SURELY Thou hast some work for me to do!

Oh, open Thou mine eyes,

To see how Thou wouldst choose to have it done,

And where it lies

ELIZABETH PRENTISS

THEN saw I that each kind compassion that man hath on his fellow-
Christians with charity, it is Christ in him.

MOTHER JULIANA

SAY not you cannot gladden, elevate, and set free; that you have nothing
of the grace of influence; that all you have to give is at the most only
common bread and water. Give yourself to your Lord for the service of
men with what you have. Cannot He change water into wine? Cannot He make
stammering words to be instinct with saving power? Cannot He change
trembling efforts to help into deeds of strength? Cannot He still, as of
old, enable you in all your personal poverty "to make many rich?" God
has need of thee for the service of thy fellow men. He has a work for
thee to do. To find out what it is, and then to do it, is at once thy
supremist duty and thy highest wisdom. "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do
it."
