FORTY-SEVENTH WEEK. Lesson 231-Learn for Monday Morning. ON CHARITY.

It is proper that alms should come out of a little purse as well as out of a great sack; but surely where there is plenty charity is a real duty. It is a tribute imposed by heaven upon us, and he is not a good subject who refuseth to pay it.—Feltham.

True charity, a plant divinely nursed,

Fed by the love from which it rose at first,
Thrives against hope, and, in the rudest scene,
Storms but enliven its unfading green;

Exub'rant is the shadow it supplies,

Its fruit on earth, its growth above the skies.-Cowper.

He bears us on from youth to age;
Then plunges in the fearful sea
Of fathomless eternity. Knox.
