A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
The spirit of self-denying charity derives its inspiration from a higher sphere, but all- the same in this world of ours actions speak louder than words. This is illustrated by the following incident: In a certain Sunday-school there had been inaugurated the practice of the children quoting some- Scriptural text as they dropped their pennies into the contributiop box. On the first Sunday a little shaver walked up and said, " The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,” and in dropped his penny. ” Charity covereth a multitude of sins,” and in dropped the next. ‘‘lt is more blessed to give than to receive,” quoted the third and so on. Just then up walked a little fellow with the unmistakable remnants of toffee on his chubby face, and as he dropped his penny, he bawled out, ” A fool and his money are soon parted.”
