THE RIGHT KIND OF CHARITY
A thoughtful woman asked the other day, in the course of conversation, ' Are we charitable enough? Not the charity that consists in almsgiving, do I mean, but the charity that thinketh no evil and speaketh none. Are we not too prone to judge our fellow-travellers on life's highway? And do we not credit «oo readily the whispered reports of evil concerning our neighbor? Now,' she continued bravely, 'I am not trying to condone the faults of this one or that one, nor asking you to accept as your associate one who you are convinced is not worthy of your regard. But, good friend, I would rather be imposed upon and trust an unworthy person than to charge with evil, even in my heart, one who is, to all intents, trying to live right.'
