A Plea for the Poor
Galatians 2:10
Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.


Some one was expressing surprise to Eveillon, canon and archdeacon of Angers, that none of his rooms were carpeted. He answered: "When I enter my house in the winter-time, the floors do not tell me that they are cold; but the poor, who are shivering at my gate, tell me they want clothes."
