, reward . Let us , then , unite pur little bounty this day for the relief of the indigent . You , who are always ready to g ive , and glad to distribute , will not , on this occasion , aft grudgingly , or of necessity . I have not , as is usual , excited your feelings by tragic scenes , and
melancholy tales of woe . On one hand , I am unequal to the task ; on the other , generous hearts require not such artificial machinery . To sum up all ; let us , my brethren , whose peculiar charaaers are love , friendship , and universal charity , be shining examples to the rest of mankind : let us shew that we enjoy these perf ' eaions , not in , name only , buf in deed and truth . Let us be kindly affeaioned , not only to each otherbut to all mankindand so live in unitypeacecharity
, , , , , and benevolence , with every individual in this world , that , in that which is to come , we may receive the summons promised by our blessed-Lord , in which lie seems to make charity and benevolence the sum of all religion , and represents the last judgment in . such a , manner as if the determination of our final state entirely depended on the discharge of these duties : ' Comeye blessed of my Father
, * inherit the kingdom prepared for you , from the foundations of the world : for I was an hungered , and ye gave me meat ; I was thirsty , and ye gave me drink ; 1 was a stranger , and ye took me in ; naked , and ye cloarhed me ; I was sick , and ye visited me ; I was in prison , and ye came unto me .
