Excerpt from How to Help the Poor
In these meetings, they will reap advantage from the experience and knowledge of others who are endeavoring, like themselves, to lighten the burden of the unfortunate.

Every page of this book is a prayer for more helpers, and aims to show that such labor is neither too difficult for us, nor one from which any household can feel itself altogether exempted.

He taught his follo~ers to speak of themselves "as poor, yet making many rich." "Give to him that askcth,'t therefore, should be the true motto for this revival in benevoIe nt work which ,ve calI organized or associated charity, whereby we learn to take hold
