While there is no possibility of supply- ing work to tinge who cannot: get, it, we cannot allow whole families to perish from hunger or cold, from any fear. however well-founded, that our benevo- ; lent intervention may tend to form the habit of dependence and so paupcrize them! We often have to choose the low of two evils, or rauler, we have to follow a clear duty. and leave the mcsults in wiser hll-Y1(i.`-l than ours. All the political economy in the world can- nol. absolve us from'the plain christian duty, commanded in the wisest; of books, that of dealing out our bread to the hungry, and hearing the needy when they cry.
