“Ever of them that have richest dower,
Will heaven require the more ―
Ours is knowledge, affluence, power,
Ocean from shore to shore.
East and West in our ears have said.
Give, oh I give us your Living Bread;
But we eat our morsel alone.”
Bishop Chadwick
Gift of a Rajah
I know of an Indian Rajah who, in giving his twentieth contribution to one of the national funds, deprecated the compliment-paid him by a grizzled Indian General, a friend of earlier days, by saying: “It is nothing; it is, nothing; but it is all I have.”
What are we giving to help on God’s work among the men who are dying for us?
