1197. CHARITY, Principles of Distributing.—[continued].
It is a duty certainly to
give our sparings to those who want; but
to see also that they are faithfully distributed,
and duly apportioned to the respective wants
of those receivers. And why give through agents whom we know not, to persons whom
we know not, and in countries from which we
get no account, when we can do it at short
hand, to objects under our eye, through
agents we know, and to supply wants we see?—
To Mr. Megear. Washington ed. vii, 286.
