Delicacy of Feeling

Delicacy of Feeling

THE value of a charitable deed depends entirely upon the way it is done. Remember, the poor are always sensitive. Said a poor woman: “If anyone gives me anything and then tells of it, I’ve paid for it” Yes, paid for it in shame and distress more than the gift was worth. Said a lady at her gate one day: “That’s Mrs. Dean; I know it’s her by her dress. I gave it to her.”

They were from the hearts of sympathy and appreciation.
