Sympathy is better than money: so is courage, so is cheer, so is hope. It is better always to give ourselves than to give our money; certainly, we should give ourselves with whatever else we may give. “The gift without the giver is bare.” Christ Himself gave no money; but every life that came near to Him in faith went away enriched and helped. He gave love, and love is the brightest and richest coin minted in this world. And all of us can give love; none are too poor for that.
