but are willing to give freely
of what they have.
Those who have it and we
know and that is about all we
do know except that they will
'keep it until the Lord asks
them to give account of the
“talents” he has placed in
their keeping.
! Those who are wise and
make a practice of looking
i about them to see where they
can help with church, school,
i or communiy interest in any
way.
i Those who are careful to
“attend to their own busi
. ness” by aiding or discourag
• ing outside affairs that will
; directly defeat or aid the
very purpose which they are
■ working.
Those who love their fel
jjlowmen and know that no one
* can live to himself; that the
- good opinion and love of
11 neighbors and friends is
! worth more than a 11 the
I wealth or ambitions of the
l world.
