[FROM THE ARCHIVES]
"It is time now that philanthropy should develop to such an extent that it will become the daily habit of every good
home. Mankind, while still human, can never become so advanced that there is not still some work to be done in
carrying further ahead the vision of the leaders and bringing up the weaker ones nearer the standard of the
stronger."
