The impulsive way: To give from impulse as much and as often as love and pity and sensibility prompt. The lazy way: To make a special effort to earn money for benevolent objects by fairs, festivals, etc. The self-denying way: To save the cost of luxuries and apply them to purposes of religion and charity. This may lead to asceticism and self-complaisance. The systematic way: To lay aside as an offering to God a definite portion of our gains—one tenth, one fifth, one third, one half. This is adapted to all, whether poor or rich, and gifts would be greatly increased if it were generally practised. The equal way: To give to God and the needy just as much as we spend ourselves. The heroic way: To limit our expenditures to a certain sum, and give away all the rest of our income.—Exchange
