Giving and Relinquishing

“So Mr. Jones gave $5,000 to missions at his death, did he?” was asked of a minister the other day. The answer was: “I did not say he gave it, but he left it; perhaps I should more explicitly have said that he relinquished it, because he could no longer hold it.” The distinction needs to be kept in mind: one “gives” only when living; he “relinquishes” at death.—Selected.
