Philanthropy and True Religion

PHILANTHROPY is not religion, but there is no religion without philanthropy. He that is indifferent to the poor is no Christian, no matter what his creed or his professed experiences. How to care for the poor is another question. It is to be done not merely by feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, but yet more by laws and educational and religious influences which enable them to provide for themselves.
