Stealing, Robbing, and Begging

Stealing, robbing, and begging are fruits of the same limb. In doing any or all of these, a person is obtaining something otherwise than through its appointed channel. It is natural to give, it is the highest order of nature to give; but in this highest order there is a system: there are appointed channels through which everything is given. The teachings of the gospel always have been to direct men's minds to these appointed agencies through which God ministers His blessings. The tendency and effort of the world has ever been to get these blessings some other way.—Gospel Farmer.
