Charitable impulses
A big, burly man visited the pastor's home and asked to see the minister's wife, a woman
well known for her charitable impulses.
"Madam," he said in a broken voice, "I wish to draw your attention to the
terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father is dead, the mother is too
ill to work, and the nine
children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets unless
someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400."
"How terrible!" exclaimed the preacher's wife. "May I ask who you
are?"
They sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes. "I'm the
landlord," he sobbed.
