HOW DO WE GIVE? SEVEN POSSIBLE WAYS
1. The Careless Way: To give something to every cause that is presented, without inquiring into its merits. 2. The Impulsive Way: To give from impulse — as much as often as love and pity and sensibility prompt. 3. The Lazy Way: To make a special offer to earn money for worthy projects by fairs, bazaars, etc. 4. 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-complacence. 5. The Systematic Way: To lay aside as an offering to God a definite portion of our gains — one tenth, one fifth, one third or one half (rich or poor can follow this plan). 6. The Equal Way: To give God and the needy just as much as we spend on ourselves. 7. The Heroic Way: To limit our own expenditures to a certain sum and give all the rest of our income.
