Charity

"CHARITY discharging all the duties of love to God and to our fellow-men."[1]

"CHARITY endears the members one to another!”[1]

"CHARITY continues the communion and fellowship of heart with heart. She inquires about his home and family, and how it is they have not joined him in his pilgrimage, and whether blame attaches to him for any neglect on his part of their spiritual interests. To all these inquiries CHRISTIAN answers truthfully and well. His wife would not resign the world and the pleasures of the world; and his children would not surrender the pleasures of youth; and thus did the spell of worldliness bind them to carnal things."[1]
