Silent Philanthropy
Matthew 6:1
Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.


Alms should be like oil, which, though it swim aloft when it is fallen, yet makes no noise in the falling; not like water, that sounds when it lights.
