Excerpt from How to Help: A Manual of Practical Charity In the three years since this book was first offered to the public, there has been a little change in the principles and methods of organized charity. More and more the emphasis has been laid on preventive work. The provision of large funds for purposes of investigation has made it possible to learn where prevention is needed and how it can be effected, while the growing closeness of cooperation between the different forces of philanthropy and reform has rendered practicable large social movements which ten years ago would have been regarded as purely chimerical. There has been a general and most desirable forward movement, but the stress has been laid rather on social justice than on philanthropy or charity. Hence it has not been necessary to make material changes in the subject matter of this book. Some chapters have received considerable additions; wherever the point of view has changed the latest opinions have been given; and the book as a whole has been carefully revised. Its general character, however, has been preserved unaltered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Soeur Eugenie: The Life and Letters of a Sister of Charity The reader will find here, in artless style, in unaffected simplicity of manner, but full of unction and of deep interest, the story of one of those sublime lives which angels might envy and men adore - a life at once deeply hidden in God and zealously active for the good of souls - a life which seems to come re luctantly to the gaze of the public, but which is rendered all the more attractive and edifying for its modesty and humility.

Excerpt from Heroes of Charity: Records From the Lives of Merciful Men Whose Righteousness Has Not Been Forgotten N 0 soul of man can worthless find All will be precious in his sight, Since Christ on all has shined. History can nowhere present us with a more touching picture of real and persistent heroism, than the self denying, courageous, patient career of John Howard, the prisoners' friend, who never allowed himself a moment's rest, till he had visited every loathsome dungeon in Europe, loosed the fetters of the captives, and alleviated the countless sufferings of the poor prisoners. Not less a hero, was the benevolent Las Casas, who, weary and footsore, wandered from court to court, and over and over again braved all the perils of the ocean, that he might put an end to the cruelties to which the gentle Indians were subjected, and obtain some measure of justice for this oppressed race Baron Montyon sacrificing his fortune and his ease that he might everywhere seek out and relieve the wants of suffering humanity Falk, Pestalozzi, and Francke, giving up every comfort to provide asylums, refuges, and schools, for poor, neglected, and abandoned children - they, too, were as true heroes as the soldier who, regardless of danger, boldly storms the breach, or fearlessly faces the cannon's mouth. But I have selected only a few out of many, as representative men of the Heroes of Charity, for, thank God, they are to be found in all ages, arid in all classes. Well may it be said that the world neither knows nor recognises one-half of its heroes; and the heroes - and heroines too - of charity, especially in humble life, require to be sought out, to be discovered, for true heroism and true charity seek the shade; they endeavour to carry out the precept of their Divine Master Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.
