It is also thus employed when it ministers to covetousness ; as for example, when it is used merely as the means of further acquisition* With these there may be combined various other modes of expenditure, according to the character, the age, and the passions of the individual. The love of distinction, the love of power, the love of ease, may each call for its portion out. of our annual income 5 but of all of them the object is evidently and exclu^^ sively our own personal gratification, withou...t any visi^ ble regard to the weal or the wo of our brethren of the human race.
On the contrary, every man may, if he will, say to the all-grasping spirit of selfishness within him. Thus far shalt thoa come, and no farther ; and in the ex- penditure of his property, and the occupation of his time, think not merely of his own things, but also of the things of others. We thus act, when we banish from our tables the superfluities of life, that we may have wherewith to feed the widow and the fatherless.
