Practice Economy From Principle—Those whose hands are
open to respond to the calls for means to sustain the cause of God and
to relieve the suffering and the needy are not the ones who are found
loose and lax and dilatory in their business management. They are
always careful to keep their outgoes within their income. They are
economical from principle; they feel it their duty to save, that they
may have something to give
