Profitable Scattering
Proverbs 11:24
There is that scatters, and yet increases; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty.


Every year George Moore wrote these words in his pocket-book. They became engraved on his soul, and to an extent formed his creed: "What I spent I had: What I saved I lost: What I gave I have."
