“You will have no reward in heaven for what you lay up; you will, for what you lay out. Every pound [dollar] you put into the earthly bank is sunk: it brings no interest above. But every pound [dollar] you give to the poor is put into the bank of heaven. And it will bring glorious interest; yea, and such as will be accumulating to all eternity.” [1]
