Excerpt from Duty of Giving Away: A Stated Proportion of Our Income I Propose to submit a few observations on the duty of giving away a stated proportion of our income. For the practical handling of the subject, I know not that I can do better than attempt to Explain the duty, State the grounds whereon it rests, and Plead for practical attention to it. When we speak of the duty of giving away a stated proportion of our income, we do not mean that all persons having equal incomes are bound to give away equal sums, however their other circumstances may vary. Power to give away may be modified by three circumstances, - family, locality, and station. Of two persons, each receiving a thousand dollars a year, one has seven children, the other is a bachelor.
