The standing in line, thejostling and waiting, the gregariousness and publicity, aredemoralizing. {148} Missions, I regret to say, sometimes treat suchfree distributions as an advertising spectacle; but "it is of the veryessence of charity that it should be private, " and advertising, on theother hand, presupposes publicity.... I have often had opportunities togive the poor tickets for Christmas dinners, free treats, and generalcharitable distributions, but, as I have come to know the poor better, and to care more for their welfare, I have learned to resent a charitythat would help them in droves, as if they were cattle. A form ofcharitable relief that appeals to many good people in cold weather isthe free-soup kitchen, where the poor come with their kettles, and "noquestions are asked. " The hot, steaming soup and the cold, shiveringapplicants make a striking contrast, and the kind-hearted citizen isvery likely to think of such charity as "practical, " and denounce thepeople who object to it as "theorists.
