A Heart To Give: There are two seas in Palestine. The Sea of Galilee receives but does not keep the Jordan river. The giving and receiving go on in equal measure. The other sea is shrewder, hoarding its income jealously. It will not be tempted by a generous impulse. Every drop it receives it greedily keeps. The Sea of Galilee gives and lives. The other sea gives nothing; it
is called the Dead Sea.
