Feeling In Your Pocket
Illustration★★★★A Quaker, once hearing a person tell how much he
felt for another who was in distress and needed assistance,
dryly asked him, “Friend, has thee felt in thy pocket for
him?”’
The point
A Quaker humorously challenges a man's claim of feeling sympathy for the needy by asking whether he also felt in his pocket to help them; true compassion requires action, not mere sentiment.
