Philip and his wife found room for the father and son, and shared with them what comforts they had.

It should be said that after moving out of the parsonage into his house in the tenement district, Philip had more than given the extra thousand dollars the church insisted on paying him.

The demands on him were so urgent, the perfect impossibility of providing men with work and so relieving them had been such a bar to giving help in that direction, that out of sheer necessity, as it seemed to him, Philip had given fully half of the thousand dollars reserved for his own salary.

His entire expenses were reduced to the smallest possible amount.

Everything above that went where it was absolutely needed.
