John Boys, Anglican minister, on Lazarus & Dives from Luke 16. He is drawn to the detail of dogs licking the sores of the poor man. Dives, should have taken from his dogs to bestow on Lazarus, but instead took from Lazarus to bestow his dogs.

That which is not given to the starving is viewed by Boys as being taken away from such a person. Would anyone say this today?

How can you protect the dignity of those suffering want?
