Christmas at the Goodly Family Altar and Acts of Charity
In a holiday scene the Goodly family prays together after breakfast then shares gifts and scripture. William reports giving money to a hungry drunkard’s son, later using remaining funds to help a classmate with books, while Ella donates for a washwoman’s grave stone and a child’s nursery remembrance. The narrative emphasizes mercy, education, and charity as central Christian duties.
