apology
"If he likes, each put in a small donation; but only if it he wants to and only if he is able. There is no compulsion; all is voluntary. These gifts are, as it were, piety's deposit fund. For they are not taken and spent on feasting and drinking-sessions, but to support and bury poor people, to supply the wants of needy boys and girls without parents, and of housebound old people. Poeple say: see how they love one another. One in mind and soul, we do not hestitate to share our earthly goods with one another. We have all things in common except our wives."
Tertullian; Apology, page 39.
