The inscription at the base of the "Charity" statue reads:

Whosoever shall give to drink
unto one of these little ones
a cup of cold water only in
the name of a disciple, verily
I say unto you, he shall in
no wise lose his reward.

The is taken from Matthew 10 - The reward of Service. The full verse from the King James Bible, on the Bible Hub website, is:

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
