Understanding this quote
The speaker says that if the other person treated the subject in their distinctive way, it might lessen the burden carried by many people. Even helping just one person would be deeply satisfying to someone with a generous concern for others. “Gracious God!” and “what a feast” show the speaker’s strong delight at the thought of such relief.
