CHRISTMAS NUMBER “F o r unto you Is bom th is day in th e city of David a Saviour, which is Christ th e Lord. And th is shall be a sign un to you: ¥ e shall find th e babe w rapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly th e re was w ith th e angel a m u ltitud e of th e heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory *to God in th e highest, and on e a rth peace, good-will tow ard men.” (Luke 2:11-14) “F o r un to us a child is born, un to us a son is given; and th e government shall be upon h is shoulder; and h is nam e shall b e called W onderful, Counsellor, The m ighty God, The everlasting F a th e r, The P rince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9 :6 ) “Thou are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power; fo r th o u ' h a st created all things, and fo r th y pleasure they are and were created. * * * And every creatu re which is in heaven, an d on th e earth , and u n d er th e - earth , and such as are in th e sea, and all th a t are in them , h ea rd I saying, B less ing, and honour, and glory, and power, be un to him th a t sitte th upon th e throne, and un to th e Lamb fo r ever and ever.” (Rev. 4 :1 1 ; 5 :13 ) ¡HERB are many holy days, memorial days, holidays; days which commemorate events of great importance—birthdays of great men like "Washington and Lincoln; birthdays of nations, like our own fourth of July ; but there is one day different from them all, a world-wide day, celebrating an event more wonderful than any or all other events which have had to do with the history of thé world. This day we name Christmas, the day which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, God’s Son. We are not especially concerned with reference to the question of whether He was born in December or April. We are thinking only of the fact that He was born according to the prophetic Word of God, born of a virgin; that He had no earthly father; that He was God manifest in the flesh, —the greatest of all mysteries—the mystery of godliness; the fact that for hundreds of years the Jewish people looked for the fulfillment of the promise made to Satan and recorded in the third of Genesis: “ The seed of the woman shall bruise thy head.” Not the seed of the man but of the woman, virgin born, conceived of the Holy Ghost, the promise recorded by Isaiah. The time is not recorded, but the place is named, Bethlehem of Judah, the little city. His name is given,—Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ’’ All so wonderful! All so strange! All so gracious! The Christmas holiday is more beautiful than all other days because of its simplicity. It touches the hearts of the children; it appeals to the CHRISTMAS CHEER
1182 TH E K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S parents; it is wonderful in its “ homey” appeal,—the shepherds, an open heaven, a celestial pronouncement, a star, the wise men, a stable, a manger for a crib, a little baby. Could anything be more exquisitely simple ? All details appeal to the children, and all details command the awe, the wonder of all people, and call forth the highest character of praise, of thanksgiv ing and of holy exaltation of believers in the Babe of the Bible as the King of kings and Lord of lords. The appeal is different from anything and everything else that has touched the life of men. What is it? It is the voice of God speaking in it all,—speaking in terms of love to the chil dren of men; speaking of His unspeakable gift of the Son of His love,— the best He had, including all that He had,—given to a sinful world; a sacrificial gift so astounding that it staggers comprehension. Why the Gift? Because He loved men. Why the Gift? Because there was no other way by which God could save men from the guilt of sin; —no other way by which He could take them into His arms of love and into His heavenly home. A child with a holy human nature; a Son from the throne of God; a God-man destined for the cross as a sin-bearer; a gift from a loving broken-hearted Father to undeserving, sinful men. •Ring the bells of heaven for the joy it gives! Shout your praise! Give your gifts! Sing your hallelujahs! Give Him the place of honor—the best place—in your hearts, in your homes, in your lives! Tell the story, tell it out with a shout; tell of His love; tell of His cross; tell of the new life He gives; tell of its joys and of its fruitage; tell the children; tell the adults; tell your friends; tell the world that the Babe of Bethlehem, the Man of Galilee, the sin-bearing Saviour, the resurrected Son of God, the coming King,—is the One who makes Christmas the greatest of all days of the year and who will make eternity one glad, glorious “ holy-day” for all who now receive and follow Him. T. C. H. GRACIOUS GIVING People sometimes speak of the l‘ grace of giving, ’’ meaning the benev olent spirit, a kind and loving spirit in bestowing a favor or gift. The Book says, “ God loveth a cheerful giver,”—that is a “ hilarious” giver, one who is so happy in giving that he wants to shout and sing over the privi lege. Of course, this kind is a rare variety, but still possible to find. This kind of grace has to be cultivated. It is not native to the human heart. Not many people are greatly interested in laying up treasures in heaven. That bank seems too far away and vague. It has no very tangible meaning. It is a kind of clerical phrase. We like tangible assets, a bank-book—for instance—that shows a bal ance in real figures. Have you ever tried to personify a penny or a nickel? On Sunday morning delicate fingers drop a penny into the basket and the penny, blushing red, slips down to the bottom of the basket. You can hear them talking there. One says, “ I hate this church business. I was not born for grown people to use in putting it over upon the usher. Did you see how pious the lady looked when she parted company with me ? Next Sunday I will be around again at some other church. Some of these people just lay me up for a Sunday game. Those dignified nickel five-
T HE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S 1183 cent pieces laugh at us._ We were made for the youngsters. I just love to have a kid carry me around and look at me so lovingly when I go over the counter for a piece of gum. I feel fine.” It may not be true that the angels look over the battlements of heaven on Sunday morning and look at the services of the sanctuary, but if they do, we can picture the.m nudging each other and saying: ‘‘See that sancti fied bowed head and gloved finger and that poor, little shrinking penny? There it goes! Now watch her face light up and hear her sing!” Maybe we have overdrawn the, scene. Perhaps the dear one was so occupied in prayer that she missed the basket and is a penny ahead. .Well, here it is Christmas time and we rejoice in it for one thing if not for any other; we all get a shaking up and a new spirit possesses us. Sav ings banks are opened and the pennies and nickels come rolling out. We are-going to give. We have felt the contagion. Everybody has it. Even the baby chuckles with glee. Something is in the air. Streets are alive ; stores are filled; windows decorated; the old skin-flints are trying to smile like the others. The spirit of Christmas has got them. They are going to get gifts; going to make some one happy. They are going to forget their grouch and say “ Merry Christmas” to everybody. Well, thank God! If some money is wasted in candies and tops and trinkets,- it is worth it all to see the purse strings loosened up ; to catch a smile from the cranky miser; to hear the ripple of laughter in the midst of the gloom. •Hail, Christmas Day, and a hearty merry Christmas to everybody! But why cannot we have the Christmas spirit all the year ?Well, we can, if we will. Just pretend it is Christmas every morning. Think of Christ, Gosi’s good and gracious Gift. Joy and rejoice in Him. Put on a Christmas smile and go forth. Let the light that is within shine out. Give a happy greeting to everybody. Sing the carols in your heart. Bestow your gifts while it is day, and whether they be pennies or dollars, send them on their way,- buoyant with your own glad heart-life and song. This whole Christmas.business is but a waft of ther breeze from heaven where it is always Christmas. And God help us to make the meaning of Christmas real to all people lest the tisie come when the eternal gloom will settle over them and their ears be closed forever to the happy, merry Christmas joys T. C. H. THORNS AND THISTLES If the Genesis story is not true, the evolutionists have something to think about and something to explain. Here it is: “ Cursed is the ground for thy sake.” Has there been any change in this order of God’s? Do the thorns and thistles, by their abiding presence, testify always to the truth of God’s Word? Does the tilling of the ground eradicate them? Is the nature of thorns and thistles ever changed? Will they always be spring ing up' and challenging man to eradicate them, and witnessing by their un changeable nature and universal presence to the truth of God’s Word? When men with sweating brows, fight them, do they answer back: “ We are God’s witnesses. YoU cannot destroy us.” Thorns and thistles have a counterpart in the curse placed upon man in his carnal nature and hatred of God. Has the God-hating, lie-loving
1184
T H S K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S
nature of man ever known any change? Was not man made out of the dust of the earth and has he not always a relation to mother earth? Is it not written, “ Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return” ? Was not the earth cursed for man’s sake, and does not every man who wipes the sweat from his brow, wipe away God’s testimony to him of the curse that rests upon him? Does this nature of man ever change? You cannot find it in the Scriptures nor in human experience. Six thousand years have not modified it. Education, so-called, and the refinements of civilization have 'not eradicated it. “ Earthly, sensual, devilish” is the testimony of God. Does God ever change it in His own dear children who have confessed their sins and yielded obedience to the law of the new life? 'No. The Spirit lusteth against the flesh and the flesh against the Spirit and these two are contrary one to the other. One is. from above and the other from the thorn and thistle cursed earth. Is it not far wiser for us to recognize and confess facts and be done, with the effort of seeking to change the character of the soil of which we are made by intellectual efforts, and seek to bring men, women and children into fellowship and surrender to the new law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus? Neither climate nor environment can change the thorn and thistle nature of the earth while the curse remains, nor can culture nor conditions, be jthey ever so good, change tlie thorn and thistle nature of man. He must be born from above. It might be profitable for us to ponder a little upon this theme, and see whether any of us are wasting our efforts in chopping at the weeds and spending our earnings and God’s money in a vain attempt to change His law. Many of God’s dear people, in our land, and many missionaries in the foreign fields are working with the wrong kind of implements in a useless task; seeking to make the world better by hoeing the weeds. Millions of money is being worse than wasted along this line. We need to understand God’s unchanging laws and adapt ourselves to them. He has given definite instructions to us. His orders are simple
T HE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S 1185 and plain. There are no thorns and thistles in the new nature. There will be no tugging at the weeds in heaven. The earthly body and earthly nature will be sloughed off and new creatures in Christ Jesus, in a heavenly eiL- viroment, will not earn their bread with the sweat of their brow, but will feed upon God’s heavenly manna. How we should covet the joy for others and go into the world, with its thorns and thistles, to tell the story so precious to us. T. C. H. THE PRINCE OF PEACE Is. 9:6. “ Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of PC8-C6.} The “ child born” was “ the,Mighty God.” The “ son given” was the ‘‘Father of Eternity. ’’ His name is “ Emmanuel ’ ‘‘God with us ’ ‘1God manifest iu the flesh. ’’ As a ‘ ‘child, ’’ He was ‘1born, ’’ but as the Son, He was pre-existent and so was “ given.” An artist drew a picture of a wintry twilight with heavy snows, and in the background a dreary dark house, -desolate in the storm. There was something lacking in the picture. It was saddening to look upon. Then with one stroke of the brush he put a dot of yellow upon the window of the house. The effect was magical. The whole scene was transformed, and the thought was turned from the dreariness without to the warmth and cheerfulness within. This world was in such a state of darkness and dreariness when sud denly “ the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” He was “ the light and Life of men.” The whole situation was changed, for “ the people which sat in darkness saw great light, and to them which sat in the re gion and. shadow of death, light is sprung up.” (Matt. 4:16). There is “ peace to men of good will. ” .Some have strenuously sought to dispose of.the text at the head of this editorial by asserting that the words were spoken not of Christ but of Hezekiah. It is evident, however, that to apply such titles to a mere man, who was powerless to give peace to others and whose bloody reign lasted but twenty-five years, is nonsense. Others object that to call Christ “ the Everlasting Father” is to confound Him with the Father. But the literal reading is “ Father of Eternity” and is used in reference to dura tion as a Hebraism. It is not applied with reference to a distinction in the divine nature but i^the strongest possible declaration of Christ’s strict and proper eternity. f, ' , Let the Christmas season remind every true child of God that they are “ in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True
God” (I Jno. 5:20).—K. L. B. A PREACHER PINCHED
A young minister, not so long out of an up-to-date school of the prophets, was asked by a friend of ours why he did not preach'from the Word of God rather than modern fiction. His reply was, “ Must a man be confined to the Bible?”
1186 T HE K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S “ Confined!” our friend replied, “ Do you mean to say you are pinch ed when you seek in the Bible for sermon material? That is like a soft shell crab saying, ‘Must I be confined to the Atlantic Ocean?’ ” A prominent New York minister is quoted as saying that people no longer want these“ leaves from the past, these humdrum sacred texts and ancient formulas.” He declares they do not attract the active mind. “ The old beliefs and methods” says he, “ quite sincerely held by our an cestors, have become inadequate if not grossly irrelevant and out-of -date. It sounds like a feeble echo from former centuries rather than a direct message to the present day. The greatest need of the churches is a supply of men of intelligence. The churches must be able to make an appeal to the thoughtful. ’’ But what of the fact that men are dead in trespasses-and sins and want deliverance ? What of the hunger for something that will truly satisfy the soul? Is there any better scheme for saving souls than the Bible gives us? Will the discussion of current topics and the advancing of human speculations satisfy the soul? Is there any angle of human experience that is not illustrated in the Word of God? Is there any thing else for a man, called of God, to preach? The greatest preacher of the age said; “ I am determined to know noth ing among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” His strongest ad vice to a young preacher was, “ Preach the Word. ' Be instant in season and out of season.” When Christ preached the Word “ many were gath ered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door.” The great men of God who have moved the multitudes for God, have found plenty of material in the Bible. Strange, isn’t it, that some of our young preachers today think themselves pinched and have to browse in the libraries and second-hand book stores to find a theme for a Sunday ser mon. Of course a minister should be well read, but if it is his aim to feed people who are spiritually hungry, he ought to know from the testimonies of millions of people, that there is nothing but the Bread of Life that will satisfy.—K. L. B. % ^ THE DANCING CHURCH Five hundred mothers met in A tlanta, Ga., and unanimously petitioned the city au tho rities to close all dances at m idnight, and to pu t such restrictions about the dancers as to lessen tem ptations to imm orality.' The citizens of Asheville, N. C., in a g reat mass meeting, urged th e city council to refuse license to all dance hall proprietors, and th e ir request was granted. A commencement ball under the auspices of a Christian university was so shameless -in its doings th a t the report of the police, assigned to keep order, was not fit to print. A dance recently given in a small southern village was such th a t the chief of police declared th a t if th e dancers had been negroes he would have arrested them , but he dared not touch the elite citizens of th e place. The modern danGe is the fine a rt of covering w ith music, indelicate, immodest and often indecent attitud es and postures between men and women. It is too
THE K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S 1187 bad for reform ation. Its only remedy is exterm ination. It deserves destruction It is so inherently bad th a t environment is of m inor importance. It ought not to be tolerated in any h om e la n d its indulgence in public is an advertisem ent of indelicacy, immodesty and indecency. The ruin of young women which it brings to pass is arousing whole communities to protest against it. And yet; and yet; and yet some evangelical churches are encouraging it among th e ir young people. Tt is reported th a t a B aptist church in Philadelphia is building an annex w ith a room to be set ap art for dancing. Another church, in New York City, advertises among university students a dance on F riday even ings. When Solomon said, “There is a tim e to dance;” he certainly did no t refer to th is modern m ixture of sensual posture, sensuous music, and immodest dress. Worldly, wicked men confess th a t it is evil, bu t they are no saints and do no t care if it is. Professing Christians a,re its staunchest defenders, and thu s repel some young men who are trying to live, .clean lives and find in the modern dance their g reatest hindrance. A young man in a hotel, where I was stopping, confessed th a t he did not w ant to dance bu t. was dragged into it by the urgent appeal of Christian women. We believe th a t no church can lift the modern dance to a higher level, but the dance can do much to drag the church down to its low level.— A. C. D. EDDYISM DIVIDED There appeared in the “New York Times” a notice of the forthcom ing ann i versary of th e b irth of Mary Baker Eddy, and her followers were invited to meet a t her grave in Bow near Concord, New Hampshire, on Saturday, Ju ly 16th. Whereupon Mrs. August E. Stetson, who regards herself as th e tru e rep resen ta tive of Eddyism in New York, tak es a whole page of the Times to rebuke these deluded carnal simpletons for adm itting th a t birthdays, deaths and graves have any existence. She contends th a t Mrs. Baker Eddy has never died, and th a t th ere is no such thing as a grave a t Bow, New H ampshire; and by th e same pro cess of reasoning it is perfectly evident th a t th e village called “Bow” has no existence, th e state called New Hampshire has no existence, Mrs. Augusta Stetson’s body has no existence and the pen or machine w ith which sh e wrote her article has no existence. It would be good for the world if the poisonous erro r in her article had no existence. For instance: “The g reat Spiritual fact must be brought out th a t man is, n o t shall toe, perfect and imm ortal.” Which means, if it means anything, th a t all adu lterers, liafs and thieves are perfect, because sin has no existence and, therefore, adultery, lying and th e ft cannot be sin. The w ickedness of th is erro r appears when it is applied to God. Eddyism tells us th a t God is everything and everything is God. Arid because God is good, therefore, everything is good, which means th a t God is adultery, lying and th eft. The fact th a t Eddyism is a menace to morality and health is becoming very apparent. If sin has no reality th ere can be no guilt, and, if th ere is no guilt, th ere can be no condemnation. There is perfect liberty to do anything we please If th ere is no disease, th ere is, of course, no need of sanitation, the city w ater supply need not be examined, the sewers need not be cleansed, indeed, we may drink from the. sewers, for th ere is no such thing as filth and microbes of disease.

We mourn over the condition of m 1 KSipC,jj Thy Church, for on every side as we look around we see men M rk*l!sP^| endeavouring to underm ine the doctrines of the Everlasting ü Gospel. Time was when a man was famous for lifting up his M n axe upon the trees of the forest, bu t now they w ith axes break down n the carved work of Thy sanctuary. They despoil Thy tru th . There is ü scarcely a single doctrine of Thy Word which the wise men among n us do not deny. Yea, and those th a t pretend to be the m inisters of Üj the Gospel are the first to speak against it, and to denounce it, and to n sanction license to sdn because Thou wilt not punish it, and to declare ¡1 ' th a t Jesus Christ is not Thy Son. O Lord our God, our h eart often ü sinks w ithin us; wë are ap t to wish to lay our hand upon the ark to == steady it, for the oxen shake it; bu t we know it is in Thy hand, and, H having spread th e case before Thee, we leave it there. Many a Rab- H shakeh’s le tte r have we read of late; behold, we bring it into the sane- == tu ary and spread it before the Lord. O Lord our -God, rebuke unbe- fi lief, rebuke th e scepticisms of those who assail both Thee and Thy WÈ Christ and th e Gospel of Thy T ruth. ü Give to those who know Thee intenser faith in the eternal verities, ü « burning into us by experience th e things which we do know. May m they be beyond all question to us! And may we never be ashamed 9 to glory in th e good old way, the way th e fath ers trod, the way which ü leads to heaven and to God! May we not be ashamed to vindicate n ü it and to bear reproach; for Thy Gospel has of old been a stumbling- ü H block, and to th e Greeks foolishness, and so we expect it ever to be M a stumbling-block to those who go after the way of s’uperstition, and H §= also to be foolishness to the wise men of the world! 0 God, again H confuse the knowledge of men by what they th ink to be th e foolish- m ness of the Gospel. Avain let it be seen th a t the foolishness of God is ü = wiser th an men, and t t e weakness of God is stronger th an men.

Enoch was tra n sla te d (Gen. 5:24) and, like the church, which will be translated, was not left to see the world’s evil rise to a head. The earth was filled w ith violence (Gen. 6 :1 1 ). The earliest skeletons show th a t man' had g reat muscular powers and th ere are indications of vio lence and brutality. “Noah found grace” (Gen. 6 :8 ). The first thing said of Noah.

Don’t pray to be like Jacob who “w restled with God.” It was God who was w restling w ith Jacob. Jacob Was a wrestled-w ith man. Don’t be th a t kind of a Christian. Nothing is so ingenious as fear.

TWO IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS 1. Beginning w ith on r JANUARY NUMBER which appears December first, we will carry no outside advertising in ou r columns. This policy has been adopted in view of th e grow th of th e Bible In stitu te work which demands more and more space in The K ing’s Business, and because of ou r desire to devote more of our space to definite Bible study m aterial. This is cu tting off a considerable portion of th e income of th e magazine, and we do n o t contemplate raising th e price a t present. We are counting on our subscribers to help us double th e present circulation, and so to p u t th e magazine on a self-sustaining basis. If you appreciate th is move lo r th e good of ou r read ers, kindly “SAY IT WITH SUBSCRIPTIONS” We th a n k all o u r advertisers fo r th e ir patronage in th e past. Many of them may have th e ir products made known th rough th e advertising of th e B iola Book Room, w here these products are carried. The m anager of th e Book Room will be glad to cooperate w ith any of these producers when some special publicity may be required. 2. A new featu re in our Sunday School Lesson D epartm ent. We have had many requests in th e past fo r a “Question D epartm ent” in connection w ith the lesson helps. When thoughtfully prepared, such questions provoke deep thought and may be helpfully used in Sunday School classes. Rev. W. H. Pike, who in the past has prepared th e Illustrations, will h ere after prepare th e “Lesson Questions” and we are sure our readers will be delighted w ith th e plan adopted by Mr. Pike and shown in th e lesson for Janu ary 1, 1922.
T ne Priceless Privilege of Giving T ru e G iving T h a t Involves Sacrifice, an d the G iving of Self, th e Bible P lan

are four fundamental which are essential to !-rounded Christian life: —th e Word of God, the
you r m essenger, and he that m inistered to m y w an ts.” (Phil. 4:15-18) “ Now y e Philippians know also, th at in the beginning o f the gospel, no church communicated w ith me as concerning g iv in g and receivin g, but y e only. F o r evex^ in Th essalon ica y e sent once and again unto m y necessity. Not because I desire a g ift ; but I desire fru it that m ay abound to you r account. B u t I have a ll and abound; I am fu ll, h av in g received of Fpaph roditu s the things which w ere sent from you, an odour o f a sw eet sm ell, a sacrifice acceptable, w ell pleasing to God«.” God’s grace was m anifest in moving the h earts of th e Macedonians to give, — th a t grace of God which P aul speaks c-f in T itus 2:11: “ F o r the g ra ce of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to a ll n*en.” The church seems, to have been poor, bu t th ere were in it no m iserable croak ers singing “Charity begins a t hom e;1'’ or “Look out for Number O ne;’’ or “He th a t careth not for his own is worse than an infidel.” The seal of the church was upon their gifts, and it bore the image of Christ. They gave until they felt it, and it felt good. They sacrificed self, generously, beyond th eir ability from the human standpoint. They were single-hearted. Their motives were as pure as their poverty was deep. They spoiled their goods joyfully. It was spontaneous giving, v. 3: “ F o r to their own pow er, I bear record, yea, and beyond their pow er th at they w ere w illin g of them selves.” This was no mechanical, machine- planned project. It was not worked up. A few men were not seen before hand and pledged to give so much in order to squeeze the sovereigns out of the others. They were afraid Paui would not accept the gift and plead witn
milk and meat, for sustenance. Second, — prayer; a living touch w ith our loving F ath e r who delights in our dependence upon Him for every need. Third,-—a h eart of compassion, like the h ea rt of our Lord, for all men, and a definite purpose and program to do our best for the salvation of others. F o u rth ,— the heavenly grace and joy in giving. One of the sad things in the lives of believers is the loss of this priceless privilege, and th e words of this article are designed to refresh th e memory, re new th e desire and restore the h ab it of gracious giving. In 2 Cor. 8:1-15 Paul gives us a message well worth our meditation. F irst, there had been self-sacrificing giving, vs. 1, 2: “ Moreover, brethren, w e do you to w it of the g ra ce o f God bestowed on the churches o f M acedonia: H ow that in a g re a t tria l of affliction the abundance o f their jo y and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their lib erality .” The churches of Macedonia, Thessa- lonica and Berea had given out of th e ir abysmal penury-^-their awful poverty. “Their joy overflowed th eir affections and th eir liberality overflowed th eir p o v erty /’ The Philippian church had Lydia whose noble example no doubt stirred th e ir souls and stim ulated their giving. This was the only church from which Paul would accept personal help (Phil. 2 :2 5 ): “ Y e t I supposed it n ecessary to send ta you Hpaphroditus, ray brother and com panion In labour, and fellotv-soldier, but

him to receive it. They got credit for it-because they wanted to give it. We only get credit in heaven for th a t which we gladly give. The largeness of the gift is not the test w ith God, bu t the love in the gift. Two mites, if it rep resents our all, is as much as a million. ‘ God loveth a cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9 :7 ) and He looks afte r th a t so rt of a giver. Bunyan says: “A man th ere was; some though t him mad; The more he cast away, the more he h ad .” and John Dods, a wealthy man, testi fies: “The more I made, th e more I gave; The more I gave, th e more I made.” W h a t a blessing to the world is a spontaneous giver, and what a blessed church such a church would be. I t was sp iritu al giving, vs. 5. 6: “ And this th ey did, not as w e hoped, but first g a v e their ownselves to the Lord, and unto us by the w ill of God. Insomuch that w e desired T itu s, that as he had begun, so he w ould also finish in you the* sam e gra ce .” This was the foundation of th eir liberal giving,*—they gave themselves. If one has yielded his will to God, if he has surrendered himself, giving things will be easy. A surrendered soul is God-centered and God’s will is the law of th a t life. Through such a soul the grace of God can flow unhindered. The lives of these believers were in th eir gifts. This constitutes tru e giv ing. There are many who would give everything else rath e r th an give them selves. I t is useless to preach cream and live skim milk. The sp iritual law of giving— having given ourselves-—is: F irst,— “Lay by in store th e first day of th è week” (1 Cor. 16 :2 ). That is, be systematic. Systematic giving is easy giving. Laying aside small sums in a definite manner has a large in fluence upon the life of th e individual and of th e family. Have a tim e to set aside God’s portion, and then observe it faithfully.
Second,— “Every one of you.” There i*' no exception to th is rule,— no plead ing poverty, no inventing of excuses. All are to give something. Under th e law it was a lamb, a kid, a tu rtle dove, a handful of flour. There is no substi tu te for giving. N q singing, shouting or grandstand playing will take the place of giving. Even praying must be an abom ination to God if th e man be mercenary. Third,— “As God h ath prospered.” The appeal is to the conscience. As God commits, He expects. “F o r unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required.” (Luke 12:48) The question as to how much, what proportion, is left here w ith the indi vidual believer. You can settle it by getting the mind of the Lord if you are so minded. It was stim u lating giving, v. 7.: “ Therefore, as ye abound In everyth ing, in faith , and u tterance, and know ledge, and in a ll diligence, and in you r love to us, see that y e abound in this gra ce also.” It is perfectly lawful to stim ulate others to give. We are to provoke one another to good works (Heb. 10 :24 ). Paul uses the example of the Mace donian churches, and the giving of His life by the Lord Jesus, as a means to stim ulate the Corinthians to do their best. They have been graced w ith many gifts from God,— with faith, love, knowledge. Now he w ants th eir grace of giving also to be enlarged. He calls giving a grace, a service, a manifesta tion of h ea rt life. To give is as much an obligation on the believer as to pray or to perform any other duty to God. This was manifested in the highest character by God in the grace of giving His Son, and by th e Son in giving Him self. He was rich (Col. 1:16) “ F o r by him . all things w ere created, that are in heaven, and th a t.a re in earth, visible and invisible, w h ether th ey be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or pow ers; all things w ere created b y him and fo r him.” yet He became poor (Isa. 53:2) _

“ F o r he sh all g ro w up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of d ry ground; he hath no form or comeliness; and when w e sh all see him there is no beauty that w e should desire him .” (Luke 9:58) “ And Je su s said unto him, F o x e s have holes, and birds o f the air h ave n ests; but the Son o f man hath not w h ere to la y his head.” so th a t He m ight make us rich (Rom 8:17) “ And if children, ithen h eirs; heirs of God,^and jo in t-h eirs w ith C h rist; if so be that w e suffer w ith him , that w e m ay be also glorified together.” The Lord H imself seeks to stimu- late th e grace of giving in Luke 6:38 “ G ive and it shall be given unto yo u ,” Acts 20:35: “ It is more blessed to g ive than to re - eeive.” And lastly, it was satisfactory giv ing, vs. 13,14 “ F o r I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened; B u t by an equality, th at now at this time you r abundance m ay be a su pply tor their w an t, that their abundance also m ay be a su pply fo r you r w a n t; that there m ay be equality.” Paul Seeks not to lay a burden upon any. Many were giving th eir full share, giving beyond th eir ability, but many others were w ithholding more than was meet. (Prov. 11 :24 ). An equality will be reached when each has a willing mind. _ If th ere is the giving of self and of all th a t self controls, the will is taken for the deed. The people gave w illingly for th e tabernacle and for th e temple (Ex. 25:2; 35 :5 ; I Chron. 2 9 :9 ). The ru le is given in 2 Cor. 9:7: “Every man as he purposeth in his heart.?’ Many poor people think th a t they would be very generous if they were rich, and delight in censuring the rich. An honest exam ination of our hearts will disclose the fact th a t we are all controlled natu rally by the same mo tives. Many rich are covetous and sel fish, and many poor are covetous and selfish. On the other hand, many rich are more solicitous and far more g en er ous in th eir gifts than many of the poor. You can measure what you would do
by what you do do. Let each do his best. Christ w ants the best! He in the far-off ages, Once claimed th e firstling of the flock, the finest of th e sheep. And still He asks His own w ith gen tlest pleading To lay th eir highest hopes, and brightest prospects a t His feet. He’ll not forget the feeblest service.- humblest love, He only asks th a t of our own we give Him The. best we have. And is our best too much? O, friends, let us remember How once our Lord poured out His . soul for us; And in the prime of His mysterious manhood Gave up His precious blood-upon the cross. The Lord of lords, by whom the worlds were made, Through b itter grief and tears, gave us The best He had. DOES IT PAY? Does it pay to invest money in the lives of young men and women? Do they appreciate it? Well, certainly some of them do, for a le tte r was just recently received from a former In sti tu te student, now living in South Wales, in which she encloses a d raft for a hundred dollars. This am ount she saved out of th e “munificent” salary which she receives of one pound a week (or about $5.Q0 in American money)! In other words, this young woman gives twenty-five weeks’ salary to the Lord to be used in train ing other young men and women. Is’n t it worth while to invest in the lives of young men and women who are willing to make such sacrifices?

Never in the history of th e world were preparations made for th e b ru tal destruction of human lives on such gi gantic scales; never were such hellish and u tterly inhuman schemes for the in fliction of death and misery conceived. All these preparations are not being made w ithout some end in view. Those who have rejected the though t of any thing approaching a literal fulfillment of th e terrib le pictures given us in the book of Revelation, are beginning to see th e possibility of even worse things th an those pictured there. Some of the world’s greatest scientists are bending every energy to make possible these very horrors. At a g reat gathering of statesm en in Edinburgh recently, protests w e r e voiced against chemical warfare.

oldest empires, China and Russia,” he said, “are today in a welter of anarchy and even in the most stable of govern ments the underground rumblings of revolution may be h eard .” W ars are due because wars are born of the lusts of unregenerate men (Jam 4 :1 ) r There never was a tim e when these lusts were allowed to run so wild. Advanced education is tu rn ing out the tools of destruction. If ever th ere was need of preaching the tru e Gospel of Christ, it is now. This is no hour for “ pussy ca t” religion. It is Christ alone th a t can save the souls of men and He alone will save hum anity from being annihilated because of sin. When He comes “He will make wars to cease unto the end of th e e a rth ” (Psa. 4 6 :9 ). “He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many peo ple, and they shall beat th eir swords into plowshares. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn wars any more.” (Isa. 2 :4 ).

Anger can be like an unclean bonfire; it can also be like a sea of glass mingled w ith fire. There can be more smoke th an light in it, more selfish passion th an holy purpose. The fuel th a t feeds it may be envy and jealousy and spite, and not a big desire for the good of men and glory of God.

In a recent rem arkable book, “The Next W ar,” the w riter says: “A ttack ing nations will make no foolish w arn ing declarations of war. They will strik e first and the strik ing will be te r rible beyond description w ith gases, in visible rays and even w ith germs. The g reat cities will be totally destroyed, the g reat ma'ss of men, women and chil dren will be dead, even th e land will be useless, and the stench of a g reat fester ing will make disgusting th e earth A fter th e recent war, th e world goes about on crutches, staring w ith bleary eyes. A fter the next, it will have no limbs a t all and it will be cursing blind.” The Bible declares th a t the tim e will come when “ the cities of the nations will fall.” (Rev. 16:19)'. The third p art of men will be killed “by fire, and by smoke and by brim stone” (Rev. 9: 18). I t will require seven years to cleanse the land after Armageddon (Ezek. 3 9 :9 ). Men will stop th eir noses (Ezek. 3 9 :11 ). Men will blas pheme God.because of the plagues (Rev. 16). We may as well face the facts. There will be wars such as can be explained only by the fact of a personal devil w ith hosts of evil forces a t his command as the unseen directors. Bravery and hu man daring will play little p art in the next war. It will be a b attle of brains and money. So terrib le will it be th at “ except the tim e be shortened no flesh should be saved.” A London paper says, “The horizon is clouded in a fashion th a t Britons have not known for many generations.” A recent speech by Jam es M.
