Love Tells 2 C orinthians 5 :14 T he wife of a missionary in the New Hebrides was. compelled to leave on account o f her health. It was a deep sorrow to her, for she was ready to devote her life to the work. I realized what a heavy cross it was to her to leave, for I heard her telling the natives how her heart was aching, because, although she had given ten years o f her life, none had accepted Christ. Two years later, I was going through that island by torchlight, at night, when I met two native women, fully dressed. “ I thought nobody wor shiped here,” I said. “ No,” was the reply, “we used not to worship, but we have worshiped since our missionary left us. She cried because we did not worship, and we felt that Jesus must love us if she cared so much as that!” I. Love’s Commendation (Rom . 5 :5 ). Sacrifice, sympathy, and service are traits o f God’s character. II. Love’s Constraint (2 Cor. 5:14). The inward force and feeling of love is a power that causes us to be and do. Love’s Comfort (Phil. 2 :1 ). Comfort means help and solace. The grip o f fellow feeling, and the glow o f inward grasp are the hand and heart o f love. Love’s Conduct (Eph. 5 :2 ). To walk means keeping on. True ' affection does not change. V. Love’s Communication (Rom . 5 :5 ). The only love worth having is the love o f God. VI. Love’s Conquest (1 John 4:18). Light casts out darkness, and love turns out fear. V II. Love’s Communion (John 15:10). When this twin love twines around our hearts, our hearts love others. —P rophetic N ews . Christian Giving “ See that ye abound in this grace also.” It is a disposition created in the heart o f believers by the Holy Spirit. II. It Should Be Systematic (1 Cor. 16:2). “Upon the first day o f the week.” Keep it up to date. Balance the books every week. III. It Should Be Individual (1 Cor. 16:2). “Every one o f you”—not as fam ilies, but as individuals. Even the little ones should be trained to give. IV. It Should Be Proportionate (1 Cor. 16:2). “ As God has prospered you.” A tithe is a good minimum (Mai. 3 :8). V. It Should Be Hilarous (2 Cor. 9 :7 ). “God loveth a hilarious giver”—not grudgingly or of necessity: III. IV . I. It Is a Grace (2 Cor. 8 :7 ).
