by the accumulations of pennies and of
dimes. This is the way that Romanism
builds her stately cathedrals. This is the
way by which Methodism raised eight mil
lions of dollars during their centenary
year.
Years ago I knew poor mechanic who
gave twenty five gold dollars annually to
Christian enterprises, though his wages were
but dollar and half day, and his house
hold large! He put aside .fve cents dag
for the Lord, instead of wasting it for beer
and tobacco. His wife earned two dollars a
week, and laid by ten cents. The children
occasionally picked up a few pennies by run
ming on errands, etc., and they, too, were
glad to drop their mites into the box. So
they accumulated half dollar per week,
and became, spiritually, one Of the richest
families in the village.
Now, why cannot every Christian who
reads this brief article ego and do likewise?
We ask another question: Has any follower
Of Christ the moral right to accumulate and
invest great weaAh? Are not successful
earners bound to be generous and systematic
distributors?
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1871-01-18
Systematic Giving.

There is no Christian duty which is per-
formed in more slovenly manner by many
good people than the duty of giving money
in charity. Some give lazily to whatever
and whoever begs the most Justify; they are
quite as likely to encourage impostors as de-
serving objects, for they are too careless to
inquire and discriminate. Some give money
ftfully, under the spasmodic inspiration of
an eloquent appeal; others give only when
their digestive organs are "all right and
they are in good humor. A third class give
for ostentation-like the selfish curmudgeon
who bestowed hundred dollars on town
clock because he "liked to give his money
where he could hear 1t tick.
There are sensible few who give by sys-
tenn and give on principle-and give, too,
with discrimination. This is the way in
which the late Arthur Tappan bestowed his
liberal benelactions. The popularity of the
object never bribed him, and the unpopular
ity never deferred him. He held his wealth
in trust for Jesus Christ, and lived up to an
honest, conscientious stewardship. James
Lennox, Esq, of New York, whose benefac-
tons for the last thirty years have amounted
to a larger sum than Mr.. Peabodys, has
also set an example of judiciOaS distribution,
as we'll as of princely liberality.
The Bible not only counsels generous CIV
ing, but systematic giving. In his first epis
tie to the Corinthians, Paul makes this re-
commendation Upon the first day of the
week let every one of you lay by him in
store as God hath prospered him. This
money thus saved out of the weeks income
was to be put into Christ's treasury. Now
there are three vital principles involved in
this method.
The first principle is giving By plan, and
not at random. On each Sunday the store
was to be laid aside for Christian charity
There was also to be regularity in the
amount of the gifts. Instead of trusting to
the caprices of the moment, there was to be
fixed rule by which to guage the donation
The rule was "As God has prospered ham. "
The gift was to be in due proportion to in
come. The widows two mites weighed as
heavy in the scales of charity as the golden
shekels of the millionaire.
This method of giving by daily or weekly
appropriations developes also the pOwer of
the Titles. Great aggregates are made up

A Boys Relief.

4 Was once called, said Macleod, to the
city of Glasgow, to see a boy who was at
tended by relative of mine-my brother.
That boy was very weak and in great dis
tress. never, in the whole course of my
ministry, saw a boy who bore all his pains
with such marvellous meekness, and such
bright cheerfulness. He was the sunbeam
Of the house. never knew any one endure
such agony for three years. 1 was amazed
at him; and feeling was to be taught and
not to teach, / bent over that boy and said,
81 feel deeply for you; l feel deeply for
your suferings.' He looked up with his
pale, smiling face, and said, "Sir, l am
strong in Him." Not another word did l
ever hear that boy utter. He went to his
God next morning. But know few things
which took such possession of my heart, and
few things of that kind have influenced me
more in times Of difficulty and times of trial
than these few words uttered by boy who
was feeble, but at the same time stronger
than all the navies Of Great Britain, aud all
her armies-''I am strong in Him.

Identifying the hooks and Corners.

A little book has recently appeared in
England which has given us much pleasure.
The book is called the "Wild Garden" and
its author is Mr. W. Robinson. The object
of the author is to show 8 English people
what large number of garden plants, usual
ly supposed to require careful cultivation,
will, if planted out and neglected, take care
of themselves, and on and flourish from year
to year-in short, become perfectly natural
lied. He proposes that plsnts Of this hardy
nature should be planted in such hooks and
corners as most every large place presents,
and thus form what he cans his "wild gar
den," where, instead of weeds, the space
shall be filled with pleasing flowers growing
in natural way. The idea is happy one,
and quite as practicable nth us as in Eng
land. There is scarcely a farmers wife who
does not long for garden, while but few of
them are able to command the means and
time to keep one in proper order. A neg
lected garden is source of pain rather than
pleasure; but if she could have wild gar
den, where one of its merits was its freedom
from care, it would allow many one to
enjoy flowers who might otherwise be de
prived of this pleasure, Upon almost every
place there is a spot exactly adapted to a
wild garden. If it is so rocky that it has
been left untouched, al The better. Hardy
5cl6s, sdcn ~ snoN-arops. sdiPs; crocrSas,
hyacinths, dafodils, and others, do quite
well year after year. Almost any of the
well known border plants that are to be
found in old gardens are suited to the wild
garden; the columbines, larkspurs, moss,
pink, primrose, peonies, perennial phloxes,
and host of others. Some Of our more
attractive native plants would of course find
place here, and the late Towering chrysan-
themums also. We can readily see that a
wild garden can be made to the real lover
of flowers source of daily pleasure, from
the time the first crocus pushes in early
Spring, until frost has destroyed the last

Life itself is wonderful. How precious
and sweet it is: "all that man hath will
he give for his life. Life with it's FIVE
mysterious senses, its powers of knowing and
loving, It's sense of duty, its affections and
hopes towards God and heaven is treasure
that makes the weakest man the possessor of
boundless wealth.
But It is not more precious than frail. A
slight. pressure of the brain. a pause of the
breath, and all is over. ''What is your
hfe?" 1t is seven as a vapor." How won
derful, not that so many die, but that any
should so long continue to live.
And how wonderful Gods works toward
US in al the contrivances of his providence
by which We live. All these things have a
soul in them; they have in them Gods
"tb0WgIts" to us-ward. All these gifts take
their highest value and sweetest taste from
this. Let us gratefully own the mercies of
God. And more than this, let US try to do
good as well as receive it. Let US at the be-
ginning Of this new year, kneel down and
ask forgiveness for our innumerable sins,
and then from the heart forgive our enemies,
and when we lie down upon our beds at
night, it will be with the peace of God in
our hearts which passeth understanding.
May this be TO all happy year.
