WINNERS.

The feeling of ingratitude is deeply seated
in the human heart. God bestows his bles
sings upon us with liberal hand. Still,
there are few of US that are satisfied. 1t
would seem, men being the judges, that God
is defective in judgment Not single day
passes away but some one of Adams race
finds fault with some act of the Governor of
the World. 1t would be difficult thing to
6nd human being who is perfectly satisfied
with the way in which God manages the af
fairs of the world. 20 ye of little faith"
may be appropriately said concerning all Of
US.
This complaining is not restricted tc tenn
poral affairs. Professed Christians often for
get themselves, and speak unadvisedly re.
specting the work Of God. Quite number
of professed followers of the Lamb of God,
are constantly complaining that the world is
growing worse instead Of better. This is not
true, and it manifests only weak faith to
say so. There are more genuine Christians in
the world to-day, than ever were before. The
church of the living God is not about to die
out. In fact, its daily spread is the most won
derful thing recorded on the pages Of history.
What is the use of continually whining about
what has no real existencef It is to be de.
plored that so many will not have Jesus to
rule over them; but it is subject of great
Joy, that, every day, multitudes are throwing
down the arms of their rebellion and enlist
ing under the banner of the cross Those
who take scriptural view Of the Kingdom
of Jesus Christ, never think of overthrow.
The enemy may apparently come off victor in
some little skirmishes, but not day passes
without a signal victory for the Son Of
God.
The evidences of the progress of Christ's
kingdom are manifest to all who will see them.
Satan is met on every field where he marshals
his forces, and driven away, if not subdued
in spirit, and despoiled of bis armor. Why
should the followers Of Jesus complain as il
the day was about to be lost?

GIVING TO THE LORD.

Many do not seem to understand how it is
that salvation is free, and yet they are called
upon to give of their substance for the support
of the gospel. This seems to be the Scripture
plan of salvation. Jesus Christ is the Lamb
of God which taketh away the sin Of the
world. 1t costs US nothing to have sin re-
moved. Christ bore it in his own body. He,
as our surety, paid the debt. Hence it is
strictly true that salvation is free, so far as
we are concerned, for it costs US nothing. We
are bought with the blood of Jesus. The ap
plcation of this redemption is the work Of the
Holy Spirit. 1t costs US nothing to be re-
deemed neither does it cost anything to be
quickened into life. The Holy Spirit, howev.
er, sees fit to make us his co-laborers. Paul
must plant and Apollos must water. Such is
the plan chosen by an All-wise God for the
spread of the gospel. All then that is meant
by giving to the Lord, is acting as co laborer
with the Holy Spirit and under his direction,
in making an application of the redemption
purchased by Jesus Christ.
Giving to the Lord is one of the many tests
of piety. An unconverted man may contrib
ute Of his substance for the spread of the gos.
pei; but such an individual is prompted by
mercenary motives. The true child of God
gives from sense of duty, feeling at the same
time that it is a great privilege to be permitted
to give. In this duty of giving to the Lord,
several things must be observed.
LIST. We must examine into the cause which
we are called upon to support. Giving to
every cause that claims to be religious
cause, is not giving to the Lord.
I'd. We must give willingly. Whatever
we do in this way, must be in the nature
of free-will Offering.
Sd. We must give for the good Of others
and not for our own good. We may give
literally to some religious cause, when the
motives which prompted us was nothing but
the veriest sel6shness.
4th. We must give literally. Our gifts
most not be the halt or the blind. 1t must
not be what we do not prize-what we would
throw away-the refuse. Our gifts to the
Lord must be the best we have, or as good as
we have. In no other way can we show our
love for the Lords cause.
