I do mot know that the prodigal in
Scripture would ever have been re-
clsimed had he not given up his idle
habits and gone to feeding swine for o
living. "Go to the ant, thou sluggsrd;
consider her ways and be wise, which,
having no guide, overseer or ruler, pro-
videth her meat In thesummer and gath
ereth her food in the harvest" The
devil does not 90 often attack the man
who Is busy with the pen, and the book,
and the trowel, and the saw, and the
hammer. He Is afraid Of those weapons.
But woe to the man whom this roaring
lion meets with his hands in his pockets.
Do not demand that your toll always
'be elegant and cleanly and refined.
There Il certain amount OF drudgery
through which We must all pass, what

& with all Of us. God passed on us the

ToPfc.-willing offerings to God. Ez. 1. 4, 8:
III Cor. wifi. 5, II.
The effect Of an Offering depends. en-
tirely upon the spirit Of the Offering.
If a gifS, rs forced upon us, given be-
grudgin, y, or even out of sense of duty,
the highest effect is not obtained. But
If given willingly, because of love and
gratitude, even though it be Of little
value in itself, it is joyfully received.
As with man, so with God. Hence will
ing offerings may very profitably occupy
our thoughts this first week of the new
year.
1. Willing offerings exemplified (Ez.
i,4,6. The Israelites are captives in
Babylon under the rule Of Cyrus. God
instructs Cyrus to rebuild the city and
temple OF Jerusalem. Cyrus gives the
people freedom to return and helps
them financially. He issues decree
that if any are unable to go because Of
want of means the people of his king
dom are to help them. and besides TO
make free will offering to the house of
J God at Jerusalem, and the people will
ingly and gladly obeyed his decree be-
cause Of personal. love to the-people of
God and because they knew it would
please their king. This is noble ex-
ample Of willing giving. Cyrus will
ingly gave freedom to people, means
to return home and gifts to rebuild their
city and temple when they did return
home. 1t is an example worthy Of our
imitation. The people gave willingly
because it pleased their king. So we
should give for it will please our heavenly
king. The example Of Cyrus strikingly
calls to mind Gods free and willing gift
Of his Son to mankind, and with him q
home prepared for all who would accept
! him and it. Let us initiate such noble
examples.
2. Willing offerings should first of all
include the Offering Of ourselves U
Cor. viii, %. In urging the Corinthians
10 give literally. Paul cites them the
example Of the churches of Macedonia,
the, people Of which First gave their
ewn selves unto the Lord, and unto US
by the will of God" This Is another
example worthy Of our imitation. First
Of all, this year we should give our
selves to the Lord. In 40 doing we will
! only be giving to him what he has
bought with great price. In so doing
we win prepare, the way for making
other offerings. ~
s. Willing offerings are acceptable to
God. II Cor. viii, ~, "If there first be
. willing mind II is accepted according
to that 3 man hath and not according to
that he hath not" ''The Lord loveth o
cheerful giver." He also accepts his
gift Acceptance depends not so much
upon the amount given as uponthe spirit
In which It sgiven. Give willingly ac-
cording to your means, and the Lord will
bless the giver, the gift and the person
OF cause to which given.
