GIVING.

The Baptist Young Peoples union
topic is in II. Corinthians, tx, ell; vii.
1924. A mission service at which the
question of what the Bible teaches
about giving is TO be discussed.
Everything God gives he gives to be
passed on.
The gracious heart has two windows,
one toward God, one toward the world.
Both should be kept ever open-to re-
ceive and to give out again.
Only what we give is really made
our own. What We keep spoils and
vanishes.
God taught his people in the early
days to give Systematically The He
brew must pay his tithes, too. not with
his second-rate possession Ut with
his best. The firstling of l lock, the
creature without blemish, must be Civ
en- to the Lord. To give when they
felt like 1t was not what the Hebrews
were taught. To give, whether they
felt like 1T or not, and to give fixed
proportion, was the teaching they re-
ceived.
If we would have the grace of giving,
we must remember that it is grace,
not a natural impulse. We must not
be discouraged If giving goes against
the grain. The Lord loveth a cheerful
giver, but he appreciates the gift, too.
that is preceded by a struggle of will
with unwillingness. II honor Thomas
highly" said an old friend once of a
large giver to a mission cause, be
cause cloSeneSS is in his blood, and he
naturally hates to give dollar to any
thing, yet he overcomes and gives
more every year." Grace had to over
come nature, in Thomas case; but it
conquered. nevertheless.

oct 1-3 1929, Luther and Zwingli,
Win others of both parties, met for
conference and discussion. The debate
centered around the question of the
sacramento Presence. Luther wrote
Ih1s Is My Body in Latin on the
taoie and demanded that all true
CHRISTIANS must submit to the doctrine
taught by those words, because they
are Christs. Zwingli refused, appeal
ing to philosophy and human reason.
HIS argument betrayed the fact that
ne did not give the Word supreme place
In his teaching, which Luther did. This
failure introduced an. element of error
INTO all his other doctrines, though for
the sake of policyshe professed to agree
with Luther On all other doctrinal
points except this one
Luther held firmly to the principle
that the church's business is to teach

would itself accomplish all needed re-

CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The Epworth league topic for Oct.
20 is a question of vast Importance.
that of civil government. Whatever
Its form, whether monarchy, aristoc-
racy or democracy, security and per-
manence can be obtained only as those
who rule, discover and put in operation
the eternal principles Of justice, truth
and Righteousness. Napoleon Bona
parte may declare that God is on the
side Of the strongest battalions. He
may even be confident that he has the
strongest and is invincible. ST. Hell
ena will give him time for reflection
on the causes of Waterloo
Well did Alexander Hamilton say:
"The love and fear of God are indeed
the keystone of the political arch" No
state can long stand which is rotten
within. This truth is of more vital
Importance to our own nation possibly
than to most others at the present time.
We are attempting government by the
people as a whole. But government is
both science and an art built upon
science. Intelligence and integrity are
indispensable requisites for those who
rule. Omit either and that state or
nation is doomed. Riches and strength
may postpone it's fall for a time, but
its doom is sealed.
Let greed Of power or money con-
troll and graft" be tolerated, and the
land shall reel under the shame of
Minneapolis, the shame of ST. Louis,
the shame of bossism and public office
used for private gain. Then vice and
crime will be met by lynchings, while
mob violence and anarchy hold carni-
val.
Our safety lies wholly in rigid self
control under the laws of God in right
eousness. Our duty is to be pure in
politics and demand purity in our Off
Gals in the administration of civic
government.
He that ruleth over men must be
just, ruling in the fear of God"
Stable government can find no other
base than this.

THE BLEssEDNEss OF FORGIVE
NESS.

The international Sunday school les
son for Oct % is Psalm xxi. The
connection between this lesson and
those that have preceded it is plain,
though it is one of thought rather than
of historical incident. Our last lesson
included the story of David's sin and
repentance, and to impress it's lessons
more strongly upon us, the marvellous
prayer of the broken heart in the fifty
first psalm. From that study of the
experience of one who had sinned and
repented we go on to this study of the
bleSsedneSS of forgiveness and the way
in which one may find it.
IN the first and second verses there
are three words for sin, and while
in general synonymous, each adds a
shade of meaning not in the others.
Transgression: "A breaking loose from
God" disregarding His will Sin: This
word in the original suggests a missing
of the mark-for sin is a terrible blum
der and failure as we'll as terrible
wrong. Iniquity: A distortion or per-
vision. A fine face, distorted, becomes
hideous and a good thing perverted
may become the worst of bad things.
Whose sin is covered: The figure sug-
gests that sin is something horrible
to look upon, and that God mereifully
draws the veil over it. Imputeth not
iniquity: Does not charge his sin
against him. No guile: No insincerity;
no pretending.
In verses to 5 is noted: When I
kept silence: Sullenly trying to tg-
more his sin. My bones wasted away:
No man can defy his conscience with
impunity. This is a leaf from the per-
sonal experience of the psalmist, and
we know what he means from our own
personal experience. Thy hand was
heavy upon me: The hand OF con-

thousand hills, the silver and the gold.
And of all of these that man possesses
he does so not in his own right but as
steward of God, and God expects us
to wisely exercise that stewardship and
especially, it would seem to US, in re-
lation to missions. Missions, instead
of being the last thing we give to,
should be the first and most important.
Every church that can do so should
have its own home and foreign mis-
sionary on the field, and this could be
done If the people would give system
atically as God gives to them.
Giving to missions should be preced-
ed by giving of ourselves to Christ.
This the Macedonians did. First they
gave their own selves unto the Lord"
If we believe that Christ can save the
heather we must also believe that He
can save us.
The example of others should stimu-
late us to missionary giving. We are
exhorted to provoke one another to
good works" Paul appealed to the
Corinthians on the ground of what
Macedonia had done, and there is no
reason why one church and one Chris
tan should not by example stimulate
others to missionary giving Many in
d1viduals give literally, Systematically
and proportionately to missions. If you
are not among the number, why should
you not be stimulated to initiate their
example?
The example of Christ should stimu-
late us to missionary giving. "Yr
know" says Paul to the Corinthians,
''the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
how that, though He was rich, yet for
your sakes He became poor that We
through his poverty might become
rich" Christ gave Himself as the
worlds missionary. Can we hold back
out little when the Master gave His
all?

Old farmers who plodded the distance
AS pilgrims their shrines to revere:
At the shabby old store at the corners
Ihey met and they entered the door
For the Mecca of all these old cronies
was the stove in the old village store
1t was guiltless of beauty or polish.
And its door was unskillfully hung.
But they made a glad circle around it,
And the genial warmth loosened each
tongue;
And they talked of the crops and the
weather.

And the smoke from their pipes as 1t
blended
Gave tinge to the whole atmosphere
Full many the tales they related,
And wondrous the yarns they spun,
And doubtful the facts that they stated,
And harmless the wit and the fun;
But If. ever discussion grew heated
1t was without tumult or din,
And stAey gave their respectful attention
When customer CHANGED to come in.
When. the evening was spent and the
hour
For the time of their parting had come,
They raped from their pipes the warm
ashes
And reluctantly started for home;
Agreeing to meet on the morrow,
When the day with its labor was DER.
For the Mecca of all the old cronies
Was the stove in the old village store.
