| must be Just before generous.
Certainly, but if you mean that the
claims Of the church come from generosi
" alone, you are greatly mistaken. Debt
to fellow man may have aSreaterl legal
but not a greater moral, obligation than
a debt to Christ through his church
The church is not so much obliged to you
as you are to it; its gifts to you are in
finitely more valuable than yours to it
a legal debt to man is inferior to he debt
owed to the church of Christ. Many
persons, when feeling compelled to con
troll expense, begin at the church, and
reduce their expenses more there than
any where else. If church members were
only more generous to their church, al
the work of the church would be done
and look to it, what is given to the LORD
always comes back in some way. What
nc lendeth unto the Lord, it shall be paid
