Who ever heard of a church that
pined away and perished because il
gave too much toward benevolences?
No such case can be found. The col

ers. Not a whit less clearly has II
been proved in the spiritual realm.
A church once being in debt voted
to turn all its contributions toward
the liquidation OF their Indebtedness
until the whole was wiped out. But
the contributions grew smaller, but
the debt did not decrease. Afterward
wiser counsels prevailed. They de-
termined to do their duty by all the
causes that had legitimate claim upon
them. Then they prospered. The debt
was liquidated, the mortgage burned,
and a jubilee of rejoicing was enjoyed.
God blessed them as never before.
One time the Massachusetts Legis.
lature was discussing a proposition to
grant an act Of incorporation to a mis-.
sionary society. With more wit than
judgment certain member objected
on the ground that 1t was not wise to
export religion when we had none to
spare. Readily came the sound an.
swer that religion is a commodity OF
which the more we exported the more
We had left. This has been our ex

turned streams of material wealth
into their Golfers. Mission work in
distant mission fields improves the
spiritual strength and efficiency Of

rived our word hilarious" Give with

In Morton Chapel Methodist Episcopal

Children's day was observed at the
