When the singer finished the talk

The Xxx man yawned long and au-

Faithful Stewardship.

One of the plainest duties of stew,
ardship is that we bring, conscience
and deliberate consideration to bear
upon our administration of this
worlds goods. We are not faithful
stewards if we spend according to
our own whim and fancy, and let
charity" depend, as it so often does,
on little better than accident or habit.
We are stewards in regard to what
we spend on ourselves and our fami-
lies, as we'll as in what we spend for
purposes beyond ourselves; our per-
sonal and domestic expenditure, our
savings and our gifts, and the proper
ton between them should all equally
pass. under the inspection Of delib-
crate conscience. If that were once
thoroughly understood and practised
by us, we should be very different
people, and there would be very diff
ferent results from many an appeal
that is made to us. Stewardship
means deliberation, and intelligent
consideration, and conscientious dis
posal and administration as OF
fund that is not mine, but is put into
my hand.-The Rev. Alexander Nc
Laren.
