He requires a settlement EACH

His giving should be in proportion TO
his prosperity.

He requires that His stewards
shall settle with Him voluntarily.

TO money. but to our time. talents and
strength How much time We all

teaching in sunday schools. etc. How
We might spend more time In visiting

More time spent in caring for the un-
fortunate. more time in fashioning
garments for the half clad children.
