Christian Endeavor Societies were

the church. There is nothing more
needed for the practical working Of the
church. both at home and abroad, than
the cultivation OF the spirit Of giving.
This is because true Christianity Is not
a selfish system Of receiving but a
system Of generous givng-the givire
OF the heart first of an. and then, as
a result. the giving Of time and strength
and influence and money. Our money

him; il comes from Christ.
The Apostle Paul gives most definite
and direct instruction concerning Civ

great generosity he gives us in Cor
