 No matter how literally man gives to the church, he gets far more than he pays for, and the man who gives nothing to the church pauper- izes himself because he is willing to take the very best and most valuable things without any recognition of the source from which they come.
 No man is free from this obligation. There may be greater willingness upon the part of the man who is a member of the church, but the obligation rests equally upon all, whether mem bers or not.
 The church with its results and benefits be- longs to every one whether he belongs to the church or not, and whenever the church has need of greater facilities in order that these results and benefits may be increased that need should be met
 The church is not humiliated by making the need known, nor by giving individuals the op- portunity to meet the need.
 No man is imposed upon by the claims and ap peals of the church.
 Every man should so recognize his obliga- tions to the church and so meet them that many of the methods to which the church is now driven would never be necessary.

adventure because he had just abscond-

Havana and the Orinoco sounded to
him like haven.
We hired a few negroes. Our real
guides we would pick up at Angos-
tura. One day while waiting for the
stores to be packed l took my partner
out to show him what an orchid was.
Near the Pitch lake l saw one in
q tree and ordered one of the negro
boys to shin up and get it. He would

tree, be declared. He was afraid

1t was insubordination before the

and, whining, trembling. he went up
the trunk. He was detaching the or
child from where it clung when a
thing like a spear, as black as his own
skin, suddenly struck at the boy's 8
wrist. He screamed with terror and.
toppling down, writhed with pain. He
died, and l felt gloom settle on my
spirits.
'Well, at Angostura We took RATS

guide died Of fever; then another was
bitten by poisonous insects. One fell

needed meat, and the skin was worth

in curiosity, we went out and plugged

things out-the bones and the cotton
clothes Of the guide this cannibal rep
tile had swallowed. The very knot
was still in his sarong. Oh. don't
squirm. This is orchid hunting.
we had three guides left at the
end of the second month, when, pad
ding along one day where the vines
overreached and let snaky tendrils

down that he wanted only hair cut
