Lose Touch with Humanity.

Men who, because they have no sys-
tematic rule of benevolence, must
guard themselves from doing too
much, on that very account never
hear-for they dare not listen-what
fine things men are doing for men in
the world; what heart-touching wants
other men suffer which a little money
would supply. And the consequence
is that one by one they lose all the
links of connection which tie them
up close with human kind. They get
to living wholly inside themselves.
And especially they always have
to watch against getting interested in
big causes. Thus, for instance, thes
carefully avoid mission sermons. II
they once got caught with the mis-.
sion idea, there is no telling where It
might lead them.
And that is the way the hardfists
are produced. They are just the
towards OF humanity who are scared
at what It might cost to live In real

Definite Rule a Benefit.

That puzzle is one which increases
as the causes of worthy benevolence
multiply in the church and in the
world of good will. Every day a man
who has not adopted a definite rule of
1enevolence is obliged to take up
anew the question whether he can "af-
lord" to aid such and such a cause.
To be honest with each call that
ZONES to him, he has to bring to the
surface every time the fundamental
question of what proportion of his
means he ought to send out into the
big world to do good, and what pro-
portion it is his duty to keep in hand
for the discharge of obligations pri-
vate to himself and his family.
To go through that question con-
scientiously every time an appeal
reaches him for church, missions or
charity, must be terribly wearing to
any man who has even the dimmest
notion of duty wrapped up in his be-
nevolences.
But he can save all the wear and
tear if he will. Just let him settle the
;roblem by one sweeping decision. Let
'im set a proportion of his income
which shall regularly go out to these
broader uses.
That Is to say, let him become a syg-
tematic, determined tither-fxing nat
urally his proportion of benevolent
funds according to Biblical precedent
not lower than one-tenth.

Demands Of Duty Decided.

Then his puzzle Is over as far as de-
Gliding the demands of duty in giving
and keeping. What remains is simply
the task of a distributing administra-
tor-determining the relative claims
of approved benevolences on the total
fund available in his hands.
Occasionally, to be sure, there will
come the sweep of some great emer-
gency which will overleap his system
as every good system should be sub
ject to emergency modification. And
of course, when a mans income in
creases without corresponding charges
against it, he ought to consider
the increase of his ten per cent.
ratio. But for the ordinary daily run
of life the tither has a bedrock ad-
justment of the right relation between
generosity and thrift, and he can live
on it with easy conscience.
BY adopting the rule of the 1.-THE,
a man is defended also from degenera-
ton of his character into selfishness
and stinginess.
1t is almost ludicrous but altogether
pathetic to see how much pains men
spend in lodging the peril of hearing
about human needs that might require
money. They are MORALLY afraid that
in an unguarded moment some adroit
solicitor by fearful appeal will get
them to give something they cant
afford"
Now the pity of it is not that this
