Christ, that tho he was rich yet for
your sakes he became poor that We
through his poverty might be rich"
Oh, think of the love and unselfish-
ness of our Lord and Redeemer.
Since he has made, such a sacrifice
for us, ought we ndt TO be willing,
through love for him, to obey the
command he gave while he was vet
;; with the Father.
Mat. 26-11.-"For We have the
poor always with You, but me We
have not always" OF course you
remember the circumstances uMder
which our Savior made this remark
Mat. 19-21.-"Jesus said unto him
if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell
that thou hast and give to the poor,
thou shalt have treasures in Heaven,
and come and follow me-" What Il
blessed privilege we have if we will
only obey his commands, we can fol-
low him in to his Fathers house of
many mansions, where our loved
ones have gone, where sin and sor-
row cannot enter.
Mat. ) and 3.-"Blessed are the
poor in spirit for theirs is the king
dom of Heaven" These were the
first words spoken by our loving Sa-
vior in that heart to heart talk that
he had with the Disciples on the
Mount.
Zech. 70 and 10.-"Thus speaketh
the Lord of Hosts saying, execute
true Judgment, show mercy and have
compassion, every man to his BROTH
er, and Cypress not the widow nor
the fatherless. the stranger nor the
poor, and let none of You imagine
evil against his brother in your
heart"
Prov.-29-7-"The righteous con-
sidereth the cause of the poor but
the wicked regardeth not to know
it."
PROV. 2S-27.-''He that giveth to
the pocr s..i:I nc. lac, 5,:s he .hat
hideth his eyes shall have many a
curse" Is there any doubt in this
statement, is not this why the
Christians have such hard times and
are reduced to poverty just because
God cannot trust them with his
wealth?
Prov. 21-13.-"Who so stopeth his
ears at the cry of the poor, he also
shall cry himself, but shall not be
heard" Do we believe Gods word,
or do we believe that he was only
testing when he made such positive
statements?
Prov. 19-17.-"He that hath pity
upon the poor, lendeth to the Lord,
and that which he hath given will he
pay him again." Have any Of us
anything to put out at interest, If so
why not lend it to the Lord? How
will he pay it back, listen what he
says:
Luke 6-38.-"Give and it shall be
given unto you, good measure, press
ed down, shaken together and run
ming over shall men give unto
your bosom. for with the same meas
ure that ye mete withall, it shall be
measured to you again." These are
the words of our blessed Savior
please notice that there is not a
I more positive ~c-l Il III E@gGsa
language than shall, so let us lend
what we have to the Lord, God wants
chance to prove to us what he
says:
Nal. 3-1O.-"Bring We all the
tithes in the store house, that
there might be meat in mine house,
and prove me now herewith sayeth
the Lord of Hosts, if / shall not
open you the windows of Heaven and
pour out blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive It,"
just read on and see what God says
he will do, if we will only do what he
wants us to do.
Prov. 1928 and 24.-"The poor
useth entreaties but the rich ans
wers roughly, man that hath
