Excuses

excuse maker. And ne seems
to think that if he offers All
excuse. that should be the end
of all controversy. No one
should question it. 1t annoys,
and even angers, to tear the
veil off his excuse-making,
and expose HIM. He wants his
excuses accepted without a
word. But as men Of candor,
DESTROYS of beng right. can we
afford to deceive ourselves with
excuses" and hurt and hin der
every good thing?

and enjoy a good sermon, for
before it is over they call for
money! money! That is the
meanest, and weakest, and most
unmanly excuse Of them all. !
know of, and you know no
average family that is not in
daily. constant need Of some
thing to add 10 the efficiency
and comfort. Needs are never
completely supplied. Indeed,
we do not expect to finish sup
plying our family with every
thing they need. The day we
die there viii be certain things
needed in the family. Now our
church is keeping house for the
Lord. That is the very pur-
pose Of the church. To keep
house properly many things are
needed. the larger the keeping
the more is needed How can
a man hope 20 complets supplies
for keeping the Lords house,
when he calculates on never ac-
complishing that thing for his
own? Again, our church is
doing business for the Lord.
Il is the only business house that
the Lord has in the community.
If one is to do business he must
have supplies. No man can sell
goods unless he has the goods.
In this day no man does real
business who cannot deliver the
goods. Neither can, or will, your
church unless she has the
necessary supplies, and has the
reputation of delivering the
goods. The church which gets the
reputation for doing nothing will
find that the way of the trans
gressor is hard. And how shall
supplies and equipment be had
except the members of the
firm put up?" To do business
requires capital. The larger the
business done the more capital
required. Now then, the very
fact that your church Is always
I in need of money may be, and
I is, proof that your church is
doing business. And when you
grumble because of the con-
slant need of. and call for money
you argue that the church should
I not do business. Well. in the
name of all that is holy. what
should the church do? Quit? Go
out of business? Did ever a
member of business firm argue
that way? This excuse shows
two things: First. the maker
of it is not informed Of the rea-
son of church, the purposes
for 1t. and the ways and means
!, for It's maintenance. The sec
ond. that he is not sufficiently
interested in the Lords work to
bear even his legitimate pro-
portion of the burden. II there
were never any need of put
ting up" for our church it would
be proof that nothing is being
done in church work. And that
would be reason for genuine
dissatisfaction. Both God and
!. men would kick" then. Now,
