PASTOR URGES TYTHING PLAN
Rev. c. E. Granger Says Churche.
Need More Generous Support,

That the financial troubles Of the church
today lies not in the lack of ready money
but in the hearts OF those who have
the money, was the statement last night
of Rev. c. Everest Granger. in his sermon
at Gunton-Temple Memorial Church
Ten Cents on the Dollar was the topic
of his sermon. during which he made a
plea for a system Of tithing.
Money has always been necessary in
order to carry on every good work and
churches and charities will not 20 along
Of themselves" he said. There is no
lack OF money. but the trouble is to get
the money where IL belongs.
I'VE are plainly taught in the Scrip
lures that all we have belongs to God;
we are simply stewards, caretakers,j ad-
ministrators. Then why should Gods
work on earth suffer? Our churches
should be rich, not poor. Our charities
should have abundance, not stint. Our
benevolences should be generously sup
ported and they would, IL Gods children
would give as God prospered them. The
need is evident, and the obligation equally
so; the question remains. How much shall
We give? Giving Is a strong test OF dis
cipleship. If we love much We will give
much, but IL We love sparingly, We win
give sparingly."
