To such person or persons, the fol-
lowing statistics regarding the growth
of the Protestant churches Of Rich
mond are recoi. mended for careful
and thoughtful study.
These statistics show what the va
rious denominations gave in the year
1908 TO current expenses. home and
foreign missions and also what the
denominations gave TO the same
causes in the year 1918.
Ii will be noted that only one de-
nomination increased in its henev-
o!ent causes more than ii did in its
current expenses. this increase being
in its home missionary work, When
a church has reached that point Of
liberalty that it spends as much on
others as 1t does on itself. then that
church is indeed doing a greater work
than the one that spends most of its
money on its own maintenance. There
are only six churches In the city OF
Richmond that contributed more
money during the year 1913 to-home
and foreign missions than they did
to local church expenses.
In the last five years the total con-
tributions of the Richmond churches
have increased s203,303.65 or this
increase. S119,3o2.72, went to current
expenses. or 81 per cent of the total
increase. $67.38S.63 went to home

increase. $27,2l2.30 went to for
eign missions, or IL, per cent OF the
total increase. BY these facts one

birds that fed and sang around his house. His
small sister seeing what he had done with
sobbing heart took the grievance to her mother.
Promptly the mother in tender tone, told the
child to ask her brother to stop catching the
birds and to take the matter to the Lord in
prayer. Promising her mother that she would
follow the advice the child walked away with

and satisfaction. The mother promptly asked
the child Il she had acted upon her advice.

THE HORSES PRAYER
To Thee, My Master,
Offer Ny PRAYER

Feed me, water and care for
me; when the days work is
done, provide me with shelter,
a clean, dry bed and a stall
wide enough for me to lie down
in comfort.
Talk to me; your voice often
means as much to me as the
reins. Pet me sometimes, that
| may serve you the more glad
ly and learn to love you. Do
not jerk the ,eins, and do not
whip me when going up hill
Never strike, beat or kick me
and if | fail to do your bidding,
see if something is rot wrong
with my harness, collar or feet.
Examine my teeth when do
not eat. may have an ulcer
ated tooth, and that is very
painful. Do not tie my head
in an unnatural position, or
take away my best defense
against flies and mosquitoes by
cutting eff my tail.
And finally, O My Master,
when my useful strength is
gone, do not turn me out to
starve or freeza, or sell me to
some cruel owner, to be slowly
tortured and starved to death;
but do thou, My Master, take
my life in the kindest way and
your God will reward you here
and hereafter.
You will not consider me ir-
reverent If FL ask this in the
name of Him who was born in
a stable. Amen.
