Competitive Free-wm offerings.


LINCOLN, Nov. 3-To the Editor OF
The Bee: A Lincoln paper expresses
thought that came to me when 1 was
attending the Sunday meetings in Omaha
better than can express 1t. 1t says
this:
IF II is true that the Sunday free
will offering was stimulated by appeals
to Omaha to make its donation as big
as others of the size have made theirs,
It was not free giving, but an unreligious
pride that functioned there. Homer was
happy to have a hundred cities compete
for the honor Of being his birthplace.
But to have a lot of cities engage in
rivalry to see which can give one the
most money is some luck also. That,
however, is not much Of a test of spirit
ual enthusiasm"
Competition is the life of trade and
evidently also of religious revivals. l. b.
