Among the Kongo tribes fetishism
takes the place OF religion. A fetish Is
not an idol, nor the symbol OF a god. 1t
is something-and It may be almost
abode of some unknown power which
can help or harm Its owner. Some
fetishes are used in sickness. and many
are worn on the person to protect the
danger: there are also fetish trees ana

More or less connected with fetishism
are many cruel rites and practices.

promote friendship between China and

were unintentionally drawn into the

Results Of Liberality

Paul brings his message concerning
giving to a close by pointing out the
religious results of their liberality
upon the Jewish Christians The gen.
erous giving would not only supply the
needs of their poor brethren in Judea,
but II would also result in changing r
their spirit. In two directions, at
least. their religious life would be re-
vealed: First, by Thanksgiving to God
for the faith of the gentiies, who had
proved their religion by their deeds Of
love. Their liberality would not only
be considered as in answer to their
prayer for help, but 1t would also be
pers power to redeem the heather and
transform them into the likeness Of
God.
Another result of their collection
to pray for their generous benefactors.
They could never recall their gentle
brethren again without feelings of
gratitude and a desire for closer fel-
lowship. America has paved the way
for peace by her generous giving to
the poor among the warning nations
and the prisoners held by them. The
marvellous outpouring Of loving SYM
pathy and supplies in the hour Of need
is proving to the nations Of the world
in love and labor for the relief Of
the poor among all nations OF men.
The collections and work of the Red
Cross among the sufferers in the
armies of the European powers have
emphasized the spirit of brotherhood
that when deepened into a spiritual,
religious tie will prevent further wars
among nations.
Paul understood the weakness of
humanity. SO he closed by giving credit
to God for their generous giving. He
| considered their liberality to be the
result Of Gods great gift Of salvation.
The center of mems devotion, duty and
destiny. Paul taught. was Christ and

Reasons for Liberality.

In his former epistle. Paul had point
ed out to the members of the Corin-
THAN church the personal obligation
resting upon every member of the body
of Christ 10 contribute regularly and
systematically by giving weekly in
proportion to the prosperity which God
had granted to each of them individ-
ually. In the preceding chapter he had
assigned the example of the generosity
OF the poverty ty-stricken Macedonians
and OF the Lord Jesus as reasons why
they should meet this test of their
Christian faith in a spirit of lfberality.
Paul sought to place the giving for
the relief OF their brethren upon a
spiritual basis and to make II an act
OF worship. The love Of money is the
root of ali evil, and the only way to
eradicate It's power from the average
Christian life is 70 recognize the neces-
sity OF all Christian contributions being
devotional rather than either medicant
or commercial. Unless the giver heeds

Jehovah the glory due unto his name !.
bring Offering. and come into his
courts" his giving will not be in ac-
cordance with Gods principles. pur-
pose and pleasing to His will.
Many churches are languishing today
because they have neglected to follow
the principles for giving laid down by
PAUL They have not provided the
proper safeguards for the protection Of
the Lords treasury. as he did by his
commission that took charge of the
gifts and proved the disinterestedness
of the apostle in seeking a large gift
from the brethren. While Paul insist
ed upon each member giving voluntarily,
as God had prospered them. believing
that their righteousness would result
