By DIR. ALVIN Y. BELL

Pauls Second Epistle to the
Corinthians is n most practical
handbook for Christian workers. Our
lesson deals with Chapters : and
.. in which we have the most sane
and spiritual guiding principles
ever enumerated for the raising Of
church finances.
The first Of these guiding rrin-
ciples for Christian giving is that
giving is a grace: "The grace Of
God bestowed on the churches OF
Macedonia: how that in a reat trial
Of affliction the abundance of their
JOY and their deep poverty aboundcd
unto the riches Of their liberality."
These Macedonian Christians needed
no high pressure campaign TO in
duce them 10 give toward the "Near
East Relief Fund" Of that day for
their starving fellow believers in
Judea. They required only to know
Of the need ard "to their power,
yea and beyond their power. they
were willing of themselves, araying
us with much entreaty that we would
receive the gift. and take upon Is
the fellowship Of the ministering to
the saints" So. giving, now as
then, depends not upon how much
gold one has. but upon how much
grace he has. Paul's word 20 us, as
70 the Corinthians is. "Sec that We
abound in this grace also"
Giving the Acid Test Of Love
Paul would tolerate no scheme OF
coersion in the matter Of church III
nance. He levied no dues" ard
assigned no quotas" or "appor-
tionments." He left il up 10 each
Christian TO prove his love to Christ
by his gifts to the needy: Il speak
not by commandant. but-to prove
the sincerity of your love-" Folks
who first give their " selves TO
the Lord will not need bazaars and
oyster suppers. etc. 10 inveigle
them into giving TO the Lords work.
The Cross and Giving
In all this treatise on church IL
nance Paul never gets out Of sight
Of the cross as the great dynamic
Of all true giving: ""For ye know
the grace Of our Lord Jesus Christ.
that. though he was rich. vet for
your sakes he became poor. that ye
through his poverty might be rich.'
The cross must ever be rot Only the
pattern for our giving. but precept
and the power. IL has been the
fountain head Of the worlds richest

thropy for the past nineteen hum
dred years. Paul echoes the spirit
or Christ's commentator Of the
widows mite when he says: IF
there be first a willing mind it is
acceptable according "a that a man
hath, and not according 70 that he
hath not"
A Natural Law in the Realm
of Giving
Paul applies natures law Of SOW
ing and reaping to this realm Of
giving when he says: "He which
soweth sparingly shall reap s%paring-
~: and he which soweth bountifuliy
shall reap also bountifully. Every
man according az he purposeth IN
his heart. so let him give; not
grudgingy. or Of necessity: for Cor
love.h a cheerful giver.r The word
Paul used here for cheerful is
"hilaros" from which we derive our
word hilarious" Most Of us could
stand a bit more Of this Pauline
"hilarity" in our giving to the
church and the philanthropic cause
Of religion associated with OF
growing out OF the church.
Paul closes the section Of this
letter dealing with Christian giving
by returning where he began. to
the headquarters Of all true giving,
as he shouts exaultantly: Thanks
be TO God for his unspeakable
gift"

President Coolidge's recent proclamation referred 10
the interesting fact that cities. towns and farming
communities engaged in a constructive campaign to
inculcate sound principles Of fire prevention in the
minds Of thinking inhabitants. arc accomplishing
highly desirable and satisfactory results but he aptly
urged the need Of translsting this effort into further
remedial action.
This appeal cannot be too strongly stressed. 9e-
districts is far greater than would prevail if concerted
and continuous activity we're directed against the haz-
ard. Last year fires on farms and in rural districts
took a toll Of $500 lives, and caused approximately
$3.50, 10000 damage to property. more than 80 per
cent Of the s475,00o, 900 loss charged against fire in the
entire United States. Although there has been a sub
lars lost per 500 insured. statistics indicate that farm
barns and rural dwellings are appearing in the lists Of
larger losses more frequently than heretofore.
Spontaneous ignition Of hay and other agricultural
products, lightning. defective chimneys and flues, care
less use Of matches and smoking. combustible roofs
careless use and storage of gasoline and kerosene. and
faulty wiring installations and improper use Of cleo
trical appliances, are the seven principal causes of
farm fires and constitute hazards which must be
COPIED with in an energetic manner. Through its work
on farm fire prevention and protection. the department
stands ready to be Of every possible service in this
important field.
Farm fire losses are a direct challenge TO everyone
interested in the conservation of the nations wealth
and resources, and il behooves every individual con-
cerned TO do his utmost, throughout the entire year. IN
reducing this fire waste. The unstinting cooperation
Of the rural population in this worthwhile movement Is
necessary and strongly urged.
