pastor one Sunday morning. did
you notice the new diamond ring /
bought for myself this week? 90
"Yes," was the pastors answer. AS
he said it, he lost none of his GUS
tomary urbanity of manner, but
there was a biting sarcasm in his
voice as he continued, II couldn't
help seeing it, for it spoke SO brill
liantly to me of the dollars it cost
that | hardly saw the dime you
dropped into the Offering plate"
But the liberal giver-how diff
ferent he is! He has learned the
joy of sharing, and each time he
finds it easier to give again and
after a while giving becomes one
of the happiest privileges of his
life. With this in mind turn to a
tract published by Henry Seymour
Brown. He writes:
81 received many appeals for
money. Every mail brought new
ones They got on my nerves. AL
most all of them went into the
waste basket. And there was sAy
trouble. l answered most of them
with nothing but complaint or
an expletive. What if / got into
the game and tried to answer with
a really cheerful gift of service or
money or both?
$50 | tried it. And then, instead
of turning down an appeal for
money! geve 1t some real thought
and then gave III some real money,
not much but sosae-and instead of
irritation | felt a glow of glad
ness. l asked ten men for money
for another good cause. To my sur
prise it was real fun. Nobody
turned me down, and / made more
friends and had more real fellow
ship than had been mine for many
day. AS cheerfully as / gave my
services, they seemed to give me
their money, and, better than all,
their friendship. Then it dawned
on me that the Lord is not the only
one who loves cheerful giver,
whether the gift is money or Just
calling on ten or twelve people and
asking them to get into a good
game by helping a good cause
along. And then / felt awfully
small for taking credit for q few
hours of time or few dollars Civ
en- because all the time I heard
Joyce Kilmer before wayside
cross in France saying:
Lord, Thou hast given more for
me,
Than all the hosts Of land or
sea;
Then help me render back again
The millioneth of Thy gifts.
Amen.
