supplies this needed fat of the right kind in the right quantity and in the form already partly digested As a result all the organs and tissues take on activity co iriiU Before considering any system for our giving to God let remember that God Himself is the real owner of everything Ho created all things even man himself and without Him wow not anything that made so all belong to Him We are only steward intrusted with some of Gods the little timo wo live upon the earth What wo now have belonged to someone before us and will to someone else after us and bye we must appear be fore our Master to give an account of our stewardship- Then what christians want to do is to make a right uso of what has been placed in our hands question is How arc we to do this First let us study what Gods word says it for word is to be a lamp unto and a light unto our path If we go back to the time of Cain and Abel wo find that they brought offerings unto the Lord In Genesis 14 gave tithes that is a tenth part of all his goods Jacob tho grandson of in his vow at Bethel promised the Lord onetenth of all that God would give him Jacob was about fifteen of age when his grandfather died and it is quite probable that he knew of bis practice We see here tho effect of example and early training AH through the old Testament history the Israelites were obliged to set apart onetenth of all their increase for the Lords service This they did willing ly It was all brought into the treasury it did not have to be col lected from them Then in the new Testament the Scribes and we are apt to look upon an very low in spiritual strength gave tithes of all they possessed Some may say this has reference to the old dispensation only but Jesus came not to destroy the law but to fulfill and in speaking of the tithes of the Scribes and He said This ought ye to have done and not to have left the other undone If Christians now adopted the plan of giving a tenth of their income the church would scarcely know what to do with the money In Now Testament the matter of giving is clearer and more free than in the old Saint Paul in writ ing to the church at Corinth says Upon the first day of the week everyone of you lay by him in store as God hath prospered him that there lw no gatherings when I come This was not intended for the at Corinth for Saint Paul said he had already given the same order to the church at It is probable it was given to all the churches Notice that this comes to us not as an exhortation or clothed in the form of a parable but a plain clear command as much to us now a to the churches then Let every one of you lay by him in store One may say I am too poor to give but does not the gospel come to the poor with all its privileges ad vantages and blessings In Mark 12 we have an account of the poor widow who cast her farthing into the treasury and the loving Saviour the friend of the poor commends her for doing it thus forever establishing it as a privi lege for the poor to cast into the treasury of the Lord We are not asked to give what we have not hut a I just proportion of what we have no matter how small amount may be We may not get any praise from men but the everwatchful eye in heaven will keep it in remembrance At the first glance it might be thought that the plan of giving systematically would give a good deal of trouble in earring out hut the re- is the fact especially in cases of those having a weekly or monthly in come As soon as money is received lay aside ft certain amount whatever proportion you have prayerfully de cided to give Giving in this way is never troubled with the thought as to whether they can give to such and such a cause money is there and it is now our duty simply to dis tribute it according to the best- of our judgment This saves nil trouble about collectors and collection and from being a disagreeable duty it becomes a privilege The common difficulty with us is we do not take out or lay aside the Lords portion first but sup ply nil our own wants real or imagi nary first and if thcie is anything we often give it rather grudgingly to the Lord mid often there is nothing at all loft to be given even in that way Then if this is a command to us and we know it why not begin to act at once for the servant who the will of the Master and it not shall bo with many stripes We may keep the whole tentenths that we have been intrusted with but our spiritual natures will as surely suffer for it as our bodies would if we worked the whole seven days and did not take out the day of rest Then let us remember that God gives to us systematically if He did not wo would soon starve He never forgets our returning wants and never loses a chance to provide for us seasons come regularly and day and night come in their proper time The rains fall on the just and the unjust We ore dealt with very kindly If we do not know exactly what objects demand our help there is at least the claims of public worship we cannot do without churches We cannot do without ministers but we are apt to want the church kept up In the Express Train Tho whistle had sounded its shrill refrain the train was on the of starting and snugly ensconced in a seat on the shady side just opened the pages of a bewitching now smelling of type and paper and interspersed with the dainty illustrations that add such charms to some of publications of the day She was a pretty highbred looking girl with largo blue eyes a skin as fair as a rose leaf and regular features while her travelling dress of dove colored cashmere her exquisitelyfit ting glovey and piquant little hat whose brown soberness was re lieved by a single scat let wing stamp ed her with the intangible signet of lady liked to travel she liked a comfortable seat she delighted in a new book and relished chocolate and hero they were all combin ed in one And she drew a little sigh of relief as she turned tho first page and bit her dainty white teeth into the crisp brown side of a burned almond Just then the dream was dispelled by Is this seat engaged brow darkened her lips involuntarily compressed she glanced up and saw a lady in black standing in the aisle Nno she answered in precisely the accents which interpreted by a womans quick ear I wish you were in Jericho Aud she moved about three inches toward the window without taking down the leath er travelling bag which occupied the space of a well grown child at her The lady hesitated Cannot you make a little more room she asked politely Miss without designing with the least possible expense We I verbal re moved perhaps an inch farther The bag might go in the rack overhead suggested the stranger It is too large briefly answered growing more and more ex asperated at what she deemed this un called for interference in her affairs On the floor then perhaps in sisted the troublesome traveller Miss made no answer but opened her book again as if the dis cussion were quite at an end anil began to read calmly The lady bit her lip Do pay for two seats she asked looked up with a weary elevation of her prettily penciled brows I have made all the room I can she answered sharply You can sit- down or stand up as you please our churches comfortably heated lighted cleanly kept etc and this cannot be done unless everyone who uses it gives his or her proportion and those who are the most backward in giving are frequently the first to notice any defect either in the church or the minister Then there is the cause of missions which demands our help also the care for the poor For the poor shall never cease out of the land therefore I command thee saying Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother to thy poor and to thy needy in thy land Let us each remember what Christ has done for us how for our sake He became poor that we might become rich What shall we render unto God for all his benefits to us I Let us think carefully over this matter and each do his or her duty with the talents that have been in trusted to us and when we shall Ap pear before Him it shall be said to us Well done thou hast been faithful enter into the joy of thy Lord Mr Robert Gibbons exSheriff of Huron is dead Henry a youth of Bixteen

and I dont doubt that Mrs carriage will be here to meet me At this instant a tall distinguished figure entered the nearest door with a questioning look on his features and as if by instinct Melicent Merivale knew that this was the widowed brotherinlaw of Mrs Addington Sey mour She half rose involuntarily he doffed his hat Miss Merivale Melicent smiled and bowed graci ously but at the same moment

nature and she de cided during the one hurried second in which Mr Seymour was helping her to the platform that apologies would only make matters worse So she smiled and murmured some feeble insanity of conversational speech feeling the while that she had ruined her own prospects And for all the lack of a little courtesy such as Gods children should give and take as freely as His sunshine She
