Then follt‘ms logioall-y the oft- presented pioblem of Christian Stewardship which each of us must solve not only for the help of the world beyond ourselves. but also for our own salvation. "Onward Chrisâ€" tian Soldiers. marching as to war" is fine, but are “D at. the present. rate of missionary giving marching or are we standing or pezhaps only sleeping? That is an Old Testament clarion Missionary call. The supreme work of the Christian Church is to spread the Gospel, and it is a law of Nature and of God that that which does not. fulfil its destiny shall die. If the Church is not missionary she will die. And if the Church dies, then we members of the Church will be responsible for her burial and for our own spiritual death. We can- not all be missionaries, but we can help to send missionaries for if our brethren go to the meat battlefield of all the ages. then we at home can- not sit quietly down and content. ourselves with onh praying f01 I their SUIlOPt and wishing for thei1t‘ welfare. That kind of prawr is not 1 honest, and that kind of wish i I mere drivel. “’0 must have energ} as well as emotion. CI) good man as he is. falls shortxfor there is no sacrifice. The men in Flanders gave more than they could spare, and Jesus Christ expects us to do the same on this age-long battle- field. 2. He who gives as little as he can spare. Next comes the Christian Who gives as little as he can spare. He gives it from the sense or conven- tional. decency; that is all. He “tips” God Almighty. That expression may not be very classical or reverent, but it has pardonable monosyllabic snap about it, and may be better under- stood than some longer and less ex- pressive pulpit phrase. A well- known evangelist says: “Going to Church only will not make a man a Christian any more than putting a wheelbarrow into a garage will make it into a limousine." 3. He who gives as much as he can spare. ‘ ' Next comes the Christian who gives as much as he can spare. This man is rising in the scale of stewâ€" ardship. He does not belong to the. standing army at least; but even he. 4". He who gives until it hurts him. . Next comes the Christian who gives more than he can spare. He gives sacrificially and hurts himself Five Classes of Givers. From a "‘1\ 1n point at How H1010 are five classes of Christianx we may name them on the five fingers. of our hand. 1. He who gives nothing at all; The little finger littingly repre- sents the man who gives nothing at? all. “'0 can illustrate him by the story of a collector who took up the Church collection somewhere. He offered the plate to a man sitting comfortably in a pew some distance from the front. This Christian ig- nored the plate, regarding it merely as a form or piece of ecclesiastical plant or furniture. The collector held it forth appealignly. and at last. said. “Take some out.” “What. for?” said the sitter. “It is for the heathen,“ was the reply. The atti- tude of the man who gives nothing at all recalls to us the brief but forceful statement from the New Testament: “They all forsook him and fled.” mi H 0 \W T O G I V E To What Class Do We Belong? "Shall your brethren go to wamand shall ye sit here?" For The Quiet Hbur â€"â€"Numbers 32 :6 As God Gives. But. in addition, the giving to God must he systematic, not spasmodic, for He gives to us systematically. and not spasnwdically. If He gives to us daily, then why should we not give to Him weekly"? How long must we continue to give to Him? Just as long as He continues to give to us. We worship in our Churches on the first day of the week with praise and prayer and exhortation. Let us as regularly worship by our gifts. But remember, God wants our obedience, not. our patronageâ€"J. A. Paterson, Toron to. Our Class. To what, class of these five do we belong? Let each or us search his own heart and answer to himself. Most of us go through these differ- ent stages in our lives. Many grad- uate into the fourth class, but there remains still the pest-graduate course for all to take. Are we doing it? And if not now, when will we? A PRISON CONVERT In Chefoo, a company of business men have formed a local Chinese in- dependent church. Due to the ef- orts of these men there has been a most unique conversion in the new model prison. The convert was at one time chief of police, a highly educated gentleman, but for conniv- ing at an attempt to smuggle con- traband Opium, he was sentenced to six years imprisonment. He became interested in the Gospel and signi- fied his desire to be baptized. Two elders of the independent church went to the prison and in the pres- ence of the keeper and 400 fellow- prisoners he was baptized. Since} then. like Joseph. he has found great: favor with the keeper of the prison, and wears an armlet bearing the characters “a good man.” He is3 sent from cell to cell to settle all troubles and is regarded as a king‘ and just mediator by all.

WIFE-BEATING IN EGYPT The Church Missionary Outlook states that wife-beating, having the sanction of the Koran, is common in Egypt, and women are often treated worse than animals. A man who was striking a woman across the face with a whip replied to the one who rebuked him by saying: “0, she is only my sister." The writer says: "I have never seen a woman retaliâ€" ate. They put up with gross indig- nities and cruelty at the hands of their lmsbands. as if this were the most natural treatment in the world. And people pass by. taking no notice; perhaps even laughing at the man’s anger, but showing no pity for the silent sufferer.” a. He who gives because it will hurt him if he does not give. Lastly comes the Christian who gives because it will hurt him if he does not give. The fourth man gives from duty, square-jawed, straight- backed. stifi-nerx'ed Duty. Duty is a great word. but not the greatest. This man gives from Love, gentle, gracious, but omnipotent Love. Duty grips us till it hurts and scorches, and it frowns; Love touches us till she soothes and warms gently as the morning sun and she smiles. Duty grows tired, but Love goes the whole way. in the givino. Such a man makes some approach to the spirit of Geth- semane and those who have been really witnesses or martyrs.
