The great underlying principle of the gospel is that of giving and diffusing. “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.” He is the Light that “lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” This great unselfish truth is taught the disciple: “Give, and it shall be given unto you.” “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The controlling principle of the world is that of withholding. This is seen in selfish pleasure and aggrandizement, in the hoarding of wealth, in the concentration of power and population, and in other means whereby the principles of the gospel are set at naught.
